I cannot remember if this is the first contribution made by the powerful AdHoc with music transferred from vinyl, instead of CD. There is a huge technical difference between both transfers, everything is simple with a CD, the audio is transferred by a digital process, no noise, and the covers are small and easy to transfer in any scanner. In the other hand, vinyl transfers are different and complex; you should play the whole album while transferring and later use noise reduction software, having in mind the balance between improving against loosing sound quality. I got tired only defining the audio transfer, but the cover is also a pain, it is necessary to scan and stitch four parts of the cover to make a single one.

All to say and thank AdHoc for this amazing and professional vinyl transfer that seems to be from a CD, but was transferred from vinyl, since inexplicably, Tiro de Misericordia never had a chance to be released on CD. Let’s see.

This is Joao Bosco – Tiro de Misericordia (1977), for RCA, the fourth Joao Bosco career album, preceded by the excellent Galos de Briga, Caca a Raposa e Joao Bosco self-titled debut album, released in 1973. Tiro de Misericordia (Mercy Shot) brings compositions of Joao Bosco with Aldir Blanc, a frequent collaborator at the start of Joao Bosco career and Cristina Buarque – again! – singing on track 06 – Vaso Ruim Nao Quebra. Loronix Preview Center features 09 – Bijuterias, a delicious tune and one of the great Joao Bosco hits. Tracks include:
