I recently found a copy of this great album in Japan. It does look like a vintage pressing but its not the gatefold issue that I have seen before. Same issue number but comes in a simple jacket. It doesnt look like a bootleg or recent repress... Are you aware of any later pressing of this album??Cheers!

He's a classically trained musician who found out about the high prices paid for Brazilian stuff in Europe and Japan back in the early 90s. He started bringing stuff over to Paris and London to sell, and then got in to bootlegging stuff in London like Azymuth (Som Livre), Trio Mocoto (RGE) and various other stuff. Proper malandro geezer....
This is the dude that did all those shitty boots?
One of the Tim Maia Polydor ones is the wrong record.
I think he was also responsible for the Marcos Valle, seem to remember a Orlandivo (70s Copacabana) boot as well. He did a fair view, including some bossa albums as well. Most of them were badly pressed, but this is pre ebay days and people were desperate for the records (originals were changing hands for big bucks).
That's ridiculous. As I recall that boot (like many in that series) is just a straight burn of a marginal condition OG.
