BIG BOY PETE - HIS FIRST NOVEL
"The Ice Cream Man"
PART ONE OF A TRILOGY!
Thailand, 1969.
Kala, the 17-year-old daughter of Max’s housekeeper, is now living with Max and his wife Jade since the return of her war-damaged father. Max and Jade live in a mansion, and Kala quickly becomes aware that she is becoming part of an uneasy triangle between Max and his barren and needy wife. Kala is also more than curious about the forbidden Garden behind Max’s home. Surely Max couldn’t have amassed his fortune with his ice cream business. Kala soon figures that the Garden is a front for something illegal. And as she gently weaves her way into becoming Jade’s replacement and Max’s confidant, Kala realizes she is being groomed as Max’s business partner. Then she meets Eddie, a renegade CIA operative attempting to penetrate Max’s cartel while posing as road manager for touring musicians. While war is being waged in nearby Vietnam, it’s Eddie’s job to guide English singer Duke DeLuxe around the various US Air Force bases and clubs in Thailand. Each of them has their own agenda here in the land of smiles. But what will triumph—business, or pleasure?

Big Boy Pete
"Through The Back Door" TT-2206
Price US $12.95
|
The word Creole is derived form the Latin word “creare,” which means to create.
Who else but Big Boy Pete could sneak though the back door into Louisiana’s boondocks and create an entirely new gumbo? A dozen fresh tales set amongst the Creole and Acadian mythologies oozed from his quinine quill.
What better than slave ghosts, voodoo queens, evil curses, riverboat clowns and ragtime party-girls to invoke Big Boy’s seventh sense and fuel his lusty appetite for stories of bewilderment and decadence?
If you’re expecting a traditional meal of cajun or zyedo - forget it. Certainly you’ll hear elements of those genres throughout the album but your psychloretic prince of peculiar has, as usual, stamped his own indelible pawprint of spices all over this feast. Close your eyes and savor them all.

Christmas Skiffle Album ( TT-2204)
|
|
Big Boy Pete and Hilton Valentine
"Merry Skifflemas" TT-2205
Price US $12.95
|
Legendary rockers Big Boy Pete and his old buddy Hilton Valentine (from the Animals) come together to bring you a unique album of Christmas Skiffle songs. A festive blend of traditional oldies and original newbies.
Pete and Hilton first met in 1963 when Pete was playing in Hilton's home town of Newcastle, UK. The previous night, Pete's Gretsch guitar had been stolen and Hilton was trusting enough to lend Pete his own Gretsch Tennessean for a couple of days.
This record was made the old way - with only three days in the recording studio using all analog tape recorders. Everyone playing together and singing at the same time . . .
Fun - Fun - Fun!

Take six parts Bach piano preludes. Frost with 12 original new melodies played on guitar that totally meld with - but in no way compromise the original pieces. Result: Bach as never before.
Has anybody had the audacity to deplume Bach as an indentured servant? With great respect for The Master, Pete’s new compositions leave the Bach underlay completely unblemished. and neither undermine their beauty nor overwhelm their significance.
The album ends with a 18 minute rendition of the Largo movement from Dvorak’s New World Symphony which is played by a solitary guitar - accompanied only by the sound of a waterfall.
