Pac-Man Fever original Album [vinyl-rip 1981] - Buckner and Garcia

[@oldiesmusic76]

Yes, the ORIGINAL versions!!

[@elvisbrod9206]

I'm only 15 years old and this album is already my favorite of all time.

[@MrRezRising]

OMG, I still know the words to almost every song! It ain't Rush, but to a 12 year old in 1982, this was almost a primer for rock music. Zep came later, but not by much.

[@paullee9397]

I just got 40 years younger listening to this. Boy, this sure brings back memories.

I wonder why Space Invaders wasn’t on this album. They released that song later. My favorite on this album is Do the Donkey Kong. That keyboard solo is chefs kiss

[@kevinnorth1224]

Thank you so much for ripping that shrink wrap! That was the opportunity of a lifetime, to take a mint condition LP and essentially digitally re-master it with modern equipment on the very first play. I'm listening to it right now, and it sounds totally amazing. The Pac-Man and Retro Gaming community will forever be in your debt.

[@Krullmatic]

Ah! Ode to a Centipede! Such deep heartfelt emotion! This is probably my favorite on this album! Edit: I forgot how badass that guitar solo was! I'm gonna have to try and learn it.

[@MrRezRising]

I unironically agree. Reminded me of Asia (the band). I'm sitting here singing lyrics I havent heard in 40 years and not missing too many words. It's like when Jim Ignatowski on Taxi discovered he could play classical piano.

[@paullee9397]

Yes, it's a cute song lyrically but his comments now that I hear them 40 years later are a little creepy lol. Sounds like he belongs in an insane asylum ha ha. Still, a classic album!

THANK YOU *VERY VERY MUCH* for uploading this Arcade Games Superb Album from Buckner and Garcia, mister ! Your FIXED VERSION and all the extras you put in are absolutely *AWSOME* and an *Invaluable Master Piece* for all 80´s music Collectors. When I was 18, a friend came from the States and told me about a Musical Band that made songs for Arcade Games. At that time, I was a fan of arcade games and spend hours and hours at the arcade gallery playing games like Pac-man, Spacer Invaders, etc. Because in those years we didn´t have Internet, but only local TV programs, we have no chance at all to meet this Band or any other. Until today, more than 30 years later, I was finally able to know and enjoy the songs of this *incredible musical band* *THANK YOU SO MUCH* for that. Greetings from the other side of the world !. This is John from Santiago de Chile, South America. Cheers and thanks !.

[@MrDuneedon]

Thanks so much for this...I own the original vinyl, too, but...it's in rough shape! It's really a shame that the original version of this album never had an official CD/digital release, and that anything you find these days is the remake/re-recorded version. That said, however, the "30th Anniversary" edition, released in 2012, is worth a listen for the interesting commentary that Jerry provides for each track.

[@Mrshoujo]

Pac Man Fever original single was released on KTel's Kooky Tunes CD. Otherwise the rest on the re-recorded CD sound the same.

[@MrDuneedon]

@@Mrshoujo I mean, yeah. Generally speaking, everything sounds pretty close. Of course, the vocals have been completely re-recorded, and some of the sound effects were lost (or had to be redone). Nothing compares to the original release.

[@mattbroussard9070]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I was fortunate enough to find this on vinyl (in excellent condition) many years ago in its original sleeve, but I've since misplaced it. Most uploads of this record are of the remake that B&G made in the 90s. It's so good to hear the original again!

Got this album for in '82 from my parents as a Christmas gift. I was 11. I never stopped playing it.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

You're so lucky. My experience of it was because of Rock Band Network.

[@DJSLICE1994]

I was pretty lucky my father was a DJ back in the day and he belonged to a record pool (A record pool was like a membership for DJ's only. They actually would have DJ use only printed on them.) therefore he would come home with a box of records and listen to get the BPM's and write it on the record then take the ones he thought would work in the club. Then I would tape the ones I liked before he would take them to work. And the ones that became popular that I didn't have I would make a list of which one I wanted and he would bring them home for me to tape. I would have songs before they became popular and before my friends could buy them. A lot of my friends would ask me to make tapes for them. It became my hustle. The 80's had some great music!

[@-RandomBiz-]

[@Scott-DJ]

This is awesome. What you didn't mention is Sony would not give B&G the masters of the original release once the fad faded and it went out of print...so they had to re-record it and that's the only version available. I too had the original vinyl and played the crap out of it... it's great to have these FLAC versions available. By far my favorite song on here is the last track...Goin Berserk.

[@annamay2921]

I can too.

