Compilation album by Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66 released by A&M Records in 1970 in their Greatest Hits series. It opens with the group’s cover version of “Mas que Nada” which, according to Mendes, “was the first time that a song in Portuguese was a hit in America and all over the world.” It here is misspelled as “Mais que Nada”.

The series design features bold outlined Clarendon caps with color fill and a (custom added?) monolinear heartline. “Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66” as well as the song names use Pretorian.
