History
American Pie was originally released in October 1971 by United Artists Records and became Don McLean's breakthrough album. Its title song, "American Pie," reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972 and became one of the defining recordings of the decade. The song is widely associated with the changing musical and cultural landscape of the 1960s and includes references to the 1959 plane crash that claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. Richardson, known as the Big Bopper.
Another notable recording, "Vincent," was written as a tribute to Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh and became an international hit. The album established McLean as an important figure in American folk rock and singer-songwriter music. This particular record was issued in 1980 by Liberty Records as part of The Rainbow Collection, a series of budget-priced reissues of earlier recordings. Unlike the original ten-track album, this edition contains nine songs.
