"Is there any need for an introduction to Astrud Gilberto, The Girl From Ipanema, who brought the nonchalant 'Vaga' vocal style of the Brazilian New Wave to international attention and launched a thousand indie-girl records and fantasies in a time and place she never imagined? Rev-Ola proudly presents the second in our series of Astrud Gilberto's wonderful albums, described as her best album by none other than popmeister Duglas T. Stewart of The BMX Bandits. Well, it IS simply amazing. A move into softpop rendered in her trademark sexy style but with the surprising addition of some pretty funky playing. As her tenure at famed jazz label Verve was running down, her versions of songs by The Beatles, Bee Gees, Margo Guryan and The Doors gave a new slant to her amazing talents... simply lovely! Wonderfully remastered in the most painstaking Rev-Ola style!"

"Astrud & Stanley's only LP for CTI, recorded in 1971, is now available again in a splendid new gatefold cover. This should already be a classic, as everything touched by the hand of Eumir Deodato deserves. The interesting thing here is that aside from the fantastic performances of 'Ponteio,' 'Vera Cruz' (a superb rendition by Stanley Turrentine!), 'Brazilian Tapestry' or 'Traveling Light,' we are reissuing the Spanish version of the album which features the two Spanish sung covers of 'Love Story' and 'For All We Know.' As a bonus, sides A & B of the superb Spanish single from 1972 'Acercándome a Ti' and 'En Tu Piel,' both written by Ennio Morricone and produced by the best producer from this country Manolo Díaz, are included in the package. 'Acercándome a Ti' is probably one of the very best songs Astrud Gilberto has sung, a very nice easy-with-strings tune backed by a you-must-hear-it-to-believe-it fuzz guitar sound from outer space. Groovy!"
