Creed Taylor had a gift for framing Brazilian artists for stateside ears without sanding away what made them essential, and Deodato's arrangements here sit in that sweet spot between lush and spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarcos Valle -\"Samba '68 (Verve Vault Series)\" [180g Heavy Vinyl LP] Samba '68, released on Verve, introduced Brazilian singer\/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Marcos Valle to a wider international audience. Already established in Brazil through songs such as \"Samba de Verao\" (\"Summer Samba\"), Valle worked here with producer Creed Taylor on a recording that pairs Brazilian rhythmic forms with contemporary American studio orchestration. The sessions include vocals by Anamaria Valle and arrangements by Eumir Deodato. The repertoire features English-language versions of compositions co-written by Valle, including \"So Nice (Summer Samba),\" \"Chup Chup, I Got Away,\" and \"Safely In Your Arms,\" alongside additional material that reflects his economical writing and feather-light rhythmic approach. The album documents a meeting point between Brazilian popular music and international pop-jazz studio practice at the end of the 1960s. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal. Towa Bird returns with her sophomore album Gentleman - 11 songs that navigate the tension between masculine and feminine archetypes, delivered with undeniable confidence and swagger from one of music's most promising voices. Featuring the singles \"Dirty Habit\" and \"Dog,\" with contributions from Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna, Gentleman sharpens Towa's guitar-driven rush into a world of queer romance and self-assured style - equal parts charm, humor, vulnerability, and bite. Produced by Patrick Wimberly (MGMT, Blood Orange, Solange. ) Pressed on red vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. The Answer (2:39)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Crickets Sing For Anamaria (2:08)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. So Nice (Summer Samba) (2:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Chup Chup, I Got Away (2:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. If You Went Away (2:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Pepino Beach (1:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. She Told Me, She Told Me (2:41)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. It's Time To Sing (2:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Batucada (1:58)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. The Face I Love (1:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Safely In Your Arms (3:06)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199957015127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.15.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve Records (V6-5053)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1968  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 The Answer – 2:39\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Crickets Sing For Anamaria – 2:08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 So Nice (Summer Samba) – 2:26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Chup Chup, I Got Away – 2:14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 If You Went Away – 2:51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA6 Pepino Beach – 1:50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 She Told Me, She Told Me – 2:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 It's Time To Sing – 2:50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Batucada – 1:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 The Face I Love – 1:56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Safely In Your Arms – 3:06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEumir Deodato – Arranged By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVal Valentin – Engineer (Director Of Engineering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank Laico – Engineer (Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSidney Eden – Liner Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob Morgan (2) – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRay Gilbert – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547780927806,"sku":"141520966","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633306431806-transparent-v2.png?v=1791440214","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/marcos-valle-samba-68-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
