Marcos Valle

This 2026 release by Três Selos serves as a high-fidelity reissue of Marcos Valle's seminal 1970 self-titled album, often referred to as 'Mustang Cor de Sangue.' Originally recorded during a transformative period in Brazilian music, the album marked Valle’s departure from his earlier bossa nova roots toward a sophisticated blend of psychedelic rock, soul, and tropicalia. The project reflects the experimental atmosphere of the late 1960s and early 1970s in Brazil, where artists were increasingly incorporating international studio production techniques and socially conscious themes into their work.

Três Selos is known for its meticulous archival approach, often sourcing original analog tapes to preserve the warmth and dynamic range of the era's recordings. The design of this edition honors the original aesthetic of the 1970 pressing, maintaining the minimalist cover art that centers on Valle’s portrait. While the original release was met with a mix of curiosity and acclaim for its genre-bending sound, modern reissues like this one have solidified the record's status as a quintessential piece of Brazilian music history, highly sought after by collectors of global psychedelic soul.
