MP3 Music, April 12, 2017 'Please retry' $4.99. I've reviewed so many DVD's and CD's of Roberto Carlos - it would appear I'm dominating the field of critiquing his works on Amazon. I suspect this album was released in the 80's, and since then Roberto has lost his wife, mother and daughter and has written amazingly beautiful.

Thanks, Flab. After a two-month wait, my copy of this finally arrived from Brazil two days ago. Discobertas is doing such great work, rescuing and issuing obscure stuff like this. Their Gilberto Gil package is also amazing.

That said, this CD is almost identical to an MP3 collection posted about 5 years ago by some dedicated fan called Rare Tracks. It has an almost identical running order, and even the same cover image. Curriculum does have markedly better sound — pitch-corrected and in stereo on some songs that were mono on Rare Tracks — and it has four songs not on the Internet collection, which is great.

It's especially cool that they dug out the 1964 recording off the Sambacana LP. However, one of those four songs is the studio version of Copacabana Velha de Guerra from Joyce's second album, Encontro Marcado, which collectors will already have, whereas Rare Tracks has a completely different live version with an orchestral arrangement.

Also, for some reason, curriculum omits one of the songs from the 1971 Odeon compacto duplo, The Man From the Avenue (which fortunately is available on The Essential Joyce). Rukovodstvo po okraske v kamuflyazh voennoj tehniki. I don't mean to be geeky here, but I guess what I'm saying is that, as good as it is, Curriculum is maddeningly short of being complete by a hair. Mind you, Joyce is so prolific, it wouldn't surprise me if there were other unknown recordings still out there. And it wouldn't be hard to do a Volume 2 with her later material, that's for sure.
