Cover blurb:
"In super sensational stereo, love 'em or loathe 'em, here they
are!
Recorded in Clovis and still awaiting the verdict of Buddy Holly,
thirty five posthumous overdubs engineered by mastermind Norman
Petty for commercial considerations. Featuring - in the absence
of Jerry Allison and Joe B Maudlin - the undoubtedly wonderful
George Tomsco along with his fellow Fireballs ... but as our
buddies over there in lil ol' England would say - it's not Crickets!"
Notes
Track 26 is actually additional to the listing and is the alternative
version of Maybe Baby, with the result that all subsequent tracks
are displaced by one – through to “Holly Hop”,
which becomes track 36, rather than 35.
The confusion doesn’t
end there, though; there are also Tracks 37 to 43, each comprising
11 seconds of total silence. This is followed by Track 44, which
is 2minutes 25 seconds of instrumental featuring piano and guitar
and certainly nothing directly related to Buddy Holly. It might
be some material from The Fireballs - a title
of theirs called “Goin’ Away”, happens
to be exactly that duration. ~ Thanks to John Mathewson
