I was a bit surprised to see 'Sombossa' on a certain dealer's list at £150 - and that it was the first thing to be sold. Also surprised he didn't know about the second LP. Are these really that sought-after? Should I sell mine now and buy a small house?

Just got the 2nd LP in the post today.

Iknow the list you're talking about John (actually so does evryone probably) I emailed almost immediately to get the Lorez Alexandria From Broadway to Hollywood, too late though!! Anyone got a copy of this they want to part with??

I know that mark res sells stuff for people on tick (which is why some of theprices are high) and also sometimes he's about 3 times the normal 'value'.

[john stapleton]

very true - but sometimes he's cheap - like the 'Troppo' I missed on the last list

[sermad]

Yes sometimes he does have bargains and they are always gone. Which means I'm too slow...

Sombossa was £300 at Jazzman's a few years ago. Personally I think this one of the best bossa lp's around. Anybody heard the re-edit of Berimbau that's out now?

Was going for the same price exactly ten years ago! I think I may have a spare lying around somewhere, looking for good library swaps! (not break material, more keys & strings stuff)

..There's a nice Italian 45 off this lp, "Deixa Isso Pra La", but it's a different version than what's on the lp. More vocals and a heavier beat.
