The Buddy Holly Tapes

Extracts from the sleeve note:

"Backstage, October 23, 1957"

"Buddy Holly and his group, the Crickets, were in Vancouver on their first international tour. Billed as the Show of the Stars, the ticket included Paul Anka, The Everly Brothers, Frankie Avalon, Buddy Knox and Fats Domino. The Crickets were ushered onstage where they sang and played three songs, bowed and left.

"This album contains a salute to their music and the fun of the Crickets era. The group was never quite the same without the driving creative force of its leader ... therefore what you hear between the interviews with Buddy Holly on this historic package is a diffrent Crickets personnel than offered by the original group. We added the flavor to give the listener a feel for the man and his music."
