Don McLean – American Pie

message me for a copy! i have this boot available

Very deep sound. Great clean pressing. Vibrant. Could not find any similar pressings on Discogs.

One of the greatest albums the tapestry of words that are woven throughout have certainly lived for me for 50 years I’m sure people will take solace and pleasure in equal parts in another 50 years … if your on the fence jump in and buy a good copy of this album or indeed just stream it Don was always a storyteller and poet as well as musician

Sounds lush... lovely to learn about this iconic album. I have much more appreciation for DM than before.. all those student years of hearing American Pie in clubs... and now I know where Vincent come from

A classic album by Don McLean. His song-writing strengths really appear on a number of these tracks. Basically, a 'must have' for any record collection!

Although American Pie is a great song & got all the airplay in the day, Vincent is one of my favorite songs of all time. This is a good pressing of an album that belongs in everyone's collection.

My copy has a "Gold Record Award Officially Certified By The Assn. Of Australian Record Manuf." Sticker on front.

got 1 copy too, if anyboys wants one, a nice VG+

Donald McLean (born October 2, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1971 hit song "American Pie", an 8-and-a-half-minute folk rock "cultural touchstone" about the loss of innocence of the early rock and roll generation. His other hit singles include "Vincent", "Dreidel", a rendition of Roy Orbison's "Crying", a rendition of the Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You", and "Wonderful Baby". McLean's composition "And I Love You So" has been recorded by Elvis Presley, Perry Como, Helen Reddy, Glen Campbell, and others, and 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" and "Vincent" had reached five million and three million airplays respectively.

Honestly I could do an entire review on the song 'American Pie' alone, hell, even a thesis! But I think that a job such as that is best left over to the Geniuses at Genius Lyrics. They have compiled and analysed the lyrics and you learn so much about the song, it really has a deeper meaning afterward. Anyway it is an amazing song despite it's long length. The entire album actually is very good, my favourite songs being 'American Pie' and 'Vincent' which are great to listen to as one offs but also within the album as well. This is a very highly recommended album from me! (listen to it, NOW!)

Album Score: 9/10

Is there another (german) pressing with red labels? Mine does not have the stereo "logo" and the two circles around the 33 1/2 on the labels.
