Buddy Holly - The Essential Tracks

Double album pressed on 33rpm, 180g Vinyl with Digital Download Code.Buddy Holly's sad and untimely death in a plane crash in February 1959 aged just 22 is one of the great tragedies of modern popular music. We can only speculate as to what he might have achieved had he survived, but his versatility as a performer and songwriter would almost certainly have equipped him to adapt to the changing musical landscape of the 1960's and the oncoming 'British Invasion' that laid waste to so many performers of the Rock 'n' Roll era.Unique amongst his peers, Buddy wrote, sang, and produced his own songs, whilst the line-up of his band, The Crickets, of two guitars, bass and drums set a precedent for innumerable bands to follow. Presented here are 28 timeless tracks on 180gm vinyl over four sides.Free download of all tracks available too.
