1988 Summer Olympics Album One Moment In Time- #489

Various

1988 Arista 1/1/88

Cut Out.  A compilation of all types of music, supposedly with a theme of the Olympics but no real musical theme here.  Some of every color but no continuity.  No wonder this was a cut out.

African Tribal Music & Dances  - #10

1993 Laserlight 1/1/93

Not your everyday pop music.  It is mostly anthropological, bought for use with the Sphinxes Without Secrets display.  Yet a interesting cultural curiosity.  I like it to listen to in snippets

Belize Tropical Brazil Classics 1- #125

1989 Fly/Sire 1/1/89

David Burn collected this music, the first of 3.  I bought the first two, this one is the first and the best collection.  "Calice" is the best of many very good Brazilian songs,   I wish I knew more about the political movement in the 60's and 70's

Brasil - #91

Various

1984 Philips

A good sampling of Brazilian music.  I was with Helton in 1986 in Brazil and remember the place that he bought it.  The Brazilian currency was at a low so it was extremely expensive in Brazilian terms, but also it was extremely expensive in American Dollar Terms, like equal to $50.00 when you could buy a taxi ride around the city of Belo Horizonte for $5.00.

Brazil Classics 2 - O Samba - #127
