Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 4 - October 2019 /// Camarón de la isla - La leyenda del tiempo

It could be João Do Vale ‎– O Poeta Do Povo but OG copies are pretty expensive even if DOL reissued the record a few years ago (but it's DOL...).

Hint #1 - I can't link to Montreux
Hint #2 - Samba / Bossa Nova
Hint #3 - Released on Philips
Hint #4 - Released in 1965
Hint #5 - Definitely World Music
Hint #6 - Poets House / Poeta do Povo (Poet of the People) and River Terrace (started his career in Rio (= river) de Janeiro)

Though, Vinicius de Moraes is known to be "O Poeta" in Brazil and he was born, and died, in Rio de Janeiro. He is credited 3000+ times on Discogs for writing and arrangement only :p It could have been Toquinho & Vinicius or Os Afro-Sambas but both haven't been reissued recently (os Afro-Sambas actually did but on a Brazilian record club and is damn expensive). In addition, @agutierrezb says "It is a reference to someone who has writing credits on the album" so I understand it's not one of his album. So, as a second guess I'll say it's Chico Buarque - Construcção as it's one of the best Brazilian album ever and got reissued recently (by Polysom Brazil, the version I have, and Elemental Music so it's easy to find in the $27/30 price range). [EDIT] Album is called Construcção (Construction) and can be connected to the playground or the building, each on each side of the street (Street View).

Chico Buarque - Construcção

Hint #1 - He played a few times in Montreux (at least in 1986, 1991 and 1993)
Hint #2 - Musica Popular Brasileira / Bossa Nova
Hint #3 - Released on Philips
Hint #4 - Released in 1971, it's his first album
Hint #5 - Definitely World Music
Hint #6 - Vinicius de Moraes is credited on 4 songs and and Chico Buarque was born in Rio de Janeiro

If the answer was just a poet I could have picked any place in the world that referenced poet or poetry, but I picked that specific site in New York for a reason.

just wanted to make sure, I remember a time when we used to derive Patti Smith Albums from sets of coordinates given by storf and in the end all it was meaning was beaches.

Caetano Veloso - S/T (1971)

View attachment 16671

The mostly english language album recorded in London.

The last track "Asa Branca" is a cover of a song written with Luiz Gonzaga. Someone else can fill us in because this is outside my knowledge. The information I gather indicates that he is a very important cultural figure in Brazil and has been covered a lot. Wiki states that he is a poet in addition to a singer, songwriter & musician, so that would tie to the Poet House clue.

And he played Montreux in 1982 and this was released on Phillips at least in some countries.

That's all I got.

EDIT: oh yeah the rest of the clues: released 1971, new genre for N&G: tropicalia, definitely world music.

@Teeeee still has to update the post on the first page, but these guesses finally allow me to answer 2 of your questions.
I'll be in a meeting until 4PM Eastern Time, so you have until that time to ask whatever you want to know about the album. I'll then pick 2 questions to answer to confuse you even further help you find the album I picked.
 
Visitors to Poets House can hear the voices of Walt Whitman, E. E. Cummings, William Carlos Williams, Sylvia Plath and hundreds of other poets

These are very much a stretch but in feel like these quotes from Wikipedia could definitely have some connection
