Mike Blakesley said:The only thing I'm wondering about...since they changed the LOVE MUSIC artwork to be a little more contemporary-looking, why the #%$! didnt' they change the VINTAGE 74 cover, which is hands down the worst looking album in the Mendes catalog (except possibly MAGIC LADY)??
JMK said:...and "In Concert," which I have with no fewer than FOUR different covers!
Mike Blakesley said:I just think the VINTAGE cover is sorta "silly," because the picture was taken long before '74 and really has nothing to do with the music. I wish they'd have used that inside picture for the front cover. It really conveys the spirit of the album a lot better, for me anyway.
....but in this case-anything will help! Now maybe we can concentrate on the music and not that Godawful original cover!!!Mr Bill said:The CD reissue Love Music front cover actually looks like a slightly modified version of the back cover, eliminating the images of some of the musicians. I agree -- keep the covers faithful to the original release but fill the inside (booklet AND disc) with extras not seen the first time around....

Trevor said:...All the copies have that hiss from the "s" sounds.
Question for "Brasil Nut": Is that the Miss Karen Philipp for your pic? Where did you find that hipster pic of her? I still find Soap Opera Digest pics of her, but nothing that posed.
Trevor said:I am glad the releasing company didn't read the results of the poll on Love Music. I am very happy about Vintage 74 being released. All the copies have that hiss from the "s" sounds.

I have the Sergio Mendes Special (Japanese compilation album), and it doesn't have that hiss that Trevor was referring to. Neither does the Superstition 45 that I have. (I think I am the only one who really likes Sergio's version of Superstition.) And I totally agree with Jon (Hi, Jon, I love your picture of Karen), I think Bonnie's voice contributes to the hiss.

mr J. said:Talking about reissues... I heard sergio mendes' version of "This Masquerade" on an easy-listening station a few years ago-does anyone know which album it appeared on?.
mr J. said:it had a good bossa-nova arrangement,though not as jazzy as Karen Carpenter's version.(I assume Sergio heard it on Karen's NOW AND THEN album,and then recorded it sometime after 1973).Also,an honorable mention should be made of the track "Stillness" featuring Lani Hall.I heard that cut on the British 2-CD "Very Best of Brasil '66".Definitely one of the best Brasil '66 tracks.
