Cat. No. VV 1109: RITCHIE VALENS ~ IN CONCERT AT PACOIMA JR, HIGH. PRISM PRLP-1214.

USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

HERE WE HAVE A VERY RARE COLLECTABLE ALBUM FOR FANS OF RITCHIE VALENS. SIDE ONE OF THE ALBUM CONSISTS OF A LIVE PERFORMANCE BY RITCHIE AT AN ASSEMBLY AT HIS FORMER HIGH SCHOOL, PACOIMA JUNIOR HIGH. IN THE LINER NOTES BY BOB KEENE HE STATES THAT THE RECORDED SOUND IS NOT A CLEAR AS THEY WOULD LIKE BUT THAT DEL-FI DECIDED TO RELEASE IT AT THE REQUEST OF RITCHIE VALENS FANS. BOB ALSO DOES THE NARRATION ON THE ALBUM.

SIDE TWO OF THE ALBUM HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO PRESENTING SOME OF THE RECORDINGS THAT "MAY HAVE BEEN" HAD RITCHIE LIVED...IDEAS THAT RITCHIE RECORDED AT HOME FROM TIME TO TIME AS HE WORKED PREPARING NEW MATERIAL.

WE AT MUSTANG RECORDS ARE NOT REALLY SURE OF THE ORIGIN OF THE RECORD AS THE LABEL INDICATES THAT IT IS A PRISM RECORDS RELEASE WHICH WAS NOT ONE OF DEL-FI'S SUBSIDIARY LABELS. PRISM RECORDS WAS IN FACT THE NAME CHOSEN BY BUDDY HOLLY FOR HIS FORTHCOMING RECORD LABEL WHICH NEVER EVENTUATED BECAUSE OF HIS UNTIMELY PASSING. HE EVEN HAD BUSINESS CARDS PRINTED UP LISTNG THE COMPANY AS PRISM RECORDS.

TRACK LISTING; Side 1 (live) - Come On Let's Go / Donna / Summertime Blues / From Beyond / La Bamba. Side 2 (demos and unfinished tracks) - Rhythm Song / Guitar Instrumental / Malaguena / Rock Little Darlin' / Let's Rock And Roll.
