My podcast interview with Matthew Africa about his decision to purge from his collection: http://wp.me/p1klrs-Ch
just saw the verocai on eBay
:face_melt:
was going to post about it but did a search...
great thread... much knowledge being dropped about the verocai that I was unaware of
I still believe one day i'm going to find a verocai in the field and pay 5 reais for it... sigh...

nice listen. i was hoping you'd ask him about his decision to purge the Verocai. for me personally that's one i could never let go of.

Maru, it's a fantastic album, one I probably revisit as frequently as any other record I own.
It's not something I was eager to part with but I believed I would get more value from selling it than I would gripping it. Someone is going to pay a lot for the record at auction and its marquee value is driving a lot of traffic to the other items that Cavern is selling for me. I think it will add up.
Moreover, as nice as that copy is, I was honestly a little shook to pull it off the shelf regularly and risk messing it up so it's not like I got a lot of active enjoyment out of owning a minty original.
I'll continue to enjoy the music and let someone else enjoy the collectible.

Two turds are better then one.
But that Verocai... and you even managed to keep the shrink on it and never crack the gatefold, your a better man then I.

good points, and i'm not calling you crazy by any means. i just know that i could never sell my copy, but maybe that'll change as time goes on.

I would have had to crack it open to look at those studio photo's...LOL!
I'm still not totally convinced about the Continental gatefold releases originally coming out with shrink wraps. Could it not have been done at a later date perhaps!!!
I've had three copies of Verocai pass through my hands, all of them mint, also a few other Continental titles with gatefold sleeves that never had shrink coverings (all picked up in Brazil itself).
All the other labels that released stuff in the 60s & 70s in single, or gatefold sleeves, also appear to not have done shrink wrap sleeves!
Odeon had their albums, and some of their compacto singles wrapped in a thick sealed plastic covering, but like most U.K. label releases shrink wrapped sleeves were not generally part of the culture for record companies in Brazil (though some of them may have shrink wrapped records that were destined for export only perhaps). There was in the 80s labels like Som Da Gente and Warner that had started to put shrink on their sleeve jackets. It seems highly unlikely that in all those multitude of records (especially radio station copies) that have ended up in peoples collection around the world from the 60s & 70s, that none of them would have escaped not still having some of the shrink intact on the record sleeve!
It could also be simply that the general public in Brazil always tore off the shrink covers, never regarding that it helps keep the records in better condition in the long run!!!

imagine your max bid of 3000$ gets beat
then the dude at 3750$ is still shitting bricks
let's just say matthew's strategy worked
spelunked
Yeah, I'm not sure I wanna know how much it finishes at now!
It's at a price that even I, and a friend who I sold a copy to, might be tempted to sell in the future!!!
I thought it would sell for between $2500 - $3000, but now $4000 or more looks likely...

I would almost guarantee that it was, perhaps by a distributor or department store. Shrink wrapping in humid climates in the days before air conditioning was commonplace would have been a bad idea as it would just encourage mold.
I've been collecting Brazilian records for years now and the only ones I've seen in shrink were ones that were exported. I don't think I've ever seen one in shrink for sale on ebay from Brazil.
