I've never found this single from an unreleased album anywhere, and until just a couple of years ago, had never heard either track. Somewhere in 2010 - it might have been here - someone posted a link to "California Soul" as a 128 kbps mp3. As that was all that was available, I seem to have downloaded it and still have it on my hard drive.
Looking around today, I see that the song "California Soul" was released on a BOSSA JAZZ compilation on CD:
...and someone has dutifully uploaded that track to YouTube.
It's nice and clean and mono.
But wait a minute --- that old MP3 file I have on my disc - it's in stereo. How'd that happen?
The pictures on the net of the single:
...all seem to look like they'd be in mono.
It just got me to wondering where in the world the stereo version came from. And I'd sure love to at least hear "Berimbau" too.
