• This definitive, remastered collector’s edition contains Buddy Holly’s most famous and essential albums, consisting of his debut LP The ‘Chirping” Crickets’ (1957) and the self-titled ‘Buddy Holly’ (1958). These two masterpieces helped define the exact nature of rock & roll. In addition, 11 outstanding bonus tracks are included.

• One of rock & roll’s greatest pioneers, the legendary Buddy Holly (who died tragically in a plane crash at the tender age of 22) left an impression as deep as if he had been in the business for decades. Holly’s trademark “chord lead” brand of rhythmic guitar playing can be heard in virtually every rock & roll band, and his music was a major influence for such rock legends as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed and Elvis Costello.

• Personnel : Buddy Holly, lead vocal and guitar, plus: The Crickets: Joe B. Mauldin (bass), Jerry Allison (drums). Additional sidemen: Sonny Curtis, Niki Sullivan, Al Caiola, George Barnes (guitar), Floyd Cramer (piano), Panama Francis (drums), Sam “The Man” Taylor (tenor sax), The Picks (backing vocals), among others. Recorded between 1956 and 1958. Original recordings produced by Norman Petty.

• Total Time: 76:16 mins. - 35 tracks - also includes: 16-page booklet, rare photos, vintage visual memorabilia & detailed liner notes.

• “At least the first 40 songs we (The Beatles) wrote were Buddy Holly-influenced.” – Paul McCartney
