Album Review

Although The Ritchie Valens Story contains four of Valens' hits ("La Bamba," "Donna," "Come On, Let's Go," "That's My Little Suzie") some famous tracks, like "Ooh! My Head," are not here. The bulk of the disc consists of seven demos that were previously unavailable in America and a 21-minute narration by Valens' producer Bob Keane, who also compiled the album. Hardcore fans will need this for the demos, but casual fans are much better served by Rhino's The Best of Ritchie Valens.
