Zila Fonseca - Sambas da Saudae Vol. 2 (1958)

Columbia LPCB 35054

Zilá Fonseca's Sambas da Saudade Vol 2 has been presented for the first time in another reality some eight years ago. At this time I mentioned in the accompanying text that logic says that where there is a volume 2, there must be also a volume 1.
So far Zilá Fonseca's Sambas da Saudade Vol 1 has not appeared anyplace, not even with a mention, least of all with a download link or a picture of the cover.

This mystery remained a mystery until yesterday when I received from Pedro & 300discos the same album, this time in form of a Pedro transfer and cover.

Not that the package included any clue about the missing volume 1, but it induced me to perform another search, needles to say, a fruitless one.

Frustrated, I sent a mail to my friend, the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, explaining the problem that has been bothering me for such a long time.

Almost immediately, I got a reply which I will quote here:

Mon cher Milan,

It seems to me that you have been formulating the wrong question so you can not expect to get an answer.
Pourquoi? Parce qu'il n'existe pas!
There is not a first volume of Zilá Fonseca's Sambas da Saudade but there is a first one of Columbia's Sambas da Saudade series of two 10' albums.
In fact, the "missing" album it is right under your nose:
In this parallel reality which you are trying to make decent folks believe in.
Voilà, click this link and see for yourself.

Regards

Claudio Marcelo e Seu Orgao - Dance Suavemente (N/D)

Paladium 7 024

This is the third career album by organ player Cláudio Marcelo posted on Parallel Realities. As it is unlisted, I performed a quick search about Cláudio...

The results were shocking!

Not that a false name in Brazilian discography can shock me but the number of aliases under which Ed Linkoln has recorded his music comes close, or even surpasses the numerous aliases of João Leal Brito, so far considered as the absolute false name champion.
Here are just a few of Ed Lincoln's false names:  
Don Pablo de Havana, Les 4 Cadillacs, Berry Benton, Cláudio Marcello, Muchacho nas Bocas, Ed Costa Musicshow, Ed Kennedy, John Marcel,..

However incredible it may sound, Ed  Lincoln had also a real name:
Eduardo Lincoln Barbosa de Sabóia.

Here are also real names of compositions performed on this album:

01. Drink na Praia (Luis Antônio / Gilberto Panicali)
02. People (J. Styne / B. Merrill)
03. And I Love Her (Lennon / McCartney)
04. Nature Boy (Edenahbez)
05. Fio de Esperança (Victor Young)
06. Preciso aprender a ser só (Marcos Valle / Paulo S. Valle)
07. Não quero Você triste (Roberto Carlos / E. Carlos)

Paulinho e Seu Conjunto probably for the first time on Parallel Realities. Probably, because when a musician is named just Paulinho confusion with all the other Paulinhos whose producer had the bright idea to make them "The Paulinho" is unavoidable.

Sandra (A Voz Balanco) - Samba 35 MM (1961)

PAWAL ST-P-70016 (Stereo version)

One of the first albums ever that I have found on Loronix was Sandra's only career album. I also re-posted it from Loronix into another reality some 5-6 years ago. Last night I received it in a STEREO version from Edson Mendes, accompanied with a text about Sandra and some additional infromation about this album as well as two bonus tracks.

Here is Edson's complete text:

Sandra was a night club singer that sang with pianist and composer Newton Mendonça in boites such La Boheme and Carroussel, in Copacabana (RJ). She also worked at Djalma Ferreira's Drink.

With this album Samba 35mm, Sandra won the "Sambista - singer female newcomer" award from the Brazilian Association of Record Critics in 1961. But a few days before receiving the award in December of that year, Sandra died in a car crash. The cab she was traveling in skidded on the streetcar rails in Vila Isabel and crashed into a lamp-post.

As a highlight, this disc features two exclusive compositions by Newton Mendonça: "Nuvem" (the only one recording) and "O Tempo não Desfaz" (released in the previous year by singer Geny Martins).

01. Caminhando  (Luis Bandeira)
02. Dói... Dói... Dói...  (João Mello)
03. Tão Bom  (Hercílio Silva - Edgardo Luiz)
04. O Tempo Não Desfaz  (Newton Mendonça)
05. Devagar Com A Louça  (Luis Reis - Haroldo Barbosa)
06. Era Bom  (Hianto de Almeida - Macedo Netto)
07. Se Você Gostou  (Fernando Cesar - Carlos Imperal)
08. A Sandália Da Nêga (a.k.a. Deixa a Nega Gingar)  (Luiz Claudio)
09. Sem Bossa  (Wenceslau Netto)
10. Luluzinha Bossa Nova  ( Ronaldo Boscoli - Roberto Menescal)
11. O Maioral  (Sylvio Vianna)
12. Nuvem  (Newton Mendonça)

Bonus tracks (from Celso Murilo's album Férias no Drink - Pawal 20014 -1961):

13. Menino desce daí (Paulinho Nogueira)
14. Chiclete com banana (Gordurinha - Almira Castilho)

Technical data (incomplete):

Produção: Américo Raimundo Nogueira Lima
Arranjos: Celso Murilo e Marco Ruppi

TRIVIA FOR THE DISTINGUISHED CONNAISSEUR by Brazilliance:
Tenor saxophonist Marco Ruppi aka Marko Rupe reutilized all arrangements except “Nuvem” the following year on the album Sambalanço credited as Orquestra Moderna de Sambas. For comparison you may listen here and here.
More of Sandra’s fine talent can be found on Celso Murilo’s ISTO É O DRINK from 1960 with her performing exquisite renditions of Poema das Mãos and A Tua Volta.

