There must be hundreds of covers of Aquarela Do Brasil / Brazil, but Enoch Lightā€™s is my all time favourite - worth it for the tambourine solo alone.

Nice Roger Dean cover art if Iā€™m not mistaken, my hero at Art School, met him once over the garden fence when he was visiting our next door neighbour. He did all the Yes covers in the 70ā€™sā€¦

Edit: Iā€™m such a dumbass, itā€™s Phillip Castle not Rogerā€¦ not sure how I mixed them up.

SO good, love the Osibisa one too. A proper visionary. I think I even have a Motown one by him

Love this! Rest of the LP is suprisingly pleasant and cheap as chips, an instant Discogs wishlist addition.

I had a listen, itā€™s right up your street Simon!

Nice set starter this! Thanks

Someone recommended this album on another thread (canā€™t find it ATM), the whole album is :fire: and the Carly Simon - Why cover is really lovely. Out today.

shameless perhaps, but I just made a blend style mix of Jamaican inspired cover versions featuring dub/reggae/rocksteady covers of songs by Kraftwerk, Nirvana, Underworld, Happy Mondays and more. Lots of Japanese 7"s included here. Perfect for a hot, lazy day.
