🇧🇷 Stock drop! 🇧🇷 Another shipment of Chaleira Voadora Discos has landed, with Jards Macalé, Luiz Melodia, Marcelo Alkmim and more hitting our Discogs soon...

Highlights include Ricardo's personal choice of the lot, Jards Macalé - Contrastes (1977-OG) minty definitive copy. "Perfect sounding diverse album, probably the best production Macalé ever had the way he deserved. You will have classic samba and adventurous "far out" tracks, as well as a couple of ground breaking dancefloor stuff, all beautifully arranged in this mighty album."

Luiz Melodia's "Claro" is in excellent condition - Melodia's 6th album has some hard and busy funky grooves! Superb condition overall with double fold insert present, all very new, definitive copy.

There's also a couple of copies of Marcelo Alkmim's 1982 self titled release (1982 new old stock) "Obscure independent gem from Minas Gerais. New old stock, but white cover has some mild yellowing. Double insert and record itself are absolutely minty. So many awesome musicians gathered together here (as is seems to be Minas Gerais tradition) having some outstanding arrangements at this folk-jazz-prog fantastic album. A must listen and have!

Watch this space for more releases when they land

🇧🇷 Another Chaleira Voadora Discos Brazilian stock drop here in Brighton! 🇧🇷

Ricardo has sent over a fresh batch of Brazilian beauties available direct from us here at First Press, we'll be getting regular imports and if you want access to Ricardo's picks of records that don't come up in the UK too often - just drop us a message! Store coming soon, but get in early via the DMs...

Here's a selection of what we've got fresh off the plane...

Pinduca - Carimbó & Sirimbó No Embalo Do... Vol. 3 / VG+
OG 1st press, very hard to find these popular records in such great shape! Few little blemishes here and there, sounds perfect! Carimbó is a very swinging rythm from Northeast Brazil, deriving from blends of Forró from the state of Pará countryside when they got to know more electric music, late 60s.

Matuskela (1973 - only RE 2022) / NM
Songwriting psychedelia, very interesting lyrics! Played about 4 times. Sounds honestly better than the original, very nice limited reissue on white marble vinyl. Insert present. Only release of one of the few bands from Brasília in the 70s

Gal Costa - Gal Canta Caymmi / VG
One of Gal's best post Tropicalia albums from 1976 - 2nd or 3rd Press, late 70s. Some little hairlines, nothing bad, clean VG+ sound. Cover might be on a lower end VG for a sticker residue and general seam wear. Pretty decent!

Cezar De Mercês - Nada No Escuro / VG
Classy and soulful album from ex-member of O Terço. Includes rare insert! Lots of wear to the cover but doesn't look that terrible, honestly. Flimsy original paper has more to do with it. Record sounds quite wonderful and clean!
