A Look at the Records
The records in this set look a lot like the original ones. They have the same album covers from when they first came out. The record labels themselves were updated slightly. They kept the "diamonds" design but changed the color. Instead of sea green, they were black with olive green writing.
The La Bamba Movie Connection
In 1987, a popular movie called La Bamba was released. This film told the story of Ritchie Valens' life. Because of the movie's success, his music became popular again. Rhino Records then re-released the three albums from this box set separately. They also put out another collection called The Best Of Ritchie Valens.
