A booklet of seven wallets, each containing a CD; a picture on one side, tracklisting on the other, plus a 20-page booklet.

The booklet contains biog and memories stated to be by Larry Holley - Buddy's older brother. There are also some black and white pictures. These may have come from Larry's book, with or without permission. Who knows!!

This is an interesting set; again, a must for the serious collector. There is much overlap between this set and many other bootlegs; indeed, each disc states in large letters "Tex-Mex Music Company Presents The Buddy Holly Showcase".

Sadly, the tracklisting above is the total information supplied; no dates or details, no explanation of the apparently random order of the listings.

Discs are numbered 1-7 and TMM 3-2-59-1 to TMM 3-2-59-7; while the collection is dated 2000, each disc states 1995.

The Buddy I Knew may still be available at TCL Imports
