Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MCDS 0407

"Brazilian TV hunk Ronnie Von released, it is of the prevailing opinion, far too many albums between 1966 and 1972. But he hit the target with three of them, a trilogy on par with the very well-known Mutantes first three LPs. Here on the self-titled 1968 album, we have psychedelia with some pop hints, amazing songwriting, sharp and heavy fuzz guitars combined with groovy organs, piano and tasty horns, along with fantastic vocals by Ronnie. Six bonus tracks from 1967 include several of Von's first hits, all of which are delightful to hear. Limited edition reissue has remastered sound, original artwork, and a hefty booklet with biography, photos, and lyrics."

...O Império de Nuncamais. "Second part of the amazing psychedelic trilogy by Brazilian star Ronnie Von, recorded between 1969-1970. There's little doubt that the three albums which comprise Von's brief psychedelic legacy are not only a memorable break from his multitude of pop outings, but more importantly, stand as three of the more compelling psychedelic recordings to emerge from any single artist of the era. This record is a collection of 12 psychedelic pop songs, with unique arrangements, featuring violins, reverse guitars, brass, piano and various psychedelic effects. Even more innovative than the previous album (already reissued by Discos Mariposa) and nothing like what you might have expected from someone who is more pop star and psychedelic guru. Some songs are entrancing epics, some Tropicalia, and others just pop/psych masterpieces. Includes the entire album, plus 4 bonus tracks. A fulsome 24-page booklet includes a history of Von's career, as well as lyrics for all the songs."

Title:	A Máquina Voadora
Label:	DISCOS MARIPOSA (WORLD'S LEADING TERRORIST STATE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MCDS 0412

"The last and probably best album from Von's incredible psychedelic trilogy from the years 1969-1970. We said some time ago that of the three key albums from this long-time Brazilian pop-star, that the first was the best, but hearing this again suggests that it's time to revise that opinion. It's true that all three albums make it clear that the psychedelic effects of Tropicalia were not confined to Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Gal Costa. Yes, Von often takes a poppier angle in getting to a similar fuzz-guitar driven musical landscape, but not only does he get there all the same, on this album the pop is minimal, and the fuzz supreme. It's difficult to describe how balanced this album is, as it features truly one-of-a-kind songs, which include any number of effects and treatments of Ronnie's enchanting voice, all of which matches perfectly with the mysterious and melancholic songs on the album. Listen to it and let yourself fly into the far reaches of Ronnie Von's dreamy, twisted mind. Comes with a fulsome 20-page booklet that includes a history of Von's career (sort of), as well as lyrics."

Format:	LP
Price:	$24.00
Catalog #:	RV 132LP

"Brazilian TV star Ronnie Von released many albums during 1966 and 1972, but he did hit the blank with three of them. This should be one of the most acclaimed trilogies of any psychedelic artist without any doubt, and has nothing to miss from the today so well-known Mutantes trilogy. Renovaçao Records will reissue this trilogy, and starts out from the beginning. This is the self-titled 1968 album. It's hard to find the deserved words to describe this wonderful album, you have to judge it by yourself. Portuguese sung psychedelia with some pop hints, truly amazing songwriting, sharp and heavy fuzz guitars combining with groovy organs, piano and tasty horns, along with fan-tas-tic vocals by Ronnie. We simply cannot recommend this album enough. Limited reissue of 500 copies with remastered sound, original artwork, and including an insert with the vocals (not on the original album!)."

Price:	$24.00
Catalog #:	RV 134LP

"This is the last and maybe best album in the trilogy, titled A Máquina Voadora (the flying machine). I don't think it's possible to describe how greatly composed and balanced this album is, truly one-of-a-kind songs. Both mid and slower tempo tunes are mixed here, including all kinds of effects and Ronnie's enchanting voice, which fits perfectly with the mysterious and melancholic songs in this album. Just listen to it, read the lyrics, look at the cover and let yourself fly into Ronnie's dreamy twisted mind. Reissued on vinyl for the first time, with insert containing lyrics to all songs (not on the original release!) Limited to 500 copies."
