Album Notes

DOUBLE CD SET - 41 TRACKS -
8 PAGE BOOKLET.

Among the very first inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in January 1986, along with Elvis, Jerry Lee, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Ray Charles, Buddy Holly has come to be known as one of the foremost performers and innovators of the first wave of rock 'n' rollers in the 1950s, even though his actual recording career lasted less than three years before being cut short by his death in an horrific plane crash. Perhaps revered even more in Europe than in his home country, singer-songwritermusician- producer Buddy inspired The Beatles and the Rolling Stones and their like much more than even Elvis ever could.

This compilation features the complete 1956 recordings of Buddy Holly - his first as a solo artist - and includes all the surviving masters from his three Nashville sessions for US Decca, together with his first demo sessions cut at Norman Petty's state-of-the-art recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico, and home recordings from Lubbock. In addition to Buddy and his usual cohorts, such as Jerry Allison, Sonny Curtis and Don Guess, the tracks also include the accompaniment of the famed Nashville "A" Team, boasting Floyd Cramer, Harold Bradley and the always superb Grady Martin.

A Remarkable Statement
author: Carl M. Nielsen
                            
This two-cd-set is a unique chance to hear the early more rough - and more like straight rockabilly - recordings of Buddy Holly. You'll find important elements of his later style in theese recordings, but indeed some big differences. For rockabilly purists I guess this is more "the thing". On the other side it might disapoint some who are more into the polished side of the 50's music. For devoted Holly fans it is a must. And I would say it is too for anybody with a serious interest in music from the 50's. Both historical and musical it is fascinating listening to theese recordings. Buddy Holly step by step inventing the Buddy Holly style, and making some real good music while he does it. 
Only one original album was released in Holly's lifetime: "The Chirping Crickets". In this cd-set you'll find a collourfull, cathy and educative overture to "The Chirping Crickets".

Best Buddy Holly CD if interested in his undubbed performances
author: Ken Edmondson
                            
The songs are as clear as you can get for demos done on tape and acetate.  Just a well done and put together CD.
