From Quinteros early rockabilly singles to his San Fran folk rock with the Au-Go Gos, this collection highlights his Brent singles along with unissued material, acetates, demos & outtakes! Includes a booklet with liner notes & an interview with Eddie! Eddie Quinteros was one precocious kid. Before he was old enough to drive, he was singing on live TV and flying to Hawaii to rock out at stadium gigs. When his contemporaries were still in high school, he was hitting the charts with a tune he wrote himself, playing on an Alan Freed package tour, and making multiple appearances on American Bandstand. And before the San Francisco singer/guitarist was out of his teens, hed already been screwed over by a shifty manager and sworn off the music business. Along the way, Quinteros cut a handful of jumping singles showing that if hed had the right breaks, he could have altered history. Ritchie Valens wouldnt have been the eras only Chicano rock n roll hero. Quinteros Southern rockabilly influences are audible in his early singles, but theyre filtered through the more citified point of view of a San Francisco teen. And in the mid 60s, he reinvented himself as the frontman for the Au Go-Gos, turning out a chiming, folk-rock flavored sound more in line with labelmates and fellow S.F.ers the Beau Brummels. All of Eds recorded output only amounted to a handful of 45s, but this collection sets things straight for posterity, featuring demos, unreleased tracks, live recordings, and acetates.
