OS ANOS DE BEATLEMANIA - VOLUMES 1 E 2 - VÁRIOS (1997) REPOST

I believe that Beatles songs are the most covered by other musicians and bands on the planet. Undoubtedly, in the 1960s and 1970s, they played a very important role in influencing the "Jovem Guarda" movement, as well as in Brazilian rock, which would soon emerge, having its peak in the 1980s.

In this post, the rescue is due to the versions and reinterpretations of Beatles songs. At that time Renato Barros was the greatest versionist of Beatles songs. There were also others, such as: Leno (Gileno), Lilian (Lilian Knapp), Paulo César Barros, Lisma Dantas, Antony Middelton, Fernando Adour, Carlos Wallace, Regina Correa, among others.

In 1997, three volumes of compilations of some songs recorded at the time of Jovem Guarda were released in Brazil by the CBS label, now Sony, with the Columbia label. The selection of repertoire and production was made by the great researcher and producer Marcelo Fróes.

Also noteworthy are the beautiful covers illustrated by Frederico Mendes. So we took the opportunity and posted a "2 in 1" disc, containing the songs from volumes 1 and 2, so that friends of the blog can enjoy them.

Below is the list of songs that are part of this series compiled by the CBS label:

Volume 1:

01. Sou tão feliz (Love me do) - Renato & Seus Blue Caps;

02. Do you want to know a secret - The Youngsters;

LAFAYETTE - OS GRANDES SUCESSOS DOS BEATLES (2022)

The musician and keyboardist Lafayette was born in March 1943 and died in March 2021. At the age of five he began his musical training at the National Conservatory of Music in Rio de Janeiro.

With the emergence of rock and roll, he joined the group “The Blue Jeans Rockers”, which was responsible for the first instrumental rock recorded in Brazil. Along with him in the song Here is the blue jeans rockers were the future Luizinho e Seus Dinamites, Luizinho (electric guitar) and Euclides (guitar).

Lafayette's keyboards contributed decisively to building the sound identity of the Jovem Guarda movement in Brazil. His presence is unmistakable in several classic songs by the movement's main idols, since his debut in the song Terror dos Namorados, from Erasmo Carlos' first album, released in May 1965.

He also plays the organ in the song Quero que tudo pro inferno, recorded by Brazilian singer Roberto Carlos, which marked the genre forever. A kind of 'trademark' of the Jovem Guarda.

Despite this, the keyboardist does not have due recognition, given the extent, quality and influence of his work, especially during the period of the Jovem Guarda movement.

He recorded numerous albums, with emphasis on the series called “Lafayette Presents His Successes”. This series reached dozens of issues in its heyday, from the late 1960s to 1970s.

Most of his albums remain unreleased, in digital format on Compact Disc-Cd, with only a few timid official compilations re-released, one of which only features hits and classics by singer Roberto Carlos. What was popular in the recent past has become cult in modern times.

In this post I pay tribute to Lafayette by presenting a compilation of Beatles greatest hits, organized by the blog LaPlayaMusic, never officially released.

The following is the list of songs that are part of the compilation of the post:

01.  Yesterday;
02.  Michelle;
03.  All my loving;
04.  You won’t see me;
05.  Day tripper;
06.  My sweet lord (George Harrison solo recording);
07.  Another day (Paul McCartney solo recording);
08. Mrs. Vandelbit(Paul McCartney solo recording).
