I'm offering the George Duke 33rpm album titled "Brazilian Love Affair" pressed onto this acetate record at Allen Zenta Recording studio here in Hollywood, CA.  Released  by Columbia's Epic Records in 1980. #FE 36483. In stereo. In it's original all white jacket with song titles glued to the bottom right and a plain biege  sleeve. I've owned this since it came out and have never played it. I worked in the entertainment business here in Hollywood and got a lot of records for free. Sometimes duplicates.  It's in mint condition. Likewise with the jacket and sleeve. Combine auctions and save on shipping.


George Duke (January 12, 1946 – August 5, 2013) was an American musician, known as a keyboard pioneer, composer, singer and producer in both jazz and popular mainstream musical genres. He worked with numerous artists as arranger, music director, writer and co-writer, record producer and as a professor of music. He first made a name for himself with the album The Jean-Luc Ponty Experience with the George Duke Trio. He was known primarily for thirty-odd solo albums.  © Wikipedia


George Duke had been fairly visible in the R&B world thanks to funk gems like "Reach for It" and "Dukey Stick" when he ventured to Rio to record "A Brazilian Love Affair," a superb date employing such greats as singers Flora Purim and Milton Nascimento and percussionist Airto Moreira. Although not the return to instrumental jazz some hoped it would be, this heartfelt effort does contain its share of jazz-influenced material. From a jazz standpoint, the LP's most noteworthy songs include Nascimento's "Cravo e Canela," the charming "Brazilian Sugar," "Love Reborn," and the exuberant "Up from the Sea It Arose and Ate Rio in One Swift Bite." Meanwhile, Nascimento's vocal on the ballad "Ao Que Vai Nascer" is a fine example of Brazilian pop at its most sensuous. But however one labels or categorizes this music, the album is clearly a labor of love from start to finish. © AllMusic Guide

PAYMENT


I accept


SHIPPING


This record will be wrapped in plastic, sealed, and placed between two thick, sturdy sheets of cardboard. On the outside I'll boldly write: HANDLE WITH CARE and KEEP OUT OF SUN. This brings the weight to 1 pound.  Consider these options for shipping:

    UNITED STATES Media Mail, 2-7 days, is $3.35; Parcel Post, 2-10 days, is $12.30; and Priority Mail, 2-3 days, is $13.30. The package will be sent immediately after receipt of payment.

    ALL OTHER COUNTRIES I don't ship outside the U.S. because of ebay's free insurance policy at the seller's cost which causes me to lose 2 month's profit in one claim.
