5.0 out of 5 stars Gil arrebentando em Londres!, May 11, 2001

By 

Arthur Muhlenberg - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gilberto Gil (1971) (Audio CD)

O exílio voluntário de Gil e Caetano não serviu só pra eles ficarem fumando maconha com Jim Cappaldi em Londres. Esse disco é realmente uma pérola entre os muitos que ele gravou nos anos 70. Além de cantar num bom inglês, Gil compôs boa música também na língua do Bardo. Nêga ( Photograph Blues), Crazy Pop Rock e Mamma merecem atenção especial.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bonus tracks not exactly a bonus, April 18, 2007

This review is from: Gilberto Gil (1971) (Audio CD)

Classic sounds from the legendary Brazilian musician and current Minister of Culture(!) If you're not familiar with his work, this is indeed a great place to start. Find it on vinyl, tho'. The remastering doesn't do this record any favours, the "bonus" tracks aren't particularly enlightening, and whilst I realise this borders on sacrilege, the cover of "Sgt. Pepper", aside from the awesome guitar break, is, well, kind of awful. Sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars A psychedelic Brazilian/English pop gem from 1971, March 28, 2007

This review is from: Gilberto Gil (1971) (Audio CD)

It's just been reissued stateside at a reasonable price.
Do not miss this one! The two covers of Blind Faith's Can't Find My Way Home
are worth the price of admission on their own.
