SERGIO MENDES & BRASIL '66 Fool On The Hill (Autographed 1968 UK first press 9-track LP on the A&M tan label, introducing the brilliant drummer Dom Um Romao to the fold, including fab versions of 'Scarborough Fair' [the Simon & Garfunkel arrangement], Edu Lobo's 'Casa Forte' & Lennon-McCartney's 'Fool On The Hill'. Comes housed in the original gatefold pocket sleeve, front laminated with internal flipbacks - The inside right panel is dedicated & signed by the great Brazilianlegend himself with a 'best regards' message next to his own full colour image. The signature is unhurried & unfaded, elegantly signed in dark brown marker pen, which blends nicely with the artwork. We are also including a near mint copy of the same cover. The vinyl is clean & in Excellent condition with minor evidence of play only. Obtained from the private collection of late British song arranger, Johnny Arthey, this collector's copy is rounded off nicely with a rare black & white publicity photo, which marked the then-new line-up of Sergio's group including the first appearance of his longtime wife Gracinha Leporace - only a small select handful of early review copies would have been sent out like this. A fantastic find! AMLS922)
