Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 – Masquerade (2x Vinyl LP, 1980, Pickwick PTP-2101, US Compilation, Gatefold)

Why This Record Matters
Masquerade is a 1980 double-LP compilation drawing from Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66 recordings originally released on the 1969 albums Crystal Illusions and Ye-Me-Lê. The program includes interpretations of “Wichita Lineman,” “Norwegian Wood,” “(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay,” and “What The World Needs Now,” as well as Brazilian material. The collection highlights the group's blend of bossa nova and jazz-inflected pop.

Collector Note
This US Pickwick PTP-2101 compilation was issued in 1980 as a two-record gatefold set. Sides B and C reproduce the Crystal Illusions program, while Sides A and D draw from Ye-Me-Lê, and this copy includes both confirmed original Pickwick inner sleeves.
