“Pesci cut this astonishingly rare album for Brunswick Records in 1968, and, despite his later fame, it’s never been reissued in any format,” Record Store Day says in the online description of the album.
What Does Joe Pesci’s Album Sound Like?
If you find yourself questioning the My Cousin Vinny and Goodfellas actor’s musical ability, Pesci did a stint playing guitar for Joey Dee and the Starliters in the 1960s. The group scored a hit with the song “Peppermint Twist” and was an opening act for The Beatles.
Pesci pays tribute to The Beatles on Little Joe Sure Can Sing by covering “Got to Get You into My Life,” “Fixing a Hole” and “The Fool on the Hill.” The album’s cover lists Little Jimmy Scott and Billie Holiday as Pesci’s influences.
The version of the album being released on Record Store Day will be pressed on orange swirl vinyl. Each of the 1,400 copies will be hand-numbered.
