Product Description
Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Recorded at Studio Somil, Rio de Janeiro in 1972, the album was produced, arranged, directed by the self-taught, Arthur Verocai.

The original Continental versions of the album now fetch around $2000. Our definitive re-issue is taken from the Continental tapes, remastered in 2012 under Arthur's supervision.
