(Glass Onyon) Who would have thought that Philadelphia record label ItsAboutMusic.com would uncover lost music from legendary Quicksilver Messenger Service lead vocalist Dino Valenti, and the quality would be this good? And when we say "lost" - we really mean it. The tapes used to form this new CD 'Get Together' were found in a storage unit in northern California by some very nice people who just knew that this music was valuable without even hearing the tapes. They figured out how to reach Dino's son, Joli and the rest is history in the making. This CD marks the very first time that a Dino Valenti album offers his own recording of his song, "Get Together" (made more than famous by The Youngbloods). It also features covers of "Midnight Rider" (Gregg Allman) and "I'll Try Something New" (Smokey Robinson) which are both stellar performances. But the true gems on this album are the original tunes that were recorded back in the early to late Sixties. How did this music survive all this time and sound so cool? And since the recordings have been literally lost, it's a question as to who's playing on it besides Dino. Some of the tracks sure sound like Quicksilver Messenger Service - you decide. ItsAboutMusic.com owns the exclusive license to these recordings - thus when you see it for sale anywhere you can rest assured that Dino's family is getting paid. That's most important to us. But when you buy this album on CD at Amazon or any other online store or in any physical CD store, you will find a mailer card inside that (once mailed to ItsAboutMusic.com) will get you a FREE 2nd CD of bonus tracks from this album along with a Dino Valenti button/pin. Here's the cool part - when you buy this CD from ItsAboutMusic.com - you get the 2nd CD and the button with your order. The 2nd CD will be packaged with the full album as a double disc. And when you download the album from ItsAboutMusic.com you get the full 23 songs for one low price.
