With the state of the music industry and CD titles disappearing faster and faster, I thought I'd do a check Amazon on what's in and what's out of print in the Sergio Mendes world.
Currently out of print:
STILLNESS
PAIS TROPICAL
PRIMAL ROOTS
LIVE AT EXPO '70
IN CONCERT (never been on CD)
HORIZONTE ABERTO (rarely in print)
CONFETTI
BRASIL '86
ARARA
OCEANO
These two seem to be available as mp3 downloads only:
SERGIO MENDES (1983)
BRASILEIRO
Of course some of these can be had as used in the marketplace or expensive imports if you can find them.
It's an interesting juxtaposition. About fifteen years ago when this board was in its early phase, the main early A&M stuff was nowhere to be found except a wonky FOOL ON THE HILL, and the later A&M stuff could be had from Japan at one time or another, or from a quick-in-print US copy (like Herb's FANDANGO). Back then, the Bell/Elektra stuff was unheard of on CD.
