Mendes, Sergio and Brasil 66 - Equinox - Super Hot Stamper (Quiet Vinyl)

Mendes, Sergio and Brasil 66 - Equinox - Super Hot Stamper (Quiet Vinyl)*NOTE: There is a mark that plays 5 times lightly about 1 2 way into the last track on side 2, "S Dano Samba." These Sergio Mendes records can be surprisingly dynamic, but only the better copies (such as this one) will allow those dynamics to explode naturally, with the kind of ease that only analog is capable of reproducing correctly in our experience. As you've no doubt noticed, we're the world's biggest fans of Sergio Mendes here at Better Records.

The trumpets do not get harsh at loud volumes the way they will on

The guitars will sound like real guitars and the voices will sound like real voices

they wear out their welcome pretty quickly with their hyped-up extremes

it's the sound of a poorly mastered Old Jazz Record

If I could have only one guitar concerto recording in my collection

and others lacked weight to the piano

Tenor Saxophone – Wayne Shorter

And guess where it finished: dead last

and powerful

lifeless and sound exactly the way so many old rock records sound: like an old rock record

In other words

full-bodied bass
