Columbia Record changed its name to CBS circa October 1962 but kept their same serial-numbers
Differently from Argentina where most foreign records have their song titles translated into Spanish on their sleeves, Brazilian can't be bothered to pay someone to translate those foreign titles into Portuguese and go through life without knowing the meaning of songs they have known all their lives. CBS tried to introduce song-title-translating in the 60s but I must admit it was not entirely successful. Here are some examples I don't necessarily agree: 'Blue gardenia' became... 'Blue gardenia'... that ain't no translation at all; 'How high the moon' (Tão alta a lua); 'I'm in the mood for love' became 'É meu destino amar' which means: 'To love is my destiny' not quite what J. McHugh & D. Fiels meant when they wrote the song... 'There's no you' became 'Não estás a meu lado'... 


some more peculiarities perpetrated by the CBS-translator officer: 'Moon River' became 'Lua do rio'... which is not actually wrong but I think 'Moon River' is the name of the river and not a moon over a river; 'Can't get used to losing you' became 'Não posso acostumar-me a perder-te' which is a stiff translation... I would translate it as 'Não me acostumo de haver te perdido'; 'I want to be wanted' original Italian title is 'Per tutta la vita'... well, the translator thought it was easier to translate from Italian - 'Por toda a vida' - and forgot what he had been paid for. 'As time goes by' became unaccountably 'O amor é sempre o amor' (Love is always love)... Jee whiz!! Finally, 'Warm and willing' became 'Apaixonada e dócil'... by some stretch of the translator's imagination!
Oops! Pardon me! CBS wanted to release a special album for the Brazilian market when Andy Williams recorded Dorival Caymmi's '... and roses and roses' (Das Rosas). No problemo! They had a Broadway album Williams had recorded some time before... so they borrowed the front-cover photo and did a new art-work around it.

The Byrds produced by Terry Melcher.
CBS translator got tired mid-way through his work: he started well translating 'Misty' as 'Melancólico': he stumbled hard when he translated 'Stranger in paradise' as 'O estranho do paraiso'; then he couldn't make his mind what 'Warm' means, so he just left a blank space; 'Heavenly' he properly translated as 'Celestial' and then went to sleep on the job and left his work undone.
The Byrds's 2nd album 'Turn! Turn! Turn!' also produced by Terry Melcher, Doris Day's son.

'Gary Puckett & the Union Gap' liner-notes: Em janeiro de 1967, nasceu em San Diego-California, um grupo vocal chamado The Union Gap, em homenagem a uma famosa cidade do estado de Washington. O grupo que se apresenta em vistosos uniformes do exercito da União, vitorioso na Guerra Civil norte-americana, iniciou sua carreira artística em bailes de clubes e universidades, avançando do Norte para Sul, como os comandados do General Ulysses S. Grant.

Em seu rumo vitorioso, o conjunto apresentou-se em estações de radio e TV, com grande sucesso, passando a figurar na lista de grupos vocais preferidos pelos espectadores e ouvintes, atingindo em especial a juventude estudantil estadunidense. 

Devido ao êxito alcançado, The Union Gap foi contratado pela CBS, e seu 1o. compacto, 'Woman, woman' chegou ao #4 em 2 December 1967 no Hit Parade da revista Billboard, e proporcionou ao conjunto seu 1o. disco de ouro por ter vendido mais de 1.000.000 de exemplares nos EUA, o mesmo acontecendo com 'Young girl', (#2 em 16 March 1968) o 2o. compacto, e assim como o 3o. 'Lady willpower' (#2 em 22 June 1968) os quais constam desse LP. 

As demais musicas, são interpretações de grandes sucessos de famosos artistas internacionais, como Johnny Rives ('By the time I get to Phoenix'), Neil Diamond ('Kentucky woman'), Aretha Franklin (Sweet, sweet baby, Since you've been gone), Beatles ('Lady Madonna'), Bobby Goldsboro ('Honey, I miss you'), Petula Clark ('Kiss me goodbye') e Manfred Mann ('The mighty Quinn'), sendo o restante do repertório próprio do Union Gap, a maioria de autoria de Gary Puckett, lider do conjunto. 

Os membros do conjunto, além do "General" Gary Puckett, acima mencionado, também cantor e guitarrista, são o 'Sargento' Dwight Bemment (sax-tenor), o 'Cabo' Kerry Chater (contra-baixo), e os 'Soldados' Gary 'Mutha' Whiten (pianista) e Paul Wheatbread (bateria). 

Ao escutar este disco, vocês verão que 'Woman, woman' foi apenas o 1o. degrau no que promete ser uma carreira sensacional para um novo conjunto que desponta no Hit Parade mundial. Produzido por Jerry Fuller;  Arranjos e direção: Al Capps.
