Carmelo claims to have seven or eight of these recordings that he plans to release at some point. Evidently he made some more recordings that were not destroyed, which would have become Tim Maia Racional Volume Three. Well, he made two incredible albums during this phase and then supposedly destroyed everything associated with the cult once he left the cult. So, if you watched the little Tim Maia video on the Luaka Bop site you know about Tim's stint in an extraterrestrial cult. The second bit of information is something that I had heard about, but now that I'm hearing about it from a second source, I'm feeling like it might actually be true. As the story goes, there was a recording session somewhere in the U.S., but no one seems to know when, where or what happened to the tapes. Supposedly the President of Philips Brasil wanted to thank Tim for his impressive record sales by arranging a recording session for Tim with James Brown's band (also on Philips/Polygram).
The first is a mythological meeting of Tim Maia and James Brown. He didn't have much to say about the Ideals single, but he did mention two other interesting tidbits, which have yet to be confirmed by yours truly. One of the most interesting things that came out of this little excersize is that Tim Maia's only legitimate, blood son, Carmelo Maia contacted me to chime in. We're hoping to get a hold of Roger and see if he can shed any light on this situation. Next, we identified the second song-writer, a one Roger Bruno, who was probably another member of the group, The Ideals. To summarize, we deduced that the recording was made in or around November of 1962, because the legendary Brazilian drummer Milton Banana supposedly played on the record and he would have been in New York City for the historical Bossa Nova concert that year at Carnegie hall. EHere's another great song from Tim's 4th self-titled album from 1973
I've removed the version of "Gostava Tanto de Voce" that was here, as I didn't realize that it was Tim's 80s remake of the song. Hop over to Soul Detective to see the updates that Red and I have been posting there. The Tim Maia investigation is proceeding with a few new leads, but nothing solid resulting yet.
