It's Buddy Holly. You don't like Buddy Holly, don't buy this. For the normal people, BUY THIS NOW, use it as a stocking stuffer or Hanukkah(sp?) gift in December.

I love the music by Buddy Holly by buying this CD the quality was very good and the price was right.

Nice Christams present for my daughter, very good condition, thank you! The cover box was slightly cracked, but the CD was in very good condition.

If you are lucky, you have the original 1985 1st pressing of this disc. Not only does this rare and OOP version contain the fantastic studio chatter leading into the gorgeous true stereo sound of track 20, but it also contains a count-in of "One, two, two" by the producer on track 19, another true stereo gem! And I didn't type the quote wrong. To my knowledge subsequent pressings do not have this erroneous count-in on track 19, only the 1st pressing. (I know several other fans who have this CD and their copy does not have the chatter on track 19.) The sound quality of the CD is superb! On tracks 19 and 20, with headphones on, you feel as if you are in the studio with Buddy and the musicians! Tracks 1 through 18 are mono and not as spectacular as hearing the studio ambience on the stereo cuts, but they sound great anyway. The only thing that keeps this CD from being absolutely faultless is the peculiar omission of two true stereo gems, "Raining In my Heart" which is available on a separate MCA CD titled "Vintage Music - Volumes 5 & 6". It too has the producer's count-in, but this time, he correctly counts to three! Also, track 18 "Reminiscing" is in mono on this disc, but it can be found in true stereo on another MCA CD titled "Vintage Music - Volume 17 & 18. Why the stereo master wasn't used here is unclear. Perhaps it hadn't been discovered and remastered at the time this disc was made. Anyway, "if" MCA would have included "Raining In My Heart" in stereo as track 21 on this CD and "if" they would have issued track 18 "Reminiscing" in stereo rather than mono, this CD would have been simply perfect! How much luckier can you get?

All of Buddy's great songs on one CD that won't break the bank. The studio chat on True Love Ways is neat, and one of Buddy's 1956 Decca session recordings appears on this disc too (Rock Around with Ollie Vee). Burned a copy to play and put the original back in it's case and in the CD rack.

This MCA CD, expertly remastered by Steve Hoffman, is the best-sounding Buddy Holly collection I have heard. Highly recommended!
