American Pie is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Don McLean, released by United Artists Records in October 1971. The folk rock album reached number one on the Billboard 200, containing the chart-topping singles "American Pie" and "Vincent". Recorded in May and June 1971 at The Record Plant in New York City, the LP is dedicated to Buddy Holly, and was reissued in 1980 minus the track "Sister Fatima". The album was released to much acclaim, later being included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Donald McLean III (born October 2, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, known to fans as the "American Troubadour" or "King of the Trail". He is best known for his 1971 hit "American Pie", an eight-and-a-half-minute folk rock song that has been referred to as a "cultural touchstone". His other hit singles include "Vincent", "Dreidel", "Castles in the Air", and "Wonderful Baby", as well as renditions of Roy Orbison's "Crying" and the Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You".

McLean's song "And I Love You So" has been recorded by Elvis Presley, Perry Como, Helen Reddy, Glen Campbell, and others. In 2000, Madonna had a hit with a rendition of "American Pie".

In 2004, McLean was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In January 2018, BMI certified that "American Pie" had reached five million airplays and "Vincent" three million.


 

ALL RECORDS HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED ON EQUIPMENT. ONLY A CAREFUL VISUAL EVALUATION WAS DONE.

All items are original, unless stated otherwise. I stand behind all my merchandise as being as stated. I try to be as accurate and precise as possible when describing items but this is not an exact science, we are all human. I usually will under grade slightly. So please read descriptions carefully and email me if you have further questions. Here is my system: 1.NEW/MINT: means exactly that, no flaws. 2.AS NEW/NEAR MINT: means there may be very some tiny flaw such as some very minor rubbing. 3.FINE: means there may be slightly more imperfections, such as some wear or a tiny crease, etc. 4.VERY GOOD: means there are flaws, such as pinholes, small closed tears, spots, rubbing, creases, chips, staining, discoloration, etc. All of which would be minor. 5.GOOD: means that there are significant problems. Holes, tears, pieces missing, smoke damage, mold, insects, dents, cracks, parts missing, incomplete items, water staining or damage, sunning, loose pages, bindings, covers. All of which would lean more toward the extreme side. Most items look better than the photo allows for. RETURN POLICY: All items are returnable within seven days of receipt. I must be contacted first before an item can be returned and refund made. Only the purchase price is refundable. I pay return postage only.
