Track B1 vocalist, credited on cover as Gracinha Leporael, is in fact Gracinha Leporace (who later married Mr. Mendes)
Interesting...in the NOTES here it says the singer should be: Gracinha Leporace instead of Gracinha Leporael. That same error was reprinted on the 1986 A&M CD release.
I just heard that a US record store back in the 1960s refused to stock this album, as they claim it's in "bad taste graphically" in respect of the inside images. Does anyone know what the problem was?
Added first-pressing from Columbia Records' Pitman, NJ plant. (Second-pressings from Pitman had the cat. # shown on the label as SPX 4160, with the same type as here; later pressings from the plant ditched their own fonts in favor of those from their sister plant in Santa Maria, CA as seen on {Images #509872 & 509874}.)
