From The Hi-Fi


This is not normally a music blog (well, not a shared music blog, anyway), but since I featured the doodle (click the link for all the details about the LP) from the back of this LP, it hasn't been far from my turntable, my CD player, or my PC. So I've decided to share it out. If it goes well, and everybody loves it, maybe I'll share out more of the obscure, out-of-print LPs that I like to talk about here on the blog. I'm also sharing this because I could find so little info on the recording out there on the web, and everyone I played it for enjoyed it. Something to note on this LP is that tracks 4, 7 & 9 are written by Antonio Carlos Jobim. I don't know if the scan is detailed enough for you to be able to read that. If anyone comes up with a date for this record, please let me know.

So, without further ado, click here (or here) to download the LP via YouSendIt. The zip file contains all 12 tracks in MP3 format at 128Kbps, front and back cover scans, a detail scan of the doodle, and links back to my blog. If there is enough demand once the YouSendIt links expire, I may repost, but I make no guarantees.

  2. Starting at the beginning and moving forward, this appears to have been the first album posted to this blog and it seems to have vanished a long time ago as well.

    Sounds very interesting.

    Was it ever reposted to rapidshare?

    1. I need to revisit this record at some point, if only I could find it in the stacks. I remember it was really remarkable.

    2. It looks pretty swanky. I'm keeping my eye out for a copy. -Organ

    3. Not too pricey on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/master/2146396-Leo-Peracchi-And-His-Orchestra-Brazilian-Cocktails

  5. I was just checking that out. I had a friend who's mother made the observation that "he (me) would rather spend a dollar a hundred times, than spend $100 all at once." LIKE IT WAS A BAD THING?!?!?! I was raised in a bargain bin. -Organ

    1. Yes, I as well. But I've recently learned that $5 well-spent is worth more than $10 spent on garbage. So I indulge on things I want a little more now. :) Well, as long as the shipping is reasonable. I still wind up buying cheap garbage to get the average shipping down. :)
