ricky dean

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.2" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"There were many Mexican-American performers after Ritchie Valens that wanted to break into the English-speaking market. Rick Martinez, known professionally as Ricky Dean, was one of them. His Emmy single "Blue Tears"/ Little Girl" was licensed to the Donna label shortly after release in August 1962. Ricky Dean would go on to record additional tracks for Donna before turning up on the Original Sound label in 1967 for the Paul Buff co-written and produced single "Flowers"."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.3" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Ricky Dean's "Blue Tears" captured many of the elements of contemporary Bobby Vinton, but it was a completely in-house production. Ward Allen was responsible for the string arrangement for this original Emmy release."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.7" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Ricky Dean returned to the recording scene in late 1967 to record "Flowers" for Original Sound. Dean and Paul Buff wrote the song, which Paul produced. Allison Buff is the female vocalist and she turns in an excellent performance."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.8" liner notes by Greg Russo:
""I'll Never Love Another" was the other side of Ricky Dean's "Flowers" single for Original Sound. Ricky wrote the tune, and unusually for the record label, it was a stereo single release. Note Allison Buff's Mamas & The Papas-styled backing vocals!"

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.9" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Ricky Dean's "Little Betty Limbo" was written by Paul Buff and was demoed at Pal Studios, but the final version was laid down at Radio Recorders. It was released on Donna as the B-side of "Little Girl." But, that's not the version that we have here. This is a version with additional instrumentation that has never been released."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.13" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"In the more innocent part of the '60s - the pre-Beatles period - songs like Ricky Dean's "Little Betty Limbo" reigned supreme. We've heard an alternate version before, but here is the original single version that was written by Paul Buff. He never received a cent for it, but that will change!"

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.14" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"When you do a recording, you have to lay down a backing track. Paul Buff recorded two backing tracks for his version of Ritchie Valens' "Donna." This volume has the first one, along with the first backing track for Bobby Ray's "Encinada Way." Mono mixes for both sides of Ricky Dean's "Flowers"/ "I'll Never Love Another" single state their case here as well."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.16" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"The inspired craziness of The Tired 4's "Somethin' Stupid" (in its second mix) and Buff's first version of "Funny" is finally grounded by an alternate stereo mix of Ricky Dean's "Flowers" and the second backing track of Bobby Ray's "Encinada Way.""

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.19" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"A trio of Hollywood Persuaders tracks, the album version of "Persuasion," the stereo LP mix of "Tijuana" and the recently released "Cruisin'" are surrounded by The Masters/Chester Martin single-tracked version of "Come Back My Love" and the seventh version of The Buff Organization's "Upside Down World." Cut at the same time as his Original Sound single, Ricky Dean's "Blue Christmas Day" has never been released until now. It was his final recording session."
