Description
———————————————————————

"Yes, it’s true, when that psychedelic breeze of freedom blew around the world in the late ’60s, of course it hit Brazil hard despite the increasingly truculent nature of the military dictatorship, and there were FAR more records released reflecting this fact than those by the half-dozen or so Tropicalia artists we all know and love. For starters, none of the 15 artists here were participants in that celebrated movement, although this album will undoubtedly get filed under "Tropicalia" in stores and your collection/playlist. For sure, the precedent set by Caetano/Gil/Gal/Mutantes et al. provided a context for these deliciously freaky nuggets, particularly from the record labels’ viewpoint. But really, these artists were mostly freaks chomping at the bit to answer the wild records flowing in from the West Coast and London. As the liner notes stress, tracks like those by Ton & Sergio, the Youngsters, Serguei and Banda De 7 Leguas barely got past the promo-copy stage, and we should be thankful they at least got that far. "Lindo Sonho Delirante" (Beautiful Delirious Dream) by then-pretty-boy-heartthrob Fabio is a standout, and God only knows how he got away with it in 1968! "God Save the Queen" by 14 Bis predates the Sex Pistols and will blow your mind; too bad the CD couldn’t come with a tab of acid, as it would really be appropriate. Copious notes and a mini-doc on the enhanced CD add context where available, since many of these artists are frighteningly obscure even (or especially) in their homeland. (Although one artist here, Marisa Rossi, happens to be the mom of an old friend of mine!!) Mutantes fans, prepare to be knocked sideways. You’ve been waiting for this album! "Recommended" doesn’t even begin to describe it…."required" is more like it. [GC]" –Other Music

"Following the success of the recently released Psych Funk 101, Brazilian Guitar Fuzz Bananas should serve as a master class for those entranced by the funky, heavy psychedelic wonders of the Tropicalia movement and all that it spawned. But as compiler Joel Stones writes in his liner notes: ‘You won’t find Os Mutantes or their maestro Rogerio Duprat on this compilation. There is a reason that the records contained here have never been reissued. Even though you will recognize some of the labels contained here… believe me when I write this: some of the rarest, and best, examples of fuzzy, funky Brazilian psychedelia came out as promo-only 7" records on these labels.’ Each song contained on this album has never been reissued, and has been restored from the best source possible and remastered for near-perfect sound quality. The 48 page full color booklet contains a wealth of imagery and detailed annotation and liner notes in both English and Portuguese." –Label
