It’s one of the rarest singles in Brazilian music history, and for the longest time the only known version existed on the \u003cem\u003eVia Brazil\u003c\/em\u003e compilation (2001), albeit slightly faster (pitched up) for reasons unknown. Says \u003cstrong\u003eRoberto\u003c\/strong\u003e: “\u003cem\u003e‘Lotus 72 D’ is a tribute to the sensational talent of Formula 1 driver, \u003cstrong\u003eEmerson Fittipaldi\u003c\/strong\u003e, who was crowned world champion in 1972. I can't remember the names of the musicians who participated in the recording because they were hired by the original record label, RCA\/Victor. The production team consisted of artistic co-ordinator, \u003cstrong\u003eHenrique Gastaldello\u003c\/strong\u003e, and arranger, \u003cstrong\u003eSeverino Filho\u003c\/strong\u003e. The year of recording was 1973. I'm not aware of another fast version of the song 'Lotus 72 D’\u003c\/em\u003e” (Reminds me of “Bug In The Bassbin,” a jazzy slab of low-slung percussive broken beat by \u003cstrong\u003eCarl Craig\u003c\/strong\u003e’s \u003cstrong\u003eInnerzone Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e which was famously played at the wrong speed by jungle DJs, eventually inspiring the sound of drum \u0026amp; bass). This reissue features the tune at its original speed as well as the pitched up 'fast version,' 100% officially licensed direct from \u003cstrong\u003eRoberto\u003c\/strong\u003e, housed in a reproduction of the original picture sleeve.
