WALDIK SORIANO O Cantor Apaixonado BRAZIL LP

Waldik Soriano worked in the Bahian hinterlands until he was 25 years old as a truck driver, manual worker, and prospector. In 1959 he moved to São Paulo and had an opportunity at Rádio Nacional through artistic director Hélio Araújo, whom Soriano had met at the company's door. Araújo, also at that time the director of the Chantecler recording company, gave him the opportunity to record his song "Quem és Tu." Specializing in a repertory based on deeply dramatic, suffering songs, a style called dor-de-cotovelo, he recorded the LP Quem és Tu? in 1960 through Chantecler, which was followed by Waldick Soriano in 1961. The latter featured one of his greatest hits, "Tortura de Amor."

GRADING SCALE: We are as honest as possible grading vinyls (see grading scale below), but what might seem like a minor detail to us may seem like a major defect to you. That’s why we always try to take lots and good pictures in order to help your judgment (mainly about the artwork). But of course feel free to ask any questions before bidding or purchase.

RECORD:

MINT: I don´t use Mint. I only use sometimes unplayed (only if I know for sure that the record is really unplayed and also it looks unplayed).

NEAR MINT: Very clean with, sometimes, just a few barely visible light marks.

EXCELLENT: Light marks and/or few superficial scuffs and/or light scratches. An enjoyable listening with possible light intermittent and barely audible surface noise.

VG+: Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. The difference between this and an excellent record is the amount of scuffs and light scratches.

VG: Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music May have continuous low level crackles or pops, but you still can enjoy the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish

G: It plays, no skipping (or it will be indicated), but with lots of scratches and surface noise. It is being offered because it is rare.

COVER:

MINT: Again, I don´t use Mint even if the cover appears to be mint.

NEAR MINT: Very sharp corners with no impacts or bends, like new.

EXCELLENT: Small writing and/or a small bent corner and/or light shelf wear and/or a small tear and/or a small split seam and and/or light ring wear and/or seams and spine wear. (but no more than 3 of them)

VG+: Small writing and/or a small bent corner and/or light shelf wear and/or a small tear and/or a small split seam and and/or light ring wear and/or a very slight water damage and/or seams and spine wear. (but no more than 5 of them)

VG: Same as above but more visible flaws although the cover is still attractive

G: All the defects plus Cuts and/or missing parts.
