Borrachinha - Como Demorou & Forró Do Benedito - RGE 78rpm (1961) - Premier LP (1973)

Borrachinha is one of my favorite voices from late 50s and early 60s forró, so I was thrilled to find additional material to post from this elusive artist. Como Demorou and Forró Do Benedito were originally released by RGE as a 1961 78rpm-only single in Brazil. I later learned that both of these songs were reissued on an excellent LP called Sucessos Dos Maiores Cantores Nordestinos on Premier Records from 1973. This album featured a number of killer tracks from the early 60s. I am heartened when I find vinyl preserving 78s because the format is far sturdier than shellac 78s and sometimes sounds better, even if the vinyl isn't perfect. Ironically, the LPs can be as rare or rarer than the 78s.
