Ryan K. Smith mastered it from the original analog tapes, and it was pressed at Optimal. The front of the jacket keeps the original stereo catalog number, V6-5053, and the runouts carry Smith's RKS initials alongside a Sterling stamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValle recorded the album in October and November 1967, and Verve issued it in March 1968. Eumir Deodato wrote the arrangements, and Anamaria Valle, then Marcos Valle's wife, sings with him across the record. Billboard reviewed it in its March 23, 1968 issue, and AllMusic's John Bush later called it one of the best Brazilian crossovers of the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe songs are English-language versions of material Valle wrote in Brazil, much of it with his brother Paulo Sergio Valle. \"So Nice (Summer Samba)\" is \"Samba de Verao\" in English; Walter Wanderley's instrumental recording of it reached the US Top 40 in 1966. \"Crickets Sing for Anamaria\" adapts \"Os Grilos,\" with English lyrics by Ray Gilbert, and Emma Bunton's cover of it reached No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Answer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrickets Sing For Anamaria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Nice (Summer Samba)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChup Chup, I Got Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf You Went Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePepino Beach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Told Me, She Told Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Time To Sing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatucada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Face I Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely In Your Arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199957015127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.15.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67505655414942,"sku":"EVP-3FA602DE-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/MarcosValle_Samba68_1LP-ProductShot.png?v=1791402744","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/marcos-valle-samba-68-verve-vault-series","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
