Picked this up with the Vintage 74 album. Ha - I guess this is the album that sees Mendes turn funk. Has some really good grooves, especially the A side instrumental closer 'Shakara'. All the same, Mendes is a pop artist professional so he's not going to let things get out of hand... unfortunately. Plenty of Easy Listening and light Bossa Nova as well. The lady at the counter (she likes to comment on the album covers apparently) really got a kick out of the steaming oven on the back. Just as tabasco sauce is pretty wimpy compared to what's on the market, so goes Home Cooking. Good enough though. Keeper.
Ownership: LP: 1976 Elektra. Gatefold. Thrift shop pickup from earlier in the year.
