I’ve been a fan of Righeira ever since first hearing “No Tengo Dinero” in the mid-80’s. It got a U.S. release on A&M Records. I once read in an old (large) CD catalogue that their debut LP got a CD release in Germany, on Teldec. It’s going on 20+ years, and I’ve still never seen a copy.

And I guess the 2^nd album “Bambini Forever” never came out on CD. I just love that album. It used to be, each summer I would make a new cassette of it, to play while I drove around all summer. Now, I have an MD of it that I keep handy. And I love their 12” singles!

I saw Johnson Righeira turn up on a Montefiori Cocktail CD. Camp Italian kitsch never goes out of style (if it was ever in style).

Where are the Righeira CD’s???
