I put a spell on you

I framed a bunch of 10″ covers from my collection.   Here’s the first of a few I pulled for you.   Again on the Sinter label from Brazil in the 1950’s.   “Melodias de Terreiro”   Pontos E Rituais.   Pretty cool.

Black witchcraft

“Macumba” on the Brazilian Sinter label. This is one of the most amazing covers. A real voodoo ritual complete with the rooster blood letting, the live snake, the priestess and her pipe and most disturbingly the man in a trance licking the blood from his hand. I’m spooked to even be writing about it. Curses!
