5.0 out of 5 stars Great to hear these tracks on CD in original album format!, 10 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This CD is made up of Buddy Holly's first two albums on Coral records, "The Chirpin' Crickets" and "Buddy Holly" LP's. It's great to hear them on CD as they were originally envisaged by Buddy himself, rather than someone else's compilation! Wonderful nostalgia for those who can say "I was there!", but good for younger listeners to hear the range of recordings (all of them brilliant!) rather than just a "Greatest Hits" compilation. Let's see more of these! Also, there were two vinyl compilations claiming to feature every recording he made, including the choices of later "overdubs". Any chance of a collection like this on CD? Labels please note!

5.0 out of 5 stars Anniversary recommendation, 6 Feb 2005
I am writing this review in the week of the 46th anniversary of Buddys' death. I was delighted to hear Stuart Maconie recommend Chirping Crickets in his radio 2 Essential Collection show last night. In a time when nostalgia is a polished industry, these albums still ring true and alive.Buy and enjoy; and while you are at it buy the movie The Buddy Holly Story, with a brilliant portrayal by Gary Busey. When you watch it, remember that all the songs were played as live by the cast.The final concert performance is exhilarating and moving. These songs will be with me forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Unforgettable Sound Of A Musical Icon, 31 Oct 2006
By AD (the UK) - See all my reviews
Right from the first strains of "Oh, Boy", this CD brings back great memories for me of the late 1950's, the advent of the 45 rpm, and the original sounds of rock'n'roll.

The story of Buddy Holly is one of struggle, the achievement of great success, and then sudden tragedy. It's unbelievable when you think that his recording career spanned less than two years, and I often wonder if he had lived into his middle age, whether he would have gone on to greater musical heights. We'll never know, of course, but who could ever forget when his driving, highly individual style first came on the scene. Holly fixed a Capo to his Fender guitar to create that unique sound, and some of the most memorable rock'n'roll records of all time were to follow.

"That'll Be The Day" was a masterpiece (the title was inspired by a line from a John Wayne film). That chunky, shuffle beat still gives me goose pimples. Holly and his group were capable of doing full justice to "slowies" as well as "rockers", as evidenced by "Send Me Some Lovin'" and "An Empty Cup". "Maybe Baby" was incredibly recorded on portable equipment after hours at one of their gigs, and the full, rich guitar sound made an indelible impact on me as, along with millions of others, I strummed along at home on my £9 Spanish guitar.

The second part of the CD features Holly's first solo LP on Coral, and for me these recordings were just as memorable; Holly's first efforts at double-tracking coming off beautifully on "I'm Gonna Love You Too" and "Listen To Me". The seminal "Peggy Sue" must have inspired millions of budding drummers to emulate Jerry Allison as he pounded his way through. The slower tempo on Fats Domino's "Valley Of Tears" makes a great contrast to the frantic "Ready Teddy". What a great guitar solo he played on "Baby I Don't Care", and the big studio production of "Rave On" showed promise for an even greater future which sadly never materialised.

I could go on waxing lyrical about one of my great teenage heroes, but the best advice I can offer is - go out and buy it, and if you come from the 1950's/60's generation, I'll guarantee you'll be dusting off those old 78's and 45's in the attic, and reminiscing over those great days!
