Our Price: $149.99
- An outstanding copy of Beach Samba, with solid Double Plus (A++) sound or BETTER from top to bottom

- "This 1967 Verve LP has the breezy bossa novas and sambas Astrud was famed for, but also a Lovin' Spoonful duet with her young son and some seriously impressive scatting, too." - Amazon

Super Hot StamperAstrud Gilberto
The Astrud Gilberto Album
(Item #: gilbeastru_1912ex)
Our Price: $99.99
- With seriously good Double Plus (A++) sides or close to them, this Van Gelder mastered copy was one of the best we played in our shootout (but the vinyl is iffy at best)
- The sound here has real texture to the strings and breath to the vocals, key elements if this music is going to work
- 4 1/2 stars: "The Astrud Gilberto Album was at least as good as Getz/Gilberto (despite what jazz fans say), for several reasons. Gilberto sounded beautiful on a range of material, from the sentimental "Dindi" to the playful "Agua de Beber," and as long as intelligent musicians were playing to her strengths (as they do here), the results were splendid."

- Allmusic customers rate the album 4 Stars: "For her second Verve LP, Astrud Gilberto expanded her range from a raft of Gilberto/Jobim standards to embrace the large and obviously daunting catalogue of classic American pop."
