Love Punaany Bad — a tale of hard times in New York City, with a nice steelpan sample; and a badman Admiral Bailey.

Unmissable, eleven-minute version of this transcendent anthem; recorded at Columbia Studios, New York in 1977, for the as-yet-unreleased Natureza album, with Claus Ogerman at the helm.

The first time out for this buried treasure recorded in 1977 at Columbia Studios in New York with Claus Ogerman.
Featuring fellow Brazilians Mauricio Maestro, Nana Vasconcelos and Tutty Moreno, and in-demand statesiders including Michael Brecker, Joe Farrell and Buster Williams, it kicks off with a sensational eleven-minute version of her anthemic Feminina. Check out Descompassadamente, too. Lovely stuff.

Mono and stereo — with six from just before (the unreleased, jazzy My Love, a stripped-down She Is) and twelve with his still-earlier band The Bohemians. Sex, romance, mysticism… soul power. Exquisitely packaged.

Live in London, 1968.

Magnificent do-over of Dennis Brown’s classic Foot Of The Mountain. A TG Binns production from mid-seventies New York. Murder.

Trippy early-70s folk-jazz-soul from guitarist Ernie Calabria and singer Barbara Massey (back-up for Cat Stevens, amongst others)  — orchestrated by Deodato, with Keith Jarrett amongst the guests.
