A landmark album by Marcos Valle, one of Brazil’s most celebrated artists, "Previsao do Tempo" (1973) is finally coming to vinyl in Japan for the first time as a Japanese edition LP with an obi strip—pressed on clear blue, 180g heavyweight vinyl.
Originally released in 1973, Marcos Valle’s masterpiece "Previsao do Tempo" is now getting its first-ever Japan LP release with an obi strip. Just like the cover suggests, it’s an irresistible classic where gently drifting guitar and electric piano fuse in a truly magical way, as if floating underwater. With original pressings now ultra-premium collector’s items, this analog reissue and Japan release is a major event. And the specs make it even more special: clear blue vinyl, plus an exceptional 180g heavyweight pressing despite being a color variant.
Artist Bio
Initially brought to prominence by the likes of Antônio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, and João Donato, by the mid-1960s, there was an emerging pool of youthful talent ready to make their voices heard. Marcos Valle and his lyricist brother Paulo Sergio were no exception. After signing to Odeon Records (a subsidiary of EMI) the pair penned a classic of the South American songbook, “Samba De Verão”—known in English as “So Nice (Summer Samba).” A musical trip to the United States in 1966, where the singer worked with Sergio Mendes and jazz giant Verve Records, provided even more inspiration. By the dawn of the 1970s, the multi-talented Valle was entering a new era, ready to test the government censors (Brazil was under strict military rule since a coup d’état in 1964) and express a socially aware stance and a playful hodge-podge of musical styles including samba, bossa nova, baião (a rhythmic beat from the rural northeast of Brazil), black American music, and rock.
