"This album will pull you in with its first track and only single, the iconic “The Girl From Ipanema,” and it’ll hold your attention through its duration. I found its second track “Doralice” to be a high point on the record--Joao Gilberto’s playful, soft vocals are an absolute joy, particularly in contrast to the more melancholy vibe of the album overall. I also loved the track “Só Danço Samba,” another upbeat song in which you’ll hear a stark contrast between Gilberto’s subdued vocal style and Getz’s sharper, heavier performance on the saxophone."

PLEASE NOTE: our vinyl lp's are intended for a collector's audience. We visually (and conservatively) grade each record; if in doubt, we will clean ultrasonically and test play for accuracy. (Those cleaned will be noted.) We understand that the grading system is very subjective, but we closely follow the Goldmine guidelines:
- MINT: only used for sealed LP's as "assumed Mint." Sealed LP's are purchased at your risk. We are not able to confirm the content of the LP, as it is sealed. If you open it - it is no longer in the same condition as it was sold and cannot be returned.
- NEAR MINT: record looks like it was opened for the first time.Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any 'spindle marks.' Not commonly used. Ask if you have questions - we're happy to supply additional images. Cover: same, no visual imperfections. Shiny, with no visible defects.
- VG+ : some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. Cover: There may be some light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Should have only minor wear; it might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long). Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking or a small name inscribed.
- VG: Groove wear is evident, as are light scratches that can be felt with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and ending; however, the noise will not otherwise overpower the music. Covers: will have obvious signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won't be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written on it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
- Good (G),
Good Plus (G+): we will not offer LP's in this condition, unless it is clearly marked in the item description- and only then due to the scarcity of the title in the marketplace.
