LIMITED EDITION LP / DELUXE 180-GRAM REISSUE / 5 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE. Elemental Music, together with Universal Music, proudly presents the 50th Anniversary LP reissue of the long unavailable third album by the influential Caetano Veloso. Also known as Irene or ?lbum Branco (“White Album”), this masterpiece is considered one of the greatest Brazilian albums ever, and also a landmark set from the Tropic?lia years. The current edition contains, for the first time ever since its European release, the full-uncensored versions of “A Little More Blue” and “Maria Beth?nia”, exactly as they were recorded and released in Europe in 1971. This historic edition remains more relevant than ever in the current global political climate in which fundamental human rights, such as freedom of expression and migratory movements, are again threatened. This album, as a first-hand testimony of a political exile, helps reclaim the dignity of the victims of political exile throughout the world. Recorded at Chappell’s Studios, London, June 1970.
