The California Raisins Sing The Hit Songs LP βινύλιο μεταχειρισμένο 1987

The California Raisins Sing The Hit Songs - the album that was born from the most famous advertising campaign of the '80s in America. The raisins with sunglasses, made in claymation by Will Vinton's studio, became a pop culture phenomenon and gained their own record, TV specials, and animated series.

The record includes covers of major soul and rock'n'roll hits - "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" (the song that established the raisins), "Stand By Me", "Respect", "When A Man Loves A Woman", "La Bamba" - as well as "Sweet, Delicious & Marvelous", the theme song of the California Raisins.

The vocals are performed by Buddy Miles. American release by Priority Records in 1987. A collectible piece for fans of '80s pop culture, hard to find in Greece.
