Alonso - 'Alonso'
There's not a lot I can tell you about this CD I found in a charity shop. It was privately recorded, so no label or record number.
The best I can do is quote verbatim the notes on the back of the CD:
"This CD is a collection of covers and original songs. The covers and also "Hey Mr. Postman" were recorded in Amsterdam in August 97, and feature Carlos Vamos on the electric guitar. The following five compositions were produced later the same year in Rio de Janeiro, my home town, with session musicians."
Five of the six tracks were co-written with William Longden.
It's not bad, but I'm not sure I will try to track down any subsequent recordings.
