Pre-hype album

"I've owned the LP for ages. The LP is showing signs of its age, but the content makes this album one of my favorites. The addition of Wanda de Sah and Rosinha de Valenca to the excellent Sergio Mendes Trio makes for pure listening pleasure all the way through. Brasil '65 is (IMHO) better musically than Brasil '66 - why it wasn't as successful is beyond me."
What's wrong with everyone?

"No reviews for this great CD?? Sergio Mendes was one of the best-selling Brazilian artists of all time, and this album was his breakthrough smash. I like all the songs, but 'Let Me' and 'One Note Samba' are among my most favorites at the moment. This is a nice introduction to bossa nova style in the mid-to-late '60s. If you enjoy so-called 'easy listening' music (which this definitely is), then check it out. You won't be disappointed!"
