Does anyone own any of the Nara Leao stuff besides VENTO DEMAIO?

I have the wonderful "Vento de Maio" and used to have "Nara Leao" acquired as a worn, used LP. I loaned it out to someone years ago and never got it back. Checking the Dusty Groove site just now I see that they've got this and other Leao CDs available (in stock?)
You talkin' CDs or LPs? Used to have some LPs, but now I've got the 15 CD "Nara" box that covers '64-'75 plus bonus & rare cuts. Absolutely essential, IMHO, but esp. if you love bossa & samba. Dusty has a decent after-we-import-it price, but you can get the box from Brasil for $80 or so including shipping (might be less now since it's like 4 BRL (Real, R$) to 1 USD these days. There's also a second box for the 70s and 80s... don't know if it's out yet, but it was due back in Nov. 2002. -Patrick NP: Boban Markovic' Orkestar - "Bistra Reka"
