ReplyDeleteAlas, I have only the CD version. Corcovado- it is my favourite
Stan Getz- a legend
Another is Linda Ronstadt singing songs from south of the border.
Have a great evening SS. How I envy you!!
Stephen, mine is only the CD version too. I missed the chance to buy the vinyl record from Tower Record in Penang before it closed down.
