1972 is a key year for the rest of Mutantes’ life. With the Baurets, Rita Lee said good bye to the group. Before leaving she recorded the group’s most rock’n’roll album. From ‘Posso perder minha mulher, minha mãe, desde que eu tenha meu rock’n’roll’ (I can loose my woman, my mother as soon as I have my rock’n’roll) to ‘Rua Augusta’ (São Paulo city’s famous street) the album is pure TNT. There is a waterfall of rock’n’roll in ‘Dune Buggy’, ‘Beijo Exagerado’ (Too Much of a Kiss), ‘A Hora e a Vez do Cabelo Nascer’ (The Time for the Hair to be born’), re-edited in a brilliant version by Sepultura in 1989. Although surrounded by pure rock’n’roll, there were also the acid smoothness of ‘Vida de Cachorro’ (A Dog’s Life) and what would become the group’s biggest hit ‘Balada do Louco’ (Balad of the Mad). The psychedelic side brings the surreal-progressive opera in ‘Tempo no Tempo’ (Once There was a Time I Thought) from the first album; and the Dada teaser ‘Todo Mundo Pastou I e II’ (Everybody got messed up I and II). Last comment on the album goes for the title inspired in Lewis Carroll famous Alice in the Wonderland and, of course, a reference to Bill Harlley and Its Comets. (Marcelo Dolabela, Oct/Nov 1999).
