Scat vocals all over this early MPS treat arranged by Frank Pleyer and Pedro Gonez. Good mix of melodic easy jazz and bossa nova. Rare find in lovely EX plus plus condition.

Seldom seen Metronome pressing by Swedish trumpeter Arnold Johansson who played alongside Ake Persson and Bengt Hallberg. No reference to who is backing here but both Rune Gustafson and Sture Kallin are with him on ea...

Holy grail soundtrack recording by Brazilian composer Hareton Salvanini for the Zygmunt Sulistrowski film. Amazing album that spans everything from cinematic jazz, blaxploitation funk and deep dark fender grooves. A l...

Rarest Os Batuqueiro album release with a solid set of vocal sambas. Love the joyful Idioma Esquisito and hard hitting Voce Nao Passa De Uma. Brazilian original with soft scuffs and the odd mark.

Minty fresh promo copy of a truly wonderful Brazilian piece with amazing takes of Berimbau, Tem Mais Samba and Laia Ladaia. Record appears unplayed, cover looks close to perfect apart from a small rip at bottom seam.

Wonderful recording from Rio De Janeiro with Waldir Azevedo as special guest. For some reason only ever saw a release in Germany. Samba, jazz and bossa nova pave the way with a good blend of own compositions and cover...

Brilliant Bossa Nova and Samba Jazz on this German only RCA pressing from '76. Samba Am Berlin and Aquarela Do Brasil are both great but start with Samba, Viola E Eu introducing Heloisa Raso on vocals. Blissful! Soft ...

Such talent Milton Nascimento and I like pretty much all his records. This late seventies recording is very laid back (great Sunday listen) but does have a few clubby tunes notably in Roupa Nova and the short but swee...

Although a different sound to his early recordings you can never write off the master. Jazzy and funky with a little Brazilian spice obviously. Listen to Emorio for a feel of the direction of the album. Gatefold cover...

Old news that Frank Farian borrowed this über cool Mohammed Hanesh track for his Boney M smash. Perfect DJ surprise tune to drop out. Personally I really dig the instrumental side but both works great (check youtube f...

No wonder this is a popular record, purest cosmic sexiness on an exclusive non-album track. Strong EX copy with cover and disc not far off NM. Don't sleep on this, it has not got any easier to find of recent.

Another b-side masterpiece that makes you wonder if one would have hear more of FG's Romance had the b-side been promoted for the charts. Simple brilliance...

Another cosmic monster hidden as flip to ultra cheesy German disco production. Avoid the Children Of The Sun side and head straight to LOVE and ignite.....

New discovery with former Ten Years After drummer Ric Lee gone stone funky crossed with great synth solo work and rockish guitar. Don't miss the drum break at the end of the soundclip. Killer track on never seen befor...

Superb string laden disco piece by master producer Raymond Donnez who's signature is on many top productions (Alec Costandinos, Cerrone). Check the edited Part 2 side, hands up floorfiller breakdown.

Space disco by the self proclaimed 'cosmic heroes' Frank Zander and Klaus Zufall. Clean EX vinyl grade, cover with light crease.

Classic percussion heavy afro disco banger by Giampiero Scalamogna. African Love Song is the one to go for here although the intro on Oh Darling is pretty sweet too. White sticker on front, disc is EX.

Pearly Gates tackling the La Bionda classic in her typical sexy style. Cheap 7" single release of impossibly expensive (500 euros) 12inch release.

Essential recording that has a strong following in most musical fields from soul over rock to jazz, disco or hip hop. Little wonder really as the New Yorker's talents as songwriter and performer really comes to show o...

Superb crossover recording by Dutchman Erik Tagg that only ever came out on vinyl in Europe on EMI. An obvious jazz background is heard on many of the core track and the album should certainly sit well with blue eyed ...
