Thanks for checking out my albums! I've been collecting records for 20 years and now its time to give up the ship. I'm sure you will find the albums I put up for bid are some of the best copies around. So enjoy and feel free to ask any questions you might have.
This album is a pretty good mix of songs and is a fun play on both sides. A very tuff album to find, in any condition, here's your chance to snag a NM- copy.
A little Chris Montez tidbit I found on the web.
Chris Montez had one huge hit in the early 60's and a number of other songs on the charts later in the decade.
Born Christopher Montanez in 1943 in Los Angeles, he attended high school with the Beach Boys. At 17 he made his first single She's My Rockin' Baby. Chris Montez was a fan of another Los Angeles area teenager, ill-fated rock star Ritchie Valens. Producer Jim Lee helped to promote Montez, forming a record label called Monogram for him.
The second single that Chris recorded for Monogram proved to be the biggest hit of his career. In the early 60's there were a number of dance tunes on the charts, so he recorded Let's Dance and in 1962 it became a top ten song and a huge hit overseas as well. He followed that with Some Kinda Fun, a song that he had co-written with Jim Lee. It had modest success in the United States but was a top ten song in the UK, sold a million copies, and led to a tour of the UK with the then-emerging Beatles.
