Various Artists - Sucesso de Ouro (1971)


This record was picked up in Santa Cruz at the record/book store known as Logos. I got it for 7 bucks and considering it was printed in 1971 and has tracks by Mutantes and Tim Maia on it, I'd say it was a pretty good deal. The cover is sort of ridiculous with the American-ized woman chilling in her va-va-voom bathing suit, but the record basically rules. Brazil in 1971 was a serious goldmine of great melodies. The track "O Carona" is a nice little fuzzy, funk stomper by Tony e Som Colorido. The Mutantes track is totally out of control once those synths come in half-way and Arnaldo Baptista just starts going bananas into the mic. Pretty sure that this Mutantes track is on this album. But so many great tracks, especially nice one from Marcus Pitter, whose 1970 album, A Voz do Sucesso I am now on the verge of shelling out for.
