I just acquired this record, YOUR NAVY PRESENTS - Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. These were radio shows that hawked recruitment into the armed services, hosted by nationally known DJ types, and featured the pop/rock stars of the day.
They were sent to radio stations on LP records, usually clocking in at around 15 minutes a side.
This is one I'd not encountered before and didn't know existed. It features Dick Clark as the host, and offers four or five tunes on each side of the disk.
This one, being from the '60s is in mono, but it's a weird mono. It almost sounds like the source recordings were stereo and they only grabbed the right channel. Typical A&M stereo of the day put the drums/percussion on the left, so most of these tracks sound odd with very little drums in the mix.
The tracks are all from the first three albums, yet Dick Clark refers to the group members and names Karen Philipp as one of the ladies. So it must have been recorded after LOOK AROUND but just before FOOL ON THE HILL.
The first song "Wave", seems to last longer than the versions I'm familiar with.
