Tom Ze

• GATEFOLD EDITION

Away from radio and television, and with live performances  increasingly scarce at the end of the 1970s, Tom Zé was a risky investment for record levels, agents and gig promoters

Always eager to please his sense of innovation and his creativity, Tom Zé wanted to release a album again after the cult album Estudando o Samba (1976). So came this, a record where the tension was in the script, in the distressing real life that the artist interpreted and reported also in an autobiographical manner. At Correio da Estacao do Brás , Tom Zé had done what seemed impossible: contemporary working-class music not for the elite, but for the people itself.

This reissue includes unseen photos, new testimonials from Tom Zé himself and a lengthy article signed by Bento Araujo, auithor of the book series Lindo Sonho Delirante
