If you're not already familiar with Sabadabada.com, you should be. It's a Brazilian music collector's website devoted to bossa nova, balanco, and samba records of the 1960s, showcasing their beautiful cover art work as well as MP3 files of the music itself.

There are occasional updates like this one that keep me going back for more:

As promised, I posted up some classic bossa LPs this time. The Mario Telles is a very rare album orchestrated by the legendary Moacir Santos ("Coisas"), and contains the very first recording of "Nana;" Mario Telles and Moacir Santos are given dual writing credit on the song and this is the only LP Telles (Sylvia Telles' brother) ever recorded. The "Brasil Bossa Nova" LP is one of the finest of the Nilo Sergio Nilser label releases. Unfortunately, there are no musician credits on the Nilser LPs, but it contains some beautiful renditions of the most beloved brazilian standards done in an interesting two-song medley format. The two Odeon releases illustrate why Odeon was considered one of the premier bossa nova labels of the period, bosting some of bossa nova's most talented arrangers and musicians. "Uma Rosa Com Bossa" and "Alegria Alegria Vol. 3" are both produced by Milton Miranda with orchestrations by Lyrio Panicali and Meirelles and showcase two of Brazil's greatest bossa vocalists. Wilson Simonal's opening number is pure, white-hot Wilson!
