Tony Campello's 1960 album.
Demétrius was the first Young roster member to break out on his own when he moved to Continental Discos in 1961, a year after Young folded in. He had a major hit with 'Corinna, Corinna', sung in Portuguese, that made all the difference. 'Ídolos da Juventude', released in 1962 was his first album ever.
Demétrius at first intended to record 'Corinna, Corinna' in English but he was advised against it by Diogo Mulero aka Palmeira, Continental A&P man. Palmeira was right, after all.

Prini Lorez's 1964 blockbuster album. It is not much of an album sleeve but considering it had to hide Prini's face from the public... it is not that bad. Prini Lorez was a gimmick Jose Scatena, the owner of RGE concocted to rip off Trini Lopez's persona. Reprise was late in releasing Trini's album in Brazil, so Scatena recorded José Gagliardi Junior as if he were Trini... he changed Zezinho's name to PRINI LOREZ and the singles 'America' and 'La bamba' went straight to number One at the Brazilian charts. What a con artist Scatena was!
