Astrud Gilberto: Now Vinyl LP

This 1972 vinyl LP from Astrud Gilberto is a gem! It's her first album mainly featuring her own compositions, with her as the producer and Deodato contributing the arrangements. Tracks like 'Take It Easy My Brother Charlie,' 'Zigy Zigy Za,' and 'Gingele' showcase sharp samba - funk, proving Gilberto is more than just a novelty. Her instrumentation and arrangements rival those of respected Brazilian songwriters like Jorge Ben at that time. Non - Astrud composed tracks like 'General Da Banda' and 'Make Love To Me' are also great. It comes in a reproduction sleeve and has 10 tracks in total. Music label: Perception Records.

Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable and gently drop the needle at the start of the track you want to play. When handling the record, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or fingerprints on it. Keep the vinyl away from direct sunlight and heat, as these can warp the record. After each use, return the record to its sleeve carefully. If the record gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. Enjoy the amazing music of Astrud Gilberto!
