The blurb says: "As well as featuring all of the 1957 recordings recordings
marketed as being by both The Crickets and as by Buddy Holly, Not Fade Away: Buddy
Holly 1957 -The Complete Recordings three CD set also includes a wealth of tracks
on which Buddy and his friends backed other country, pop, and rock 'n' roll singers
in the Clovis studio, along with the soundtracks from TV shows, on-air interviews
and amusingly-tailored promo jingles to massage the egos of various music industry
figures." It's certainly an interesting collection, though some of
it is padding - tracks where you can just about hear him if you really concentrate,
that kind of thing. And I hate collections that say they are complete - I don't
know different, but then, nor do they! But these are mild criticisms; kudos
to them for gathering it all up in a value collection. Go Buy it! Disc
