At the end of the 1980s, three school friends from Miami decided to express their enthusiasm for the music of the 1950s by forming a band. The Mavericks featuring Paul Deakin, Robert Reynolds and their charismatic singer Raul Malo were signed to MCA Records in Nashville in 1990, and their second album 'What A Crying Shame' was their breakthrough. It sold more than a million copies (platinum) in the USA alone. This was followed by gold and silver in England for the album 'Music For All Occasions', and winning a Grammy. 'Trampoline', musically the most varied and artistically highest quality album, was also a bestseller; the single Dance the Night Away reached No. 4 in the British pop charts. The Mavericks also gained a steadily growing fan base on the continent. Above all, the distinctive voice of Cuban-born frontman Raul Malo, reminiscent of Roy Orbison, and the extremely powerful rhythm section for a country-oriented band define the sound of the band, which is still active today.
Bear Family is releasing the innovative 'Trampoline' album on vinyl for the first time ever. In addition to the original 13 tracks on the CD, we have been able to find 4 additional masters that were released on a Japanese CD more than 25 years ago. For collectors and fans of special editions we deliver the album in a DeLuxe gatefold cover version, pressed on virgin 180gram vinyl and exclusively in a limited and numbered edition of 1500 copies worldwide.
We are very proud to be able to release this classic of late 1990s Americana and neo-traditional country in this special edition!
