Product Description 1971 will forever be one of classic rock's finest years. Friday Music is so very proud to offer one of the most important albums of that decade with Don McLean's American Pie. This HUGE album netted the singer many awards as well as a ton of radio airplay, even to this day with the eight+ minute title track as well as his haunting VINCENT. Mastered from the original United Artists/Capitol vault tapes by Joe Reagoso, this smash album was made for the audiophile domain. We are thrilled to offer this all American classic, restored faithfully with the original artwork too Review ...["American Pie"] is a brilliant song, a metaphor for the death and rebirth of rock that's at once complex and immediately accessible... --Rolling Stone, Lester Bangs
