A true labor of archival fetishism, this assembles 24 songs cut by the Pete Best Combo in the mid-'60s -- and even this doesn't include every last item from his "solo" career. The results are surprisingly American in feel for a Mersey group, with some saxophones and an echo-laden production.

ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM - THE MAN FROM IPANEMA
Jazz Heritage 1996
Disc 1. Vocals: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/GDyzMLYm/file.html
Disc 2. Instrumentals: http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/rPmyiaUw/file.html
Disc 3. Side By Side: http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/aoSHRowu/file.html
Booklet: http://www53.zippyshare.com/v/nJY98XUT/file.html
Musicians: http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-man-from-ipanema-mw0000175356/credits
Issued nearly a year after Jobim's death, this three-CD set is ground zero, the place to
start if you don't have any Jobim in your collection or for anyone who wants a single
package of his multifaceted art. The set encompasses not only Jobim's own sporadic work for
Verve from 1963 until his final 1994 Carnegie Hall concert and the two A&M albums of 1967
and 1970, but also sessions led by Stan Getz, Joao, and Astrud Gilberto in which Jobim
appeared as a sideman. Guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves, who selected the music for this set,
follows a unique game plan, devoting disc one to vocal renditions of Jobim's songs, disc two
to instrumental versions, and disc three to multiple comparisons of a few Jobim standards by
different performers. The selections are often adventurous, and the programming digs deeply
into Jobim's PolyGram catalog for such overlooked gems as the bossa waltz "Mojave," the sly
"Captain Bacardi," and the self-mocking "Chansong." For casual listening, discs one and two
flow beautifully, and even disc three works, for despite the repetition of tunes, the
approaches are varied enough to keep one's attention. Jobim collectors probably have almost
everything on the set anyway, as there are no unreleased tracks other than a humorous
uncredited rehearsal of "Aguas de Marco" tacked onto the end of "Vivo Sonhando." But they
are certain to be attracted by the unique packaging -- a double-spiraled fold-out book
containing lots of fascinating interviews and essays, and three discs wrapped in paper
cutouts environmentally designed to look like fish, flowers, and leaves. The CD era's most
imaginative graphics department has done it again. -- Allmusic
My father (if you've read any of my previous posts you've probably figured this out already)
had the magnificent "Getz / Gilberto" album recorded in 1963 and released in 1964. That
album was my first introduction to the music and piano of Antonio Carlos Jobim. I was 16
years old. Six years later I bought, with my own money, my first Jobim album, 1970's "Stone
Flower." I have never tired of Antonio Carlos Jobim and this compilation is a favorite. It
is fun and an education at the same time, especially side three. Astrud Gilberto has never
disappointed me with her interpretations of Jobim's music. And side two is an adventure in
different styles. My favorite? Aguas De Marco (Waters Of March) with Elis Regina.
(Surprisingly Art Garfunkel has a very good version of this song on his 1975 album
"Breakaway.") I suggest you download the booklet. It's a very small file with great gobs
of information. --JohnnyDiego

What a great site! I love all the oldies especially the country Number Ones. But I can't find the Number Ones from the 80's. Could you point me in the right direction please? Many thanks.

Hi Johnny D. I second every word about the amazing Jobim set. I bought it nearly 20 years ago when I was going through an eye-opening discovery of bossa nova as something far beyond "elevator" music. It's been one of my favorite genres ever since. All good wishes to you.
Iggy
Almost forgot...if you're looking for another fantastic bossa nova experience, listen to Sinatra and Jobim together on Reprise. The first album is great, but there's more on an album called "Sinatra and Company" that features an entire side of Bossa. Sinatra was quoted as saying that this singing was the most difficult of his career because he had to sing so softly. Well, he pulled it off and made one of his best albums, and that's saying quite a bit.
Iggy
@ referee1 the 1980s #1 country hits were posted on Jan 18 & 20
Thanks, iggy. Here's Sinatra and Jobim on Reprise Records 1967

"I haven't sung so soft since I had the laryngitis " Francis Sinatra
Thanks Grinch,for the Country #1 Hits. If the hits were from 1944 to 2014 that would be 70 and i only have 54 which means I'm short. I'd appreciate it very much if you could tell me the date when you started, so i could catch up.Thanks in advance. Jimmy of Macau
Hi Gyro1966, thank you so much for your northern soul shares, I have only recently got into it and theres so many great tunes and I'm sure I'll discover lots more as I go, how come other LPs/CDs are at 320 and northern soul rips are at 192?
cheers, D
@ Jimmy of Macau, The first post in the series was on January 15
These country charts were a true labor of love and a massive effort.
Thanks so much!
The Northern Soul rips that are 192 are not my rips. Anything that is not 320 is generally not my rips. But they are in my HD and I juts upload them. I have many of these actual CDs I own, and I've even shared them at 320 in the past.
Thanks for the northern soul expiring links.
cheers,Tel
In the early 60's, before The Beatles and puberty came along, I was into a few genres (like folk music) but was unexcited about a lot of "rock" (teen idol stuff, novelty stuff etc.). In some ways I was more interested in radio as a technical phenomenon.
The Girl From Impanema was one of the exceptions. I never got tired of it and have loved Bossa Nova ever since.
Thank You Johnny!
JohnyD, thanks for the Jobim.
I to am anonymous.
Thank you, Johnny D. Any Jobim is good music, but this 3 cd set is a very good overview. I also got the Sinatra-Jobim disc you posted but haven't had time to listen to it. However, I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
Ralph11
P.S. I'm curious, how huge is your record collection. I'm sure I don't have nearly as much as you do, but even then my wife thinks it takes up too much space.
Thank you Johnny D for the Sinatra-Jobim - I'm really enjoying it.
@ralph11
I have maybe 1500 CDs (nothing even approaching Gyro's collection.) I had several hundred vinyl records but about 7 years ago I gave them to a 15 year old kid who built his own hi-fi system. When I was in my 20s and 30s my friends never knew what records to play at my house. They had never heard any of it. Invariably they would either say, "You choose one" or they would pick out The Cars or Talking Heads or something like that. Steely Dan.
In the past few years the internet has become a treasure trove. I can pick and choose and hear almost anything. If I read an article that interests me, I can go to YouTube and hear it before I buy it.
And here is a site that I sometimes go to download LPs: It's called mp3va.com and you put money into an account then it's debited when you download an album. Check it out here: http://www.mp3va.com/
Music has dominated my life from my very first memories. TWILIGHTZONE! is fantastic because I never know what I'm going to find. One day it's girl groups the next it's Louis Jordan. Kinda like what my vinyl collection used to be like.
Thank you Johnny for Frank.
Thanks Grinch, for the information about the date. I've got them all now. Jimmy of Macau
Aha, OK Gyro1966 I see. I guess your 320 northern soul shares were before I found this wonderful blog :( thanks again for the shares :)
D
Señor Diego, Thanks for the Jobim comp. Together with João Gilberto, he was the architect of a lovely music form with a gloriously mellow vibe that can help sort out any difficulties we might confront.
Thanks Grinch for all these country hits. This was a collossal work and be sure we appeciate it. Thanks again.
LittleJack
