Remaszterizált DeLuxe Expanded edition 2CD kiadvány, 2019.
The definitive reissues of VALENTINO’S PIRATES, now available on vinyl for the first time since its original release and also as a double CD set featuring the complete 13-song album, plus a 22-track “Naked Pirates” bonus disc.
A long story short: In 1989 recording begins at Daniel Lanois’ Grant Avenue Studio for what will become „VALENTINO’S PIRATES”, under the supervision of producer Gary Pig Gold. Shortly after, DAVE RAVE leaves Canadian proto-punkpoppers Teenage Head and settles in New York City with Gary, where the album was
completed and a band, known as The Dave Rave Conspiracy, was formed alongside Billy Ficca of Television and Lauren Agnelli to perform the songs live. Initially, „Valentino’s Pirates” received a limited, cassette-only release in Canada on the Mole Sound label. Eventually though, through a connection with the mysterious Rudolf Solovyov (owner of the Kismet company in New York), Dave Rave became the first Western artist signed directly to the Russian Melodiya label and the album (reduced to 10 songs, due to timing constraints, plus the Dave Rave Conspiracy renamed the Dave Rave Group to appease wary Soviet sensibilities) was released in
the until-recently U.S.S.R. circa very early 1992.
„One of the most accomplished pop albums of the 20th Century’s final two decades… „Valentino’s Pirates” is a lost – or, perhaps more accurately, unknown – masterpiece of the genre and era, filled with epiphanies both large and small.” – (Stanton Swihart – AllMusic)
