*The Sound of Music OST (1965)*

Endearing original motion picture soundtrack for the 1965's classic The Sound of Music. It was released by RCA VICTOR in several countries, and this is the portuguese version that was issued by TELECTRA - Empresa técnica de Equipamentos eléctricos, a label that issued many RCA VICTOR records during the 70's in Portugal. This was a gift from dear friends since I'm a fan of the movie.

RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN'S THE SOUND OF MUSIC OST format: VYNIL



"Original motion picture soundtrack of the spectacular Robert Wise's production". It remains one of the most popular soundtracks and it has sold more than 20million copies worldwide.In 2018, it was added to the library of congress due to its historic and cultural significance. 

Some cool trivia:

- Between shooting, Dame Julie Andrews used to sing "Supercalifragilisticexpialiadoucious" to the children of the cast, and since Mary Poppins was yet to be released, the children thought that it was a song Julie Andrews had made up. 

- In the "I have confidence" scene, Maria trips, this was actually an accident but Robert Wise liked it so much, he decided to keep it because it encapsulated the nervousness of the character and the general vibe of that scene. 

- Dame Julie Andrews actually had to learn to play guitar for the role. 

- Julie Andrews's favourite song from this movie is Edelweiss.

*Aesop Rock - Labor days*

  Beautiful and abstract poetry from MC Aesop Rock in an assorted collection of complex and melodic beats. Stories are told and magnified by the spotless MC'S style of delivery, especially in themes like "No Regrets", a story about Lucy, an artist that embodies the spirit of individuality of doing what you really want and love and the anthem 9-5 er's about work and aspirations. It shapes and expands the border of hip-hop, an essential work of astract and conscious hip-hop. 

*Tiago Guillul - V*

  Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop. 

*Roberta Kelly - Trouble maker*

 Very groovy and danceable hit Trouble-Maker by singer Roberta Kelly. The track was written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Belotte. It reached and gained enormous popularity when it was released in 1976. The second song is The Family, a more mellow disco sound with some catchy and funky bass lines and harmonious backup instrumentals. Roberta Kelly also did backup vocals for Thelma Houston and Donna Summer.
