Tim Maia Racional, Vol. 1 is the fifth studio album by the Brazilian singer and songwriter Tim Maia, released in 1974 through his own label Seroma.[1]

Background

edit

After the release of his latest album Tim Maia (1973), Maia received a proposal from the record label RCA to record a double album with total artistic freedom. He would not only be able to choose the repertoire, but also the musicians, studio, and technicians.[2] In addition, the contract stipulated a very large payment. Maia contacted the president of his then-label PolyGram, André Midani, and gave him the opportunity to match the rival label's proposal. This caused Midani to release Maia from his contract with PolyGram, stating that they would not match the offer. In August 1973, less than one month after the release of his latest album, Maia was free to sign the new contract, only keeping a promotional contract with Polydor Records due to commitments from his latest album.[3][4]

Recording and production

edit

In July 1974, Maia started to record the bases of the songs at his new label's studios, in Rio de Janeiro.
