Ronnie Von was born in Niteroi (Rio de Janeiro) and he has a regular childhood as a meadle class boy. In the 60's he participate in TV talent shows singging Beatles' songs. After that, he recorded Lennon and McCartney's "You've got to hide your love away" and a portuguese version of "Girl", called "Meu Bem". He had another hits, like "Pequeno Príncipe", "A Praça" e "Escuta, meu bem". He has tham become a idol of youth, and hosted a popular TV show in 1966, named "O pequeno mundo de Ronnie Von". He was one of the main names of Jovem Guarda. (From: http://cogumelomoon6070cantores.blogspot.com/)With a totally psychadelic cover, where he appears without shirt, like a brazilian Joe D'Alessandro (Andy Wharol's movies actor), [this 68] album shows his great musical content. The arragements were made by the maestro Damiano Cozzela, who has a concretist formation, like the already famous Rogério Duprat, who had produced Os Mutantes, among others. The set list, thight and curious, comes with space rock pre-Pink Floyd, in songs like "Mil Novecentos e Além/Tristeza Num Dia Alegre", small pop symphonis, as "Espelhos Quebrados" (that reminds Eleanor Rugby), and garage-psychadelic beauties like "Silvia 20 Horas Domingo".
