Independently released in 1988
Now available for the first time on CD and Digital Download
Digitally mastered at 24 bit from the original analog stereo master mixes.
Critically acclaimed by the major publications in South Florida in addition to Billboard Magazine
Catchy acoustic pop tunes with memorable melodies, excellent musical performances with a crisp and well detailed production by Robert “Buzzy” Jones.
This EP exemplifies what you can do without a superfluous production budget.
Listen to the upbeat percussion driven track titled: "I'm Falling Behind" or the well vocally crafted pop acoustic "My Marie"
It also includes the very popular original version of “One in a Million” which was later revisited in the 2005 release "Passion Fix"
In addition to the inclusion of 3 bonus tracks from the same time period, this is a "must have" that completes the officially released Peter Betan catalog.

“We recommend Peter Betan’s eponymous 6 song EP…it features an exotic mix of Jazz, Latin, pop and reggae influences.
This guitarist, Singer, Songwriter is a gifted artist who makes truly pretty music from the tender, percussive “All for You” to the intense evocative “One in a Million” – Deborah Russell – Billboard magazine - 1991

"One in a Million" - "A hauntingly beautiful ballad that creates the loneliness of a crisp autumn afternoon with finger picked guitar lines, melancholy flute and aching harmonies in strategic places" - Doug Adrianson - Miami Herald - 1991
