>P.S. Does anybody know on which Sergio Mendes album I can find "For What
>It's Worth On", and is it any good as this track???

It's on "Foursider" w/ Brasil 66 [A&M, 1988 (cd), 1972 (vinyl)]. It's a
great track, and there are plenty more greats on Foursider, Fool On The
Hill, and Crystal Illusions. If you want straight ahead bossa nova, try his
Brasil 65 stuff (some is on Curb and I've seen one bootleg). If your looking
for various Brazilian smoothies, try his Brasileiro disc (Elektra) from 1992.

On the subject, has any one seen a Quango compilation disc with a Sergio
Mendes/Brasil 77 tune on it. I saw it once and, after looking through the
rest of the store, forgot I wanted it. Now I'd like to order it, but I can't
remember the name of it. If any one has it, how is it (looked like it had a
bunch of world rhythm stuff on it)?
