A pure vintage that features the ultimate Brazilian-boogie cult-classic ‘\u003cstrong\u003eEstrelar\u003c\/strong\u003e’ and iconic 80s cover art that sees a gloriously sun-drenched Marcos dressed in a pink v-neck t-shirt surrounded by a generous selection of deadly-looking neon cocktails.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eThe album was produced by the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eLincoln Olivetti\u003c\/strong\u003e and Marcos' brother Paulo Sérgio Valle. It showcases a real who's who of Brazilian music at the time, with stellar performances from vocalists and musicians such as \u003cstrong\u003eRosana\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSerginho Do Trombone\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRobson Jorge\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOberdan Magalhães\u003c\/strong\u003e to name but a few. This was Marcos’ second album, after having moved back to Brazil from his time living in Los Angeles, and that US influence is evident through its prominent \u003cstrong\u003eboogie\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esoul\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e sounds. It also features collaborations with the US singer-songwriter, composer, pianist, keyboardist, and record producer, \u003cstrong\u003eLeon Ware\u003c\/strong\u003e, who co-penned three tracks including 'Estrelar'. To complete the album there are tracks such as '\u003cstrong\u003eFogo Do Sol\u003c\/strong\u003e', which is pure \u003cstrong\u003eAOR\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eBalaeric\u003c\/strong\u003e vibes, and tracks that are more \u003cstrong\u003eMPB\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epop-inspired\u003c\/strong\u003e, making a well-balanced track list for both home-listening pleasure and dancefloor business. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eWhat could we do to give one of Marcos' most celebrated albums the treatment it deserved and produce the most definitive re-issue possible? The answer was to enlist the services of \u003cstrong\u003eMiles Showell\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAbbey Road Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e Mastering and lacquer-cutting engineer and all-around audio-magician, to cut a special half-speed master edition. Miles had previously worked his half-speed magic on our Arthur Verocai album re-issue, and once again we are totally blown away by the richness which Miles has brought out in his mastering technique.
