About this record
Pressed at Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram for the Brazilian market in 1972, this Philips stereo LP carries matrix codes (6349.047 A and B) that confirm the original domestic pressing rather than a later reissue. The runout stamps include the plant identifier (JF), a detail that separates this from international variants and ties it to Philips' Brazilian manufacturing operation during the MPB boom.
What drives its value
This 1972 Brazilian pressing commands a steep condition gradient: a Mint copy reaches 100.91 USD, while a VG+ drops to 69.04 USD and a VG sits at 47.80 USD. The 27 copies currently for sale reflect moderate availability, yet demand remains robust—1426 collectors want it against 1810 who own one, signaling strong collector interest in Jorge Ben's catalog from this era.
Original Brazilian Philips pressings of early-1970s MPB albums hold their value because reissues and international variants flood the secondary market; this domestic edition's pressing-plant provenance and original matrix codes anchor its premium over later reproductions. Condition is the primary value driver: the gap between M and VG is substantial, making grading accuracy essential for pricing.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Philips catalogue number 6349 047 and the matrix runout stamps 6349.047 A (side one) and 6349.047 B (side two), followed by the plant codes 200 6349047 A1 (JF) and 200 6349047 B1 (JF)—the (JF) suffix identifies Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram. The label should read Philips with Brazilian copyright text and the Disco É Cultura seal (CGC N.- 33.177.411/003).
Note the release-notes quirk: track B2 is labeled "Caramba" on the back cover but "Caramba!... Galileu Da Galileia" on the label itself—a known variant of this pressing.
The album lacks a barcode (standard for 1972 Brazilian pressings). Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the jacket for foxing or seam splits; original Brazilian Philips sleeves from this period are prone to edge wear.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this Brazilian pressing from international Philips editions?
The pressing plant code (JF) in the runout—200 6349047 A1 (JF)—identifies Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram, the Brazilian manufacturer. International pressings carry different plant codes or are stamped at European facilities; check the full matrix string in the dead wax. The absence of a barcode also confirms a 1972 Brazilian original.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 69.04 USD. This estimate reflects market data as of the guide's last update; actual sales may vary based on jacket condition, sleeve notes, and whether the B2 label variant is present.
Why does the B2 track have two different titles?
The release notes confirm that "Caramba" appears on the back cover, but the label itself reads "Caramba!... Galileu Da Galileia." This is a known quirk of this pressing, not a defect or mispress. Collectors should verify both the jacket and label when authenticating a copy.
How many copies are typically on the market?
Currently, 27 copies are for sale across tracked sources. This moderate supply, paired with 1426 collectors actively seeking the album, suggests steady demand. The lowest asking price observed is 2.13 USD, though such heavily played copies are outliers; typical market listings cluster around the VG to VG+ range.
What is the condition spread between Mint and VG?
A Mint copy is priced at 100.91 USD, while a VG copy is valued at 47.80 USD. This wide range underscores why condition assessment is critical for this pressing. Even a single grade drop (M to NM, at 90.29 USD) represents a meaningful loss, making careful inspection essential before purchase.