The Fire Boys - Musica para a Jovem Guarda (N/D)

SBA/Musipop M-ADS 001

The previously to me unknown Jovem Guarda band The Fire Boys seemed to have only this one career album, released at an unknown date by SBA/Musipop.
After digging a bit deeper, the first impression turned out to be completely wrong as The Fire Boys are just an extra project false name of The Fevers, whose discography consists of compactos, albums, extra projects, collections and participations in a huge number, so huge that I gave up the idea of counting it..

The compositions performed on their Parallel Realities premiere are:

01. A Casa D'irene (Francesco Maresca / Francesco Pagano)
02. Emoção (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos)
03. Taboo (Margarita Lecuona)
04. Parei... Olhei (Rossini Pinto)
05. Wooly Bully (Domingo Samudio)
06. Letkiss Jenka (Rauno Lehtinen)
07. Alguém Na Multidão (Rossini Pinto)
08. Ai De Mim (All Of Me) (Seymour Simons / Gerald Marks / Vrs. Neusa de Souza)
09. Quando o Sol Despertar (Almir Bezerra / Pedrinho da Luz)
10. Help (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
11. Shame And Scandal In The Family (Huon Donaldson / Slim Henry Brown)
12. Festa De Arromba (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos)

Eu sou Nora Ney ...e canto (1957)

Continental LPP 57

This 10' LP by Nora Ney was one of the first recordings I posted in the first side branch of parallel realities some 8 years ago, wrapped in a cover found in another reality.

Here it is again, in form of a transfer by Pedro, with all covers and label scans, which means that this time you may also read the linear notes.

I will here just note that four of the tracks are collected from 78 rpm albums, while four were previously unreleased: Se and Risque + Franqueza and Chove lá fora which were simultaneously released also as 78 rpm):

1. Saudade da Bahia (Dorival Caymmi) Samba 78rpm: 17.449 / 1957
2. De Cigarro Em Cigarro (Luiz Bonfá) Samba-canção 78rpm: 16.726 / 1953
3. É Tão Gostoso Seu Moço (Chocolate / Mário Lago) Samba-choro 78rpm: 16.787 / 1953
4. Se (Ary Barroso) Samba
5. Franqueza (Denis Brean / Osvaldo Guilherme) Samba-canção
6. Chove Lá Fora (Tito Madi) Valsa
7. Bar da Noite (Bidú Reis / Haroldo Barbosa) Samba 78rpm: 16.787 / 1953
8. Risque (Ary Barroso) Samba-canção

Pompilio Diniz - Poemas do Nordeste

RGE RLP - 200.000

The first album in the planned RGE series of poetry features texts from the book: Mane Gonçalo e o Nordeste by Pompilio Diniz.

Needles to say that, although I understand a bit of Portuguese when I see it written, I can not tell you anything about Pompílio Diniz's poetry but Helcio Carvalho de Castro can and he has done it in the linear nots.

There is also an easier and better way for you to experience Pompilio's work by listening to the poems.
If you understand Portuguese, of course:

01. Festa de Inleição
02. O Ecripe
03. A Duença
04. Fuxico de Muié
05. Mussambê
06. Pruquê
07. Maria
08. Preposta de Cabôco
09. Pesadêlo
10. Supertição
11. Boi de Ingenho 

As expected, the poet is presenting his poems himself

Instantaneos de Helio Paiva E A Musica de Ary Barroso (1957)

Sinter SLP 1714

Singer Hélio Paiva has had so far only one song (Canta Maria) presented in this parallel reality. It was part of the Souvenir Musical (1957) Fantasia/Philips showcase, posted almost a year ago.
Now he has his real career album premiere (and, unfortunately, also his goodbye) as the album presented today is not only his first, but also his last.

Unfortunately, as his rendition of Ary Barroso's music is really good as you will hear for yourselves if you download  this album and get a chance to enjoy:

01. Faixa de Cetim (Ary Barroso)
02. Canta Maria (Ary Barroso)
03. Caboca (Ary Barroso)
04. Rei Nagô (Ary Barroso / Marcos Sandoval)
05. Hoje É Novo Dia (Ary Barroso)
06. Isto Aqui O Que É (Ary Barroso)
07. Tu (Ary Barroso)
08. Quero Dizer-te Adeus (Ary Barroso)
09. Chula-ô (Ary Barroso)
10. No Rancho Fundo (Ary Barroso / Lamartine Babo)

Looks like Ary Barroso liked Hélio's rendition of his songs as the back cover features not only a photograph of Ary Barroso together with Hélio, but also Ary is the writer of the linear notes.

I must stress the fact that, regardless of his vocal qualities, Hélio Paiva's mustache can not compete with Miltinho's as Miltinho is simply the first of all mustached gentlemen.
