Mendes, Sergio & Brasil '66 - dto. ......................................
Sergio Mendes & Band (vocals, guitar, bass, piano, percussion, drums)............................
Aufnahmen 1966 in den Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles, USA............................
Produzent: Herb Alpert; Toningenieur: Bruce Botnick.......................................................................

1966 war alles noch etwas anders, vielleicht auch leichter? Die Musik, zumindest in der Unterhaltungsbranche, hatte einen lockeren Stil und vornehmlich den Zweck, den Hörer den Alltag vergessen zu lassen. Wenn Ihnen das nun bekannt vorkommt, ist das sicher kein Wunder, denn auch heute sehnt sich der gestreßte Mensch nach Entspannung. Deshalb ist eben auch die sogenannte Easy-Listening-Welle nach wie vor erfolgreich und Sergio Mendes’ LP mit dieser Besetzung markiert die Anfangszeit dieses Genres, bevor es zu Kitsch verkam! Der in den frühen 60er Jahren populäre Latinjazz spiegelt sich auch in dieser Platte wieder, so stammen einige Songs wie das berühmte „Mais Que Nada“ von Jorge Ben oder einige ebenfalls sehr bekannte Stücke aus der Feder von Carlos A. Jobim. Aber auch der Lennon/McCartney-Hit „Daytripper“ oder ein Mancini-Klassiker namens „Slow Hot Wind“ sind hier zu hören, weswegen diese von Herb Alpert produzierte Aufnahme eher auf Unterhaltung ausgerichtet ist. Bruce Botnick hat ein sehr atmosphärisches und warmes Klangbild geschaffen, das zweifellos weit über dem durchschnittlichen Niveau üblicher Latineinspielungen liegt. Nur einen Wermutstropfen besitzt diese LP: Sie ist leider viel zu kurz. Von dieser Art Animation könnte man wesentlich mehr vertragen!.........................

Im den 80er Jahren, produzierte die Firma Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab LP-Alben in aussergewönlicher Qalität . ...........

Es handelt sich hierbei um audiophile Raritäten und eine der bestklingendsten Schallplatten die jemals hergestellt wurden. Das original Masterband welches zur Produktion dieses audiophilen Highlights zur Verfügung stand, war von exquisiter Qualität. Was dann die Spezialisten von MFSL daraus machten kann man nur als sensationell bezeichnen. Nie wieder wurde vermutlich solch ein Aufwand zur Herstellung einer LP betrieben (was vor über 20 Jahren für einen horrenden Preis sorgte). Sorgfältigst mit der Halfspeed Schneidetechnik geschnitten und in 140 Gramm Japan Virgin Vinyl gepresst wurden weltweit nur etwa 50000 Exemplare hergestellt.
MFSL Schallplatten wurden aus einem besonderen Kunststoff, mit der Bezeichnung „Japan Vinyl“ hergestellt. „Japan Vinyl“ wurde unter der Verwendung von hoch polimerisierten Kunstharzen, mit einem hohen Anteil an Vinylacetat gefertigt. Die Eigenschaften dieses Werkstoffs sind eine enorme Elastizität, extreme Strapazierfähigkeit und ein exzellenter Signal-Rauschabstand (signal-to-noise-ratio). Der Frequenzgang ist so präzise, dass über einen Bereich von 20Hz – 20kHz, Abweichungen von nur +/- 0,5 dB auftreten.  ...........

The until-recently-defunct "Mobile Fidelity Labs" audiophile album vinyl pressings were not only analogue, audiophile masterpieces and connoisseur delights, they have become true pieces of audio history and lore. These majestic recordings received a meticulous and laborious treatment like no other recordings in the entire history of the recorded sound. They are characterized by the massively extended dynamic and frequency range, mastering from the very first generation of original master tapes, almost compulsive attention paid to the detail and integrity of the pressing, and the highest quality of the material (only the "virgin-", audiophile-grade vinyl was used, and most of the titles were pressed by RCA/Victor and/or Warner-Pioneer corporations of Japan, both known for their near-obsessive attention paid to the fine sonic detail and audio craftsmanship); a special proprietary  technology was used to achieve analogue-like, warm, translucent, radiant, vivid and all-encompassing sound. To this day, many of these recordings remain unsurpassed, delivering music reproduction as close to the actual recording session as possible, without any loss of musical information inherent in the standard practice of mastering from the inferior "production" copies.  EVER SINCE THE MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS TEMPORARILY CLOSED IN DECEMBER OF 1999 (ONLY TO REOPEN IN 2003), THESE RECORDINGS HAVE BEEN ESCALATING IN VALUE AND DEMAND.
