Description
VERY RARE! This Richie Valens album is a one of a kind as the back cover has a mistake and reads "I Got a Gal Named Sue" instead of "That's my Little Suzie". Ritchie Valens is the first album by Ritchie Valens, posthumously released by Del-Fi Records in March 1959, one month after his death in a plane crash. It is his only studio album entirely composed of master tracks recorded at Gold Star Studios. The album peaked at #23 on the Billboard album chart.
The original pressings are black and sea green with circles around the outer edge. The print font for the track listings on these labels is the same font used on the back of the album cover. Later pressings feature black labels with gold and sea green diamonds around the outer edge. The album has been reissued over the years, featuring different album covers, however this is an original and rare version.
Record is in great shape! Works perfectly! Album is in excellent condition in front and back as well. (See photos) Jerry Osborne Rockin' Records Price Guide 2014 Edition Valued at $300-$400 so we are priced accordingly.
