Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This concise and colorful box set explores the many moods and musical tastes of bossa nova maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim. The Brazilian titan died in 1994, but his lush legacy continues to influence and inspire scores of new musicians. This Prime trio includes 1965's pop-flavored The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim, 1966's exquisite instrumental Love, Strings and Jobim, and 1967's A Certain Mr. Jobim, which included newer versions of songs featured on past albums. Throughout the set, Jobim's gentle grace and smart sophistication are front and center--even when his participation is limited. His tastes run from tropical to classical, from perky pop to easy listening, and everything sounds crisp and new. The original liner notes and album art are included for each disc. The entire box set's informative new liner notes come courtesy of Brazilian music expert Terri Hinte, and they are cleverly continued throughout each disc's booklet. Talk about a must-read. --Joey Guerra

Rating: - The Prime Of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Three Warner Bros. LP's, Originally Released Between 1965 Through 1967, In One Nice Box Set!
Jobim is supposed to have lived in California for a couple years in the middle 60's, 3 LP's are supposed to have come out of this time period.

They contain some of my favorite instrumentals and vocals by Jobim.

A Felicidade absolutely knocks me out every time I hear it, I never tire after repeated listening.

Truly, the songs Zingaro, Favela, Surfboard, Samba Do Aviao, Aqua De Beber, Outra Vez, So Tinha Der Ser Com Voce... well, swing.

This box set is faithful to the original Warner Bros. LP's, all the original liner notes, artwork, and order of the songs are here, along with some new liner notes to bring everything up to date.

Buying and listening to The Prime Of Antonio Carlos Jobim is like walking to the beach, finding a place to sit down and pushing your toes in the sand.

I love the picture of Jobim on the front cover in a green short sleeve shirt, long hair and big moustache.

He resembles a Science Teacher!

In a way, I guess he is, he sure knows how to stew up some serious chemicals.

The songs will tug on your heart strings and fill you with great longing.

Guaranteed.

Rating: - Excelent
These 3 records were out of market. It was a very good ideia put them together.
