Sure, Rudy, we can open up the poll a bit. The entry would then be "Gilberto With Turrentine" (1971) -- her first CTi LP. Thank you!@JOv2 What about the album with Stanley Turrentine? I can add that into the poll if you want...
I recall discussing this elsewhere, but I had the same issues. I went through 2 CDs and gave up. About a year ago I bought a VG++ LP stamped VAN GELDER (wanting my best to ensure a '60s issue) -- and Whammo! No distortion. The usual VAN GELDERisms aside, at least it's listenable.I ordered THE ASTRUD GILBERTO ALBUM again, this time a Japanese SHM-CD figuring they would be more careful in their mastering. No luck. Same noises, same gritty recordings, so I concluded that the masters must be damaged or bad from the outset.

That may be why I like the Turrentine album--it is more forward-looking and leaves behind the Bossa Nova.The Astrud Gilberto Album and the album with Walter Wanderley were my picks. For her latter recordings it seemed like she couldn't decide on what genre to focus on as Bossa waned in popularity as the 60's ended.
(Consider giving Lugar Bonita a spin -- a fine closure.)With this and the Turrentine record, I'm good
