The 35 historic tracks that make up this compilation were all recorded in a highly-prolific two-year burst of creativity, between January 1956 and January 1958, by which time both Buddy Holly and The Crickets were established as major chart names.

“The Chirping Crickets” LP included The Crickets’ million-selling singles That’ll Be The Day and Oh Boy, whilst Holly’s eponymously-titled album included his equally successful ‘solo’ hits, Peggy Sue and Rave On.
