It’s hard to believe that Ritchie Valens was only seventeen when he died in that fateful plane crash along with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. He had just charted with the two-sided hit, “Donna” and “La Bamba.” His first album, released on Del Fi Records in 1959, is worth up to $200.00 if the back cover correctly lists his hit “That’s My Little Suzie.” But, if the back cover incorrectly lists the song as “I Got a Gal Named Sue,” then the value jumps up to $400.00 today.
