Album Notes

The AMERICAN PEDDLERS formed in the early 1970's in San Antonio, Texas. Later known as "THE PEDDLERS" this rock and roll band rapidly became the most popular band on the US Air Force circuit. Their popularity with the young airmen soon took them to Air Force Bases all over America. In 1976 THE PEDDLERS put together a 2 hour show called "ROCK & ROLL AMERICA" in conjunction with Americas' bicentennial celebration. The show covered the evolution of rock and roll music from it's beginning in the 1950's to the most current rock of the 1970's.
THE PEDDLERS recorded three albums of original music. Their first album was called "ONCE UPON A ROCK". It contained contributions from band members KEVIN DOOLAN JOE TORRA, GLENN SMITH and AARON BARKER. Recorded at Pecan Street Studios in Austin, Texas this album contains songs such as "YOU GOT THE MUSIC", "EBERLE PARK", and the timeless classic "THE CIRCLE SONG". The second album by THE PEDDLERS was recorded live at various Air Bases across America. Titled "REAL TO REEL" this album contains many live versions of the bands studio album as well as live renditions of some newer material. This recording features the blistering lead guitar solos' of GLENN SMITH and of course the amazing keyboard work of JOE TORRA on " THE CIRCLE SONG".
The final album by THE PEDDLERS was called "SURVIVE". This was a tribute album to all the airmen who made the Peddlers so popular for so long. This album featured songs about "Basic Training" and life in the Air Force. With titles like "YESTERDAY I WAS A RAINBOW", "SURVIVE" and "WHAT STATE ARE YOU FROM" this album soon became the most popular PEDDLERS' album amoung the troops of the United States Air Force. THE PEDDLERS dissolved the band in 1988 and went their separate ways. Although none of the recordings are currently being distributed, I am trying to remaster the old records due to their phenominal impact on the soldiers they touched.

I love the CD. Like the other gentleman who wrote a review, I too purchased the cassette version while in basic training from Apr-Jun 1982. I saw the Peddlers several times at the Chaparral and I enjoyed them so much that I purchased the "album". Over the years the cassette went bad though, and some guys at work and me were discussing old times in basic when the Peddlers subject came up. I went to the web and it didn't take long at all to find you guys. Like I said, I love the disk and have listened to it and shared it with my wife a few times. The one guy (reviewer) said it wasn't very good quality and that there sounded like background noise. Well, that's exactly what you advertised; I only heard it on one song and it was exactly the song you said it was. Thanks for the opportunity.

Memories are great, BUT...

The previous review had it right. The recording of the CD sounded a bit off to me as well. I had originally bought the tape when in BMTS and had recorded the entire tape through a patched together bunch of wires so that I could keep it. At the time, there was no place to get another. The recording that I made sounds better to me, but not sure if it was just because i had been listening to the tape for 20 years or if the CD was different. Either way, it is an outstanding CD if you didn't get one while you were there and an acceptable replacement for lost/dead tapes. The CD Baby service was great and I have nothing but good to say for them.
