Léo Bahia - Jôgo Proibido (baião) from Tiger 78rpm (likely 1960s - vinyl 78rpm)

Jôgo Proibido by Léo Bahia is an absolute killer 78rpm, likely released in the early 1960s. I have almost zero information on the artist, aside from the fact that he recorded several carnival records (marcha) in addition to this one.

The 78rpm is peculiar. It was not pressed in shellac, but vinyl. This is the first time that I have encountered a vinyl 78rpm. The late 1950s were a strange time. The industry was experimenting with a number of formats to see what would stick. The 50s were a slugfest between 10", compacto and LP.
