5.0 out of 5 stars
Rare recordings and gems by a Brazilian master, December 25, 2001
This review is from: Singles (Audio CD)
A SWEET collection of singles and non-album tracks from 1967 through the late '70s... Of course not everything on here is golden, but as a whole the disc is quite lovely and a must for the diehard Caetano fan. Some lovely, ornate pop ballads (from the same era as the albums "Qualquer Coisa" and "Bicho") are the highlights; disappointments include a tepid, demo-y version of "E Prohibido Prohibir," made in 1967 with Os Mutantes, although the accompanying track of concert ambience from the same era -- where they are being booed offstage by an irritated bossa-loving crowd -- is pretty fascinating as MPB history. He really was the "Dylan of Brazil," wasn't he?
