We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow.

We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

BLAZING PSYCHEDELIC TRIPPED-OUT 1969 UNDERGROUND LEGEND
"GAL"
GAL COSTA
\ BRAZIL - PHILIPS -6328499
TOP MINT still in factory cellophane wrapper for USA import purposes ...
This is a RARE 30 year old exact 2nd press of a truly flipped out tropical psych progressive led by one of the amazing voices from the underground in GAL COSTA....her second and best LP, recorded in 1969, one that may easily will evoke thoughts of a wild jungle woman swinging from tree to tree while blowing away Janis Joplin by an array of amazing octave voice flashes - colored 'round a tropical cosmic cocktail mix of psych, prog, jazz back beat hipster grooves...
This is an insane album that is more experimental than the Beatles’ psychedelic work while each song still retains a catchy pop flavor. This self-titled album was Gal Costa’s second effort and is commonly referred to as Cinema Olympia or 1969.
“Cinema Olympia” is also the first song on this album and it’s a catchy rocker that opens the program up with heavily distorted guitars reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix. In fact, many of the songs off '69 have blazing fuzz guitars that bludgeon and assault the listener’s ears. Only “Pas Tropical” has that typical folk bossa nova sound that is so often associated with the Tropicalia movement. And even this track is really good and is somewhat of a Tropicalia standard, notable for its pretty vocals and mellow atmosphere. The second song on side A, “Taureg,” is an outstanding track with eastern tones, exotic instruments and heavy vocal echo.
All songs on the album are completely unpredictable, always trying a new vocal style or production trick. Costa expands on the studio freedoms granted to fellow Brazilian music pioneers Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Milton Nascrimento. None of the above artists ever made anything this far out though, just listen to the cat screams that end “Meu Nome E Gal” or the funky, sexually charged psychedelia of “Empty Boat”.
The Velvet Underground’s first album gave us an experimental work that was stoic and full of wisdom but Gal Costa’s 69 is junky, trashy, and sleazy but still somehow full of depth and meaning. Costa’s vocals are wonderfully out of synch with conventional pop and this album is more whacked out than the U.S. and U.K.’s best groups.
