This will be a retrospective of 12 of the most popular Bullett songs that were recorded during the 70s and early 80s, some by the core group that was together for many years, and some by Dave, Richie, and L.A. or Boulder session players. They want this CD to be a reflection of Dave's vision, their experiences and relationships, as well as the guitar-based rock album that ran up against disco and punk. In fact, several of the songs were cut for record companies. Right place, wrong time, wrong deal. Almost 30 years later, it is the right time and the internet is the right place, and finally, they are ready.   Soon, we will have the physical album for sale at various popular online stores, as soon as a few details are worked out and we are trying not to run into Dave Small's solo album release.  This will be a valuable piece in Dave Small's fans collections, as it shows his roots and the origin of some of the songs he has redone and is gigging on Second Life.

This source material was, in some cases, over 30 years old and not the best; in some cases, cassettes.  The sound quality will vary, but we are very pleased with the results, and a good song is a good song.  Heart and Soul is the oldest and the most damaged, but again, luck was with us.  Someday we hope to locate the 24-track masters and remix them.  But until that day...  We kind of like that this is how they were mixed then and originally sounded, no tricks, so, in a way we like that they are original and relfect the times.  

By the time Dave Small had graduated High School, he had written over one thousand songs. By the time Bullett came together, he was approaching fifteen hundred. To say he was (and is) prolific is an understatement!  By the time the band broke up around 1981, they had a live set list of sixty five original tunes. All except two were Dave's.  

Bullett also opened for or played with Canned Heat, Kenny Rankin, JJ Cale, and Goose Greek Symphony.
