 |  | Almost, but not quite Brasil '65 |  |
While it would be nice to have Brasil '65 in CD format, this album is close enough to satisfy me. The only difference I detected was a minor change in phrasing in the song "So Nice."
December 13, 2007 | | Brazil'65 DIDN'T HAVE ANY HITS... | |
It is fair to say that the material contained on this album is pleasing enough to listen to,and maybe,in Brazil,these sides were local hits(although this is doubtful),but the fact of the matter remains that it was not until Mendes put together Brazil'66 and put out albums on the A & M label that he actually had hit records...To say the these are"greatest hits" is to be deliberately deceptive...These are early sides,recorded when Mendes and his band were local artists..Sure,they sound similiar to his later,hit sides,but,afterall,it was essentially the same band with the same personel...So if you actually remember any of these obscure sides,or if you are a Mendes completist,this is something that you will want to own,HOWEVER,if you are looking for the artist at his peak then fast-forward to BRAZIL'66,and there you will find the real"greatest hits"...

Very refreshing trip back in time -- still relevant and wonderful to listen to today. The sounds of Sergio and his group are timeless--"sooo nice".
November 15, 2006What a great CD. I love every cut. Everyone is aware of Brasil '66 but this Brasil '65 should not be overlooked.
October 4, 2006I was 15 when I discovered "Sergio Mendes & Brazil 65". I'd never heard of Sergio Mendes, but there was something about the cover that intrigued me. This was the beginning of a love afair with Brazilian music that has never faded over the years. I played the heck out of this record. I still have it, battered cover and all in my collection. After the dawn of CD's I often looked for it in record stores, but I never found it. What a jewel to discover here! (I only wish it had the original cover.) After 36 years it has lost none of its beauty and power.
