DI MELO Brazil funk soul holy grail! LP

Di Melo - Di Melo Odeon Brazil 1975 SMOFB 3883
One of the holy grails of Brazilian samba funk / soul from the 1970's, the only album by the mysterious Di Melo.  If you are looking to buy one original album from Brazil's seventies black funk age, this should be the one. The album contains nothing but good songs but a couple of tunes are among the standout tunes of the era.  Di Melo himself is still around and he still plays music these days but this rare album is his most precious gift to the world.
This is my personal copy and I'm a bit hesitant to sell because at the time I spent two years looking for a copy... but need to make some room on the shelves :) Apparently some collectors have this album with a lyrics inlay, this copy doesn't have one.
A side Kilario A vida em seus metodos diz calma Aceito tudo Conformopolis Ma-lida Sementes
B side Pernalonga Minha estrela Se o mundo acabasse em mel Alma gêmea João Indecisão

Grading: Vinyl: VG plays very well! Occasional mild crackle/static, check out the snippets. A visible surface scratch on side A and a few light clicks in 'Ma-Lida'.
