Format:Audio CD
This album is an excellent introduction to the utterly fresh melodies of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. The atmosphere is light and summery, the feeling is sun-drenched and somewhere between sweet lovelorn melancholy and joyful knowing delight. Rock music it ain't, but that's no bad thing in itself! This music is perfect morning music, there is such a feeling of optimism and delight at the world.
This collection features songs from some of Mendes' best albums (especially "Equinox", a personal favourite), with "Mais Que Nada" probably best known in the UK through its use in an advert a few years back. There are also a large selection of their covers, such as "Scarborough Fair" and "With A Little Help From My Friends" which while helpful in introducing the band to strangers, probably skew things too heavily towards non-orginals (does there really have to be FOUR Beatles covers?). Especially when they could write songs of the magic of "Night and Day"!
All the same, if you require an introduction to the magical world of Mr Mendes, you could do far worse than pick this up. Treat yourself.

Great CD & Really a Greatest Hits Collection!
20 Aug 2006
Format:Audio CD
There seem to be a lot of greatest hits collection of Sergio Mendes that frankly aren't ... but this qualifies. If you love old school 60's bossa nova-fun trip hop-easy listening and sunny pop, this is a great collection - these are really their greatest hits ... though the 2-disc "Very Best of Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 [IMPORT]" (also from Amazon) also contains all these tracks plus another 20 or more tracks so if you love Sergio, that is an even better deal!

exceeded expectations
1 Aug 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Was scouring these pages looking a Sergio compilation that included old favs - Fool on the Hill, Scarborough Fair, Look of Love but stayed close to the same era. Lo & behold discovered this cute little set(love the cigar box cover art) which not only included the aforementioned but another 13 classy, jazzy, breezy, cool cuts. Interpretive prowess meant that songs like Norwegian Wood, With a little help from my friends & Night and day became Brasil 66 classics, although I have to smile everytime I hear the "intended" flat notes in Shop Around (and to think that Herb Albert may have been watching on ). Package is sparse (eco friendly), but then again I didn't need a Byrds-Johnny Rogan type booklet - just that music. Truly satisfied with this Best of.
