Milton Nascimento and Lo Borges - Clube Da Esquina (2LP Vinyl)
By 1972, Brazil was eight years into military rule, though Clube Da Esquina rarely wears that burden on its sleeve, which is precisely what makes it so remarkable. Milton Nascimento and Lo Borges gather the pastoral folk traditions of Minas Gerais, bossa nova, orchestral psychedelia and flashes of Beatles-esque pop that seems to exist on its own strange frequency, with Nascimento's unmistakable voice quietly stitching the whole thing together. The likes of 'Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser', 'Cais' and the deeply affecting 'San Vicente' drift seamlessly between joy and melancholy, intimacy and grandeur. Fifty-odd years on, the spell remains entirely unbroken.

Best $35 I've spent in a while. Not a particularly hard puzzle (completed in under 2 hours) but what it lacks in challenge it makes up for in cute. Loved that it wasn't a traditional jigsaw shape.
Love it!
I bought this for my husband for Father’s Day . He loves it! It was carefully packaged and wrapped . 5+ stars
The service from these guys is exemplary, and I was happy to score a bundle of albums on sale. I shouldn't be surprised to find that these reissues and remasters and anniversary editions sound absolutely woeful, however. The Wall - lifeless and underwhelming. Rumours - flat, muffled, lacking in dynamics and sparkle. Air - Safari, Nirvana - In Utero... and plenty more. All sonically disappointing, even streaming beats these versions. The only highlight was Cigarettes After Sex - one of the best things I've had the pleasure to wrap my earholes around in half a century. The takeaway? Don't blow your wedge on easy to buy represses, take the time to hunt out the real deal on Discogs or wherever.
best album i have listened to in a long time. absolutely LOVE the pink record too.
