Clareou, from Marinês & Sua Gente 1964 RCA LP Siu, Siu, Siu is pulled from a superb 2004 CD reissue. It is somewhat miraculous that these albums were reissued at all. 2004 was five years after Napster when the CD market was beginning to decline. Forró, sadly, has always been a low priority for remastering series. It has been 40+ years since many of the labels had their heyday. Rozenblit's factory suffered a flood that destroyed much of it's archive in 1975. This included Mocambo's considerable and important catalog, which means that is at least one label where any future reissue would need to come from vinyl and shellac. It is becoming more and more important to care for high quality vinyl copies of records that have never been reissued. Luckily, vinyl is far more durable than tape. It was wise of RCA to start a digital archive when it did.
