'Finally the long awaited reissue of the most important band of garage '60s in Brazil, Os Baobas. The original LP, together with The Beat Boys LP, is today one of the most wanted records for garage colletors. Unfortunately the original album have a problem in the sound. None of the pressed LPs have a good sound. Now we put together all the singles with the original album along with remastered sound. The singles included track like 'Bye Bye My Darling Goodbye', 'Down Down Down' and the powerful cover of the Stones' 'Paint It Black (Pintada De Preto)'. Os Baobas were one of the most important bands in Sao Paulo's garage rock scene of the sixties, but they have remained in obscurity until now, despite their not so limited discography. The band is best remembered for having included Liminha (later on a Mutantes member and producer) in its line-up and having played with Caetano Veloso, replacing the Beat Boys. But their most valuable treasure is the series of singles they recorded between 1966 and 1968. The LP includes a complete discography, photos, singles covers and a bio in the back of the LP.'
'Os Baobas was a good garage band from Brazil with psychedelic tinges, their career lasted from 1965 to 1968. They initially called themselves Rubber Souls, but change to Baobas after "Baobab", a big African tree on the suggestion of singer Ronnie Von (taken from Saint-xupery's The Little Prince).
They also backed Caetano Veloso on some T.V. appearances, deputising for The Beat Boys, and even recording a single with Ronnie Von, Menina Azul (which was co-written by Ricardo Contins and Ronnie Von).
Like many of their contemporaries, Os Baobas drew their repertoire from U.K. and U.S. records unissued (at least at the time) in Brazil, like the Doors (their Light My Fire came out before the orignal was issued there), Love (Orange Skies), the Kinks (A Well-Respected Man and Sunny Afternoon). Other covers of note were the Turtles' Happy Together and their version of the Stones' Paint It Black (Pintada De Preto), but there were original compositions by Ricard Contins (Down, Down).' - Dreams, Fantasies And Nightmares
