Estudos is the 1971 by Brazilan guitarist Baden Powell, originally released on Elenco in his native country, this was released by BASF in some countries, MPS Records in others. Polygram Records released this in 1986, which was pressed in (West) Germany. This is taken from another blog and is being used with kind permission, thank you to the original uploader.

One of Baden Powell's most popular records does not reveal its recording date. Even extensive research could not answer our questions. "Estudos" is one of his most experimental studio recordings and very well known. Baden Powell recorded only together with the percussionist Alfredo Bessa. Partly he over-dubbed guitar, bass and percussion, now and then he uses sound effects. Some compositions already show harmonies of Apaixonado. Hardly any other record contains so many solo pieces that became guitarist's standard reportoire quickly. It remains unknown if the material was originally intended for the planned solo record to be done in December 1971.
