In the new vinyl department, we have one copy of the Tom Ze box set pictured at left. Here's the scoop:

Tom Ze - Studies of
"In celebration of this iconoclastic master of song, politics, satire and human relations, Luaka Bop is releasing a vinyl-only box set, Studies of Tom Zé: Explaining Things So I Can Confuse You which pulls together for the first time a trilogy of 'studies' on Brazilian musical styles' Massive Hits, Estudando o Pagode, and Estudando a Bossa. The latter two recordings have never been issued on vinyl and the former has never been available in the US. This retrospective collection from the first artist ever signed to Luaka Bop is limited edition and numbered. Cut in 180-gram vinyl, and in their complete original covers, the three-record set also includes a live 45 of Zé's legendary collaborative tour with Tortoise, recorded at London's Barbican in 2001. To complete the retrospective treatment, Luaka Bop has added a CD featuring a 1993 conversation between Tom Zé, David Byrne, and Arto Lindsay, a 12-page booklet by noted Brazilian music scholar Chris Dunn, a touch of day glow, lots of varnished paper, and a modicum of cardboard with a splash of black. Comes with a code to digitally download all vinyl content."