[@VektroidLive]

As a 1992 baby who'd only heard this LP for the first time a couple years ago, I'm here to say all of these songs still slap. It's definitely not just your nostalgia drawing you back to this thing IMO. You can tell they really cared a lot about the quality of this thing even if they were totally "having fun with it" by any conventional standards. I can only imagine how stressful it must've been for these guys to see how quickly the tides shifted with rock music production throughout the early 80s & attempt to adapt - trying to ride that wave at all just seems like it must've been a complete nightmare for any musician trained on/rooted in 70s rock, I don't envy it at all. It's just like the whole sense of inter-generational alienation we encounter in the present day; the constant pressure to forsake your long-term investments in the name of "the shiny new cutting-edge thing" seems less and less like a new trend the more I think about how it must've been making this album. Must not have been easy in 1980-1981 to give yourself the space needed to deliver substance across a full LP (versus just nailing a couple singles) when music production technology (and as a result, music culture as a whole) was moving at such an unprecedentedly rapid + unpredictable pace. I suuuuper don't envy the reliance that artists had on their labels to get them studio time back then. That stuff really just makes me shudder. Like, trying to pace yourself in that situation while also abiding by deadlines just seems like it could get real agonizing REAL quick. I dunno, I guess I'm just really proud of these dudes for putting their back into every song on here no matter what. Is it a hot take to say the B-sides are my favorite part of this album by far? Like, say whatever you will about the "novelty" factor of this album - there is a *shocking* lack of corniness in these melodies when you compare it to a lot of popular music from '81 lol. Maybe I just have an extra bad taste in my mouth from stuff like Star Wars Disco (granted, not from '81, I know) but the lack of bloat/tonedeafness on this thing honestly feels like a huge accomplishment. An album like this should not "logically" be as tasteful as it is, you know? It just seems like they cared a whole lot about defying those odds and refusing to take the piss, and very few things make me feel more inspired/vindicated as a working artist honestly. Anyway, thanks for reading. Sorry for being a music snob in Pac-Man Fever KZbin Comments Section™ My discussion question for y'all: If the 1983 video game crash hadn't happened, do you think we would've seen more B&G albums? Do you think this sort of music would've still fit into an 80s pop culture where video games stayed strong for the whole decade? I think I just really want to hear what they would've done in a post-Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" landscape, but I really can't help being a bit curious either way.

Still have the cassette tape I bought in 1982. Sadly, it got highly magnetized over the years and makes the most ungodly squeal when you try and play it.

[@Mrshoujo]

That squeal isn't from being "magnetized." The tape needs dried out.

[@spetragl]

@@Mrshoujo If the tape is indeed dried out, it may become brittle. But if you want to add some more life to it, disassemble the 2 halves carefully saving the brush and little roller wheels ; they always fall out. Now put a little WD40 on a Q-tip and rub it under each Tape Reel; but never put it on the tape itself. Re-assemble and now the Reels should spin a bit better.

I've not heard this before. Maybe tiny clips of it in TV news reports about Pac Man Fever that I saw back in the day, but I never had the record. It's pretty funny. The band playing in these songs is actually pretty good. The lyrics are silly but then it is about arcade games.

I played the crap out of this record when it came out in the 80's. My brother and I fought over a copy for years! I put my "Property of Sam" sticker on it and assumed ownership of his' old record. Later, he wanted it back. So, I went on eBay and bought another copy for myself without the awesome, "Property of Sam" sticker so it wasn't as valuable to me. This record rules! I have all the lyrics memorized and sing it anytime I see one of these old time classic games. I wish they'd re-release it on CD. I am super thankful it was uploaded here. Thanks a million for doing this. BTW, Donkey has a skip in it. :( Oh well, typical vinyl burn. Take care, Sam.

Excellent transfer! A lot of KZbin posts of this were made with cheap USB turntables featuring ceramic cartridges - so cheap, that the ceramic cartridge isn’t even properly loaded which results in that harsh and bass lacking quality. What’s your setup? I find the first song to be a bit hard to track as far as the s-sounds go. I can hear just a tiny hint of sibilance where he sings “Cause Pokey's too slow, and Blinky's out of sight”, but otherwise it seems like you have your cartridge alignment spot-on! I’ve never gotten that to track just right either, but still I’ve heard other KZbin videos where it was much worse and the sibilant s-sound was all over the song.

[@zazelby]

The video game section of most toy stores was a lot larger than they are today. In the late 1990s/early 2000s Toys R. Us dedicated a good quarter of their floorspace to their video game section (I got most of my NES games from Toys R Us), the front half of Kay-Bee was devoted to them, even Lionel Kiddie City had a whole aisle before it went out of business, . There was also Babbages and Electronics Boutique (later renamed EB Games) and FuncoLand. In the 1980s, you could even find games at record stores sometimes. (Sound Odyssey used to have a whole Atari section) Video rental stores got into the act for a while (great place to buy used games, but they often also sold games new). And of course the non-chain stores; I can remember none of their names, but there was one really nice place near me where I bought Dragonball Z Super Butoutden 3 for SNES. My mother's then-boyfriend even owned one in the 1980s, too, where we got a few Atari games for $15 each (Kangaroo and Pole Position). ... basically, there were *loads* of places to buy video games before Gamestop took over and effectively became a monopoly.

They aged so much better than their contemporaries, like R. Cade and the Video Victims (Ms. Pac-Man, Defender Contender, Scramble, Frenzy) and Digital Air (Dig Dug, Berzerk), where they often didn't even bother to learn the enemy names, even when they were right on the screen. (Digital Air called Fygar and Pookas "dragons" and "balloon-man" respectively; R. Cade called Evil Otto "the bouncing ball" and thought Ms. Pac-Man was Pac-Man's sister). Buckner and Garcia actually played the games and talked to people who played the games, making sure they got the terminology right. Unfortunately, Buckner and Garcia then fell victim to the same lack of research later on, with Pokemon Fever, which refers to Ash as a "Cyber-cop", mixes up English and Japanese names for towns, and explicitly calls Misty a Pokemon.
