THE RITCHIE VALENS STORY contains hits, B-sides and demos, and a 12-page photo booklet.

Ritchie Valens's death in the same 1959 airplane crash that claimed Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper remains one of the greatest tragedies of early rock & roll. Valens was only 17 years old at the time, standing at the very beginning of his musical career, full of promise and unrealized potential. His simple, heartfelt music made the teenager America's first Latin rock star, inspired a Hollywood film, and earned him a posthumous induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The adolescent longing and playful, exuberant energy of songs such as "La Bamba", "Donna," and "Come On, Let's Go" have long since made them absolute classics.

THE RITCHIE VALENS STORY, narrated by producer Bob Keane, contains the hit recordings of Ritchie's three best-known songs, as well as numerous previously unreleased demos and outtakes. Many of these were spontaneously recorded in Keane's living room and sound raw, unpolished, and fragmentary. Nevertheless, Ritchie's voice and guitar playing carries them through. These demos are fascinating to compare with the hit versions of the songs and provide a rare glimpse into the development of a great talent.

Incl.8 Demo Versions/B-Sides & Live Recordings

Includes liner notes by Bob Keane.

Personnel: Ritchie Valens (vocals, guitar); Bob Keane (spoken vocals).

5 stars I BELIEVE IN FLYING SAUCER
This CD is really beautiful. Donna makes me to believe that Richie don’t died in an airplane, but only were going back to the road of stars on board of a flying saucer.

CD $7.59  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Combining layered vocals with a heavily looped guitar sound, "Until We Sleep" begins ABOUT FACE with an almost Byrds-like quality, while the gentleness of the acoustic opening to the ballad "Murder" disguises its homicidal subject matter. Both "Love On the Air," and "All Lovers are Deranged," are distinguished by lyrics written by Pete Townshend, and "Blue Light" is an attempt at funk with a Floydian flavor. Gilmour's strength at ballad ...

David Gilmour CD  (1978) Remastered

CD $6.79  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Before David Gilmour virtually "became" Pink Floyd he was always the most likely member of the band (with the possible exception of de-facto leader Roger Waters) to release a solo album. 1978's welcome eponymous debut showcased his multi-faceted performing talents. The album opener "Mihalis" is an ANIMALS period instrumental, which, along with "Raise My Rent," sounds like an outtake from that album. The beautiful "There's No Way Out of Here" begins with a lonely harmonica and, with "No Way" and "I Can't Breathe Anymore," expounds the album's main theme of being trapped in an untenable situation. "Cry From the Streets" is a nod to the blues, while the lovely "So Far Away" harks back to the ballads of OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. Almost a missing mid-period Floyd album, this solo effort is a must-have for all Pink Floyd fans. By the time of David Gilmour's solo debut, he had not only established himself several times over as an underrated, powerful guitarist in Pink Floyd, but as a remarkably emotional singer, his soothing approach perfectly suited to such songs as ...

Doors Soft Parade CD  (1969) Gold; Remastered

Ritchie Valens Story CD music
CD $20.29  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Dismissed by the benighted as the Doors' "pop album," SOFT PARADE is one of the band's most adventurous recordings, utilizing strings and horns without resorting to schlocky over-production and moving far beyond their blues roots. Morrison was fully into his shaman phase by 1969, and his obsession with that image is reflected in the proselytizing air of "Tell All the People," and of course "Shaman's Blues." The album's biggest hit "Touch Me," while easily the group's most radio-friendly offering, is a pop classic that ranks among the great '60s AM radio tunes. "Wild Child" is a brief return to the blues-rock of yore, but the title track is a sophisticated, extended piece that moves through several different moods and textures, full of the elliptical, poetic lyrics that were Morrison's trademark. The weakest studio album recorded with Jim ...

"Real" rock continues rolling into the mainstream's consciousness. Of course the sound's not really "real"; it's actually recombinant, whether you're talking about Jet's crop-dusting of Deep Purple and Stones riffs or the Marshall stacks 'n' spandex phenomenon of everyone's favorite glammy bogeymen in the Darkness. The young English quintet Hurricane Party enters the fray with a debut EP as brazenly repackaged as the rest, ...
