Description
The complete album + 10 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl, a Brian Morton 'Number One Essential' Recommendation. This edition contains one of Buddy Holly's most famous and essential albums, his debut LP The "Chirping" Crickets, a masterpiece that helped define the exact nature of rock & roll.The original dozen tracks from his debut album are the equivalent of a greatest hits collection, with signature gems like "Oh Boy!", "Not Fade Away", "Maybe Baby", and "That'll Be the Day", all of which testify to rock & roll immortality.
Holly's ringing guitar and hiccupping vocals drew from a different sensibility than Chuck Berry's blues-tinged playing, but the backbeat and optimism of the lyrics brought them together under the rock 'n' roll banner.
The album's non-hit tracks offer some lesser-known delights. This album, together with the ten bonus tracks, constitutes a true Buddy Holly greatest hits release.
