Little black samba record

img_1009.JPG

I think this may be Walter Wanderley’s first record.   On the Brazilian RGE Label.   “Festa Dancante”   Of course, my interest is in the amazing cover illustration (Signed F. Mosca).   I just love this kind of fifties, cheesecake pin-up girl and the little portable record player.     This is a rare one that I was happy to find.
