This was not the first album that I had bought by Brasil'66. That honor went to Look Around but Fool On The Hill became my next target. I do not remember if it was the third or fourth that I bought. It had a higher price tag but was well worth it.I've decided to continue on with some selected entries from 4151 through at least 4200 in our Classic AOTW series, since some of these classic albums have no AOTW representation in our current database. This will give everyone an opportunity to weigh in on some seminal A&M albums from the period. Up first is 4160, FOOL ON THE HILL by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66.

I do not believe that this album was ever available in monaural format.
I saw that post after I posted my notes. I have never seen a mono of it.Read my post above. It did get a mono promotional release.
Now that's a Beautiful mono release
I was a late comer to this album, but it has grown on me the past few years. My favorite track is probably most others' least favorite, and that's "Canto Triste". There's just something about Lani's vocals that just grabbed me. I love the melody of the song, and for some reason I've always felt it belonged in a James Bond movie. Other faves include "Festa" and "Laia Ladaia". I also enjoy the layout of the gatefold cover!
If I see it in a thrift store or used record shop I will have to pick it up just to have the mono copy. I do have both covers of the stereo version with the back cover sticker and without on several copies that I have picked up in used record stores. I have picked up extra lp copies when they were all out of print before the CD releases. I have even gotten an extra copy of each of the first six on CD in case they go out of print.Now that's a Beautiful mono release
I was looking through my lp's and saw that I have a mono of the first album but not Equinox or Look Around. I am going to have to look for them as well. When I bought my original copies of the latter two, I never saw them in mono at the stores. All were in Stereo.Now that's a Beautiful mono release
They are very rare and Very hard to find these days but best of luck to you in your search for That Elusive "Mono Gold".I was looking through my lp's and saw that I have a mono of the first album but not Equinox or Look Around.

You should add the cover from the first album. Think of all that green against the white!
