Noriel Vilela - 16 Toneladas Tame Me Back to Piaui - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

The sensational comeback album of the Swedish metal legend.The band already the band attained an unbroken cult status in the Hard'n'Heavy scene in no time with their self-titled debut in 1983.Robb Flynn of Machine Head, for example, said the first song they ever played live was a Torch song. And Snowy Shaw of King Diamond said that he named his first band after a song by Torch.Faster, heavier and louder! That was the motto under which Torch started as a young band. And even 36 years after the last regular album nothing has changed in that attitude.The new songs, created with the help of Grammy nominated producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, U.D.O., Pretty Maids...), combine Torch's old school metal feeling with a powerful, contemporary sound.Four of the five founding members from the original line-up are still involved today.

We've taken a selection of the most in-demand and asked-for titles in our Brazil 45's catalogue and given them a loving remaster and repress. The late composer, arranger, musician and record producer Nonato Buzar is a lesser-known great outside of Brazil. His legacy leaves behind a rich body of recordings, working with some of the cream of the Brazilian '60s and '70s music scene, including Evinha, Elis Regina, Wilson Das Neves as well as reggae legend Jimmy Cliff. The awesome organ driven dancer 'Cafuá', with it's zesty horns and sun-soaked vocal tones, is taken from Nonato & Seu Conjunto's 1975 'O Som E O Balanço de Nonato' album on Som records.Most famed for his ultra rare 1973 track 'Lotus 72 D', which Mr Bongo reissued in 2019, José Roberto aka Zé Roberto's other 7 inch from the following year, also held a gem within it's B side grooves. 'Crioula Multicolorida', though not as scarce as 'Lotus 72 D', is still a super hard record to track down and is equally as great. This anthemic 'samba rock' pearler, with it's amazing breakdown and strutting groove, has long been a favourite amongst Brazilian DJs and collectors. The track also featured on the influential 'Via Brazil' compilation series and 'Brazilian Beats Brooklyn' collection on Mr Bongo.
