5.0 out of 5 stars What a shame!!! Out of print?!?!?, December 20, 2005
This is my top #1 desert island disc. If I have not listened to this album 500 times since I bought it 10 years ago, then I haven't listened to it at all.

It contains three years' worth of absolute seminal recordings. Yes it is in the late 50's style (compared to today's productions, it is fairly "lame") but musically there is so much packed into these 38 tracks it is nothing less than astonishing.

What hasn't already been said about JG? That he is a guitar god? That he has worked with brilliant songwriters? That his mixture of guitar and voice is unique and enticing?

OK so the CD is out of print. Dang. While you wait, buy the Getz-Gilberto album in the meanwhile. It's better than nothing at all.

Long live bossa nova!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Absolute Best, November 13, 2003
It's a shame this disc is out of print. Packed with two-minute bursts of Bossa Nova goodness. Sound is crystal clear. Of all the samba discs I own, this seems to be the one perennial. Find it used if you can. Hopefully World Pacific will release it again at some point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, March 9, 2003
By "cmartins" (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil) - See all my reviews
This is an essential collection: Joao Gilberto's first three albums, Chega de Saudade, O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor and Joao Gilberto (which for some unfathomable reason have never been re-issued in CD), plus two tracks from an impossible-to-find double seven-inch mini-LP of Joao performing songs from the Black Orpheus movie. Those albums revolutionized Brazilian music, and epitomize true-blue bossa nova. It's all there: the songs (including pre-bossa ones revisited in Joao's unique style, cf. Rosa Morena and Aos Pes da Cruz, the latter of which was shamelessly stolen by Miles Davis and Gil Evans), the instrumentation, the arrangements (mostly by Antonio Carlos Jobim), the beat - and, of course, Joao's singing and guitar playing, the very heart of bossa nova and an undying influence on all that came afterwards.

(An update: I've learned that this CD has been unavailable for quite some time now due to a court dispute between Joao and EMI. Seems that, not content with putting the tracks all out of order, EMI has, in the remix, substantially altered - for the worse - the original recordings. If so - and all the reliable expert testimonies say so - it's not, alas, representative of Joao's work. More's the pity. If you don't have those albums, you may as well go for this CD, but you've been forewarned...)

5.0 out of 5 stars This is on my desert island list
I purchased this double album in 2003 in some cheap music store in Barcelona. I was new and only put me back 7 euros. Best purchase for an album EVER. Read more
