  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    We got enough interest from fans looking to buy Gods in Brasil on CD that we decided to make a limited run of mini LP style gatefold sleeve CDs.
    These are super quality and a direct facsimile of the LP cover, with the inside featuring what was supposed to be the insert for vinyl but the factory forgot to print it with all the pandemic issues.

    13 tracks including Follow Your Heart that is not on the vinyl edition.

    - on body graphics

    - custom clear case (original MiniDisc cases are no longer made!)
    - made in micro batches by specialist Japanese boffins (well English boffins, actually)

    This is the one you've all been waiting for, the Japanese format that Sony messed up by keeping proprietary just as MP3 was born to destroy the music industry.

    So dig out those Sony / Sharp DiscMan MD players and give them some digital love.


    Mastered especially for MiniDisc by Ricardo Garcia at Magic Master Rio de Janeiro. Ricardo was around the first time for MiniDisc!

    Free digital download of course comes with this physical product.

    Warning. This disc needs a MiniDisc player but it will also look cool on your living room shelf.

about

It's Copacabana beach, New Year's Eve 1972. Our hero has his VW Puma but the girl of his dreams doesn't show. Dreaming of what might be he becomes the Shakespeare of Avenida Atlantica.

lyrics

Driving in my car
I wonder where you are
The sun is going down
You’re nowhere to be found
In my Puma with the top down
I’m not gonna hang around
If you’re not gonna show
I’m gonna go with her now

Driving in my car
I wonder where you are
The sun is going down
You’re nowhere to be found
In my Puma with the top down
I’m not gonna hang around
If you’re not gonna show
I’m gonna go with her now

If you want to ride in my Puma girl
I’ll see you there in Prado Junior
I’ll take you for a ride in my Puma girl
I’m gonna show you now,
I’m not just a crooner

My friends tell me that your way out of reach
But tonight there’ll be
A party on the beach
You know it’s New Year’s Eve
The sun in shining down
In this purple Puma
We’re gonna paint this town

[bridge]

If you want to ride in my Puma girl
I’ll see you there in Prado Junior
I’ll take you for a ride in my Puma girl
I’m gonna show you now,
I’m not just a crooner

A Puma may not be
A Lamborghini girl
But you’re so sexy in
Your bikini girl
Tomight is new years eve
And tomorrow’s gonna be a brand new day
1973!

(Poem)

A cada arranque do possante
É mais um sonho de encontrar essa mulher esfuziante
E o champagne
A cada golhe
Me faz a sua lembrança esfumaçar
E eu acelero
Passando pela praia
O vento no meu rosto
Olho pelo meu retrovisor
Vejo a garota dos meus sonhos
A me chamar
Acelero o meu Puma
Que mais parece um Corcel
Um leão deixando rastros pelo chão
A cada esquina
À espreita ela está
Não consigo te encontrar
Mas o coração já está no para-choque pra chegar antes
A meia noite chega no compasso do meu peito com cada explosão
Dos fogos
de alegria no céu
Eu sinto como uma valsa entre o multidão
Eu, voce, nos dois
E o meu Puma 72
