As Cilibrinas do Éden

Somewhere between leaving in 72 the fantastic rock group Mutantes - with its psych sounds and avant-garde tropicalistic arrangements - and launching in 74 a solo career as one of the top pop-rock brazilian stars, Rita Lee wanted to form an all-girl band and teamed up with glam rocker Lucia Turnbull under the name Cilibrinas do Éden (Eden as in the Garden and Cilibrina being slang for several spaced-out drugs).
They ended up being backed by three guys (who later became the band Tutti Frutti who recorded 4 more albuns with Rita Lee).

Cilibrinas only recorded one record, which is kinda transitional - rocking sometimes, psyching sometimes - but is in fact very good. Recorded live in fron tof a small audience in a pretty straight-forward manner.
Brazilian music industry mogul Midani scraped the record - which stills remains officially unreleased - declaring it not up-to-standards, but mostly because for he had other plans for Rita, as a solo (and better-produced) artist with hit songs.
(Turnbull got kinda dissed in the whole story...)

Finally, after 35 years, brazilian fans operating out of Spain put out this bootleg edition with the original tapes (did someone raid the vault?) which has been spreading through the internet.
Read an article about it last week and tought of talking about it here.

ps
this is from an old tape i´ve had for years, so the tracks are in a different order than the No Smoke Records release.

Passei isto de uma fita antiga que tenho, de modos que as faixas estão numa sequencia diferente do que a do recente disco pirata. Mas creio que esta é a ordem do show.

pss
