Reach Out is a studio album by the American composer Burt Bacharach, released in 1967.
"What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone"
True in 1967 and still true now!

Equinox is the second album by Sérgio Mendes and Brasil '66, released in April 1967, with vocalists Lani Hall and Janis Hansen.
Review by Richard S. Ginell
Equinox continues the scrumptiously winning sound that Sergio Mendes cooked up in the mid-'60s, this time a bit more fleshed out with John Pisano's guitar, a slightly thicker texture, and even an imitation sitar (this was, after all, 1967). Again, the mix of American pop tunes old and new and Brazilian standards and sleepers is impeccable (although it didn't yield any substantial hits), and the treatments are smooth, swinging, and very much to the point...

Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Prisma Sonoro by Alessandro Alessandroni, released on SR Records in 1972.
Undoubtedly one of the central figures of 1960s/70s Italian film music, Alessandro Alessandroni. Renowned for his pioneering reverb guitar sound, sitar exploration, and a phenomenal whistling technique... One of the most desired sessions (and reported to be his own favourite recording) is Prisma Sonoro, a mythical library LP issued..for the highly collectable Sermi label. This music is exquisitely crafted Italian mood music; propulsive Bossa, enchanting Harpsichord melodies, scowling Giallo-style guitars, mournful string arrangements, and the sublimely plaintive voice of Edda Dell’Orso. Long regarded as the backbone of Italian film music, here is Maestro Alessandroni in all his own lush psychedelic glory.

Fool on the Hill is the fourth studio album by Sérgio Mendes and Brasil '66, released in 1968.
This is the first album featuring the second edition of Brasil '66. Mendes replaced all of the original band members (with the exception of lead singer Lani Hall). The dismissed members went on to form the short-lived group, The Carnival, which released one self-titled album in 1969. This is also the first appearance of Gracinha Leporace on a Sérgio Mendes album.
The album features two top 40 pop singles: the title track and "Scarborough Fair". The traditional English folk song (covered notably by Simon & Garfunkel) was featured in both the trailer and the soundtrack for the 1973 film Heavy Traffic. - Wikipedia

Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday after walking in the rain with Strings Aflame Volume 2 by Esquivel.
A bit of a chequered release history:
Originally scheduled to be released as Esquivel & His Orchestra “You And The Night And The Music”, RCA Victor LPM/LSP-2085 (K2PB-3994). Recorded with 2 additional tracks, “You And The Night And The Music” (currently unreleased) and “I Only Have Eyes For You” (found on reissues of “Other Worlds Other Sounds” BMG 74321 35747 2 and Wax Time 772229
RCA canceled the original 1959 release in the US, but not in Japan and put it out on its budget Camden label in 1962.
Lovely space-age pop from one of the masters anyway.
