Immerse yourself in the definitive mid-century lounge sound with this original vintage pressing of Fool on the Hill by Sergio Mendes & Brasil \'66 (A&M Records, SPX 4160).
Released in 1968, this essential bossa nova masterpiece seamlessly blends rich Brazilian rhythms, sophisticated jazz arrangements, and sunshine pop vocal harmony. Driven by Mendes\' brilliant keyboards and anchored by stunning vocal leads, the album is famously anchored by its iconic, transformative bossa cover of The Beatles\' title track alongside a hauntingly beautiful rendition of \"Scarborough Fair.\"
This classic 295-gram vinyl release comes housed in its original gorgeous gatefold jacket design. The front features the iconic image of the band assembled around a large wooden throne on a sweeping desert landscape, while the interior panels unfold to reveal bright, stylized individual performance photos and a full credit breakdown. The record face features A&M\'s signature classic ochre/mustard-yellow center label styling.
Track List:
Side One: Fool On The Hill, Festa, Casa Forte, Canto Triste, Upa, Neguinho
Side Two: Lapinha, Scarborough Fair, When Summer Turns To Snow, Laia Ladaia (Reza)
Condition Notes:
Vinyl Disc: The vinyl holds a beautiful, strong surface gloss across both sides. When angled under bright lighting, the playing surfaces look very clean, showing only standard light cosmetic paper storage wisps and minimal faint handling marks that do not impact playback. The mustard-yellow A&M center labels are clean and crisp.
Gatefold Jacket: Structurally solid and completely intact along the spine and interior fold lines. The exterior cover showcases warm, vibrant colors but exhibits classic vintage shelf wear, including visible corner softening, typical edge rubbing, and minor paper wear near the entry slot. A vintage hype sticker highlighting the hit singles is affixed to the back cover.
Inner Sleeve: Includes a classic plain cream/off-white paper inner storage sleeve.
