That would be The proverbial $64,000 Question. It would be very nice but as I think Harry hinted That album along with countless other A&M classics were Almost certainly lost in that Nasty Universal Fire back in 2008 so unless we see otherwise I wouldn't hold your breath.Does anybody think we'll ever get a digital version of "Herb Alpert Presents Pete Jolly"?

Still hard to believe there's been no "confirmed" inventory loss. The Wikipedia entry states extreme polar-opposite positions (kinda like today's political parties ) regarding any sort of accounting...After the Universal barbecue in the late 2000s, it's a gamble as to whether the tapes even exist anymore. I highly doubt it. If it's not Herb's or Lani's recording, I'm considering everything else from A&M went up in smoke.
Here is the late great Sylvia Telles version of Dindi. Sylvia had the perfect voice for Bossa Nova--subtle and not overpowering. My favorite Brazilian Bossa singer. The video's picture is a classic. Sylvia in the middle surrounded by Jobim and Marcos Valle and the four Quarteto em Cy gals on either end. All Bossa Nova legends.
I guess their position is... as long as it's not in writing, it never happened. And as long as the press isn't hounding us, there's no pressure to present anything in writing.Still hard to believe there's been no "confirmed" inventory loss. The Wikipedia entry states extreme polar-opposite positions (kinda like today's political parties ) regarding any sort of accounting...
Apparently, Universal is not required to present any documentation (as authenticated by a 3rd-party auditing or conformance party) as to the extent of the actual physical damage; yet, clearly Universal knows the full magnitude of the loss of their holdings.
So sad... from Wikipedia:THIS is what I'm talking about! All she had to do was sing "céu, tão grande é o céu" and I knew this was great
In December 1966, just a short while after Telles had recorded ["Dindi"] with the guitarist Rosinha de Valença, she was killed in a road accident in Rio de Janeiro.
She also did several tribute albums to Antonio Carlos Jobim. One of the most famous classic bossa nova songs was written for her by Jobim, its namesake her nickname - "Dindi".
It will probably never happen...disclosure would lead to litigation that would probably break the company.Still hard to believe there's been no "confirmed" inventory loss.

Cuyler--I'm glad you like Sylvia's version of "Dindi" in Portuguese. Here is Sylvia singing splendidly in Portuguese--"Samba Torto"(Pardon My English) and "One Note Samba" from her last concert in November 1966--one month later she had her fatal accident. I have her last album "The Face I Love" from 1966. For someone who loves Brazilian music it's extraordinary. Most of the songs are written by the Brazilian masters such as Jobim, Valle and Menescal. The amazing thing is that she sings most of the songs in English incredibly well with amazingly no foreign accent! With her mastery of the English language she was planning on touring the USA to promote "The Face I Love" album. But right before 1967 arrived she was gone at only age 32. She had only a 10 year musical career but oh what a legacy she left.THIS is what I'm talking about! All she had to do was sing "céu, tão grande é o céu" and I knew this was great
Thanks for sharing! I see Astrud Gilberto also sang this song. I think I'd like her version as well, given it's in Portuguese. (But Astrud did a great job on other English versions of Brazilian songs, so I wouldn't doubt she'd nail it in English too.)
Torto like Spanish "tuerto" (cross-eyed)?"Samba Torto"(Pardon My English)
This is fascinating... she was the same age as Karen (Carpenter) when she passed...But right before 1967 arrived she was gone at only age 32.
