Lula Cortes – Rosa De Sangue (180gr.)
£23.00
Re-issue of this monster rarity. Originally custom pressed in 1980, ‘Rosa de Sangue’ is the closing chapter of the amazing Recife psychedelic movement that flourished and centred around the work of Lula Côrtes, beginning in 1973 with the release of Satwa, and the creation of Abracadabra, Lula’s loose art/music/design collective.
The sound veers from crazed ethno folk-rock, to magical, gentle, jungle folk psych zones, to hard hitting, coke dusted fuzz rock, to insane mutant disco dance floor groove, to tweaked Americana, to acid vocal raga trance, and way beyond… …
At some point while the album was being recorded & pressed Lula signed a major label contact
which would produce 1981’s far tamer ‘O Gosto Novo da Vida’ LP.
When his new label got wind of Rosa de Sangue’s eminent release, they were displeased to say the least. As soon as the pressing was complete, the entire small edition was seized and destroyed, making this album by far Brazil’s rarest. So rare, in fact, that even among the most hardcore Brazilian collectors the original LP is often only rumoured to exist, often cited as “unreleased” a few copies did however survive.
