Free Music Notes for Down the Line: The Rarities (Dig) (Slip)Free Music Review: For Buddy Holly freaks mostly Hit: 5 Stars
This CD set is mostly for Buddy Holly feaks. Final, polished recordings are few and far between. But for real Holly fans the unadorned, naked tapes of Holly, his guitar and couple of other musician friends present is a rare treat. That voice of his still sounds as sweet as ever.
Free Music Review: Early Buddy Holly tapes Hit: 5 Stars
This collection of early Buddy Holly tapes provides a look at his earliest attempts at writing and covering others material. One can clearly hear his growth from country western/rockabilly, to his final efforts at softer, quiet ballads. A wonderful insight to his tallents.
Free Music Review: pure sweetness Hit: 5 Stars
The home tape-recordings are precious. . . so sweet, so sweet -- thank you Buddy.
(I downloaded the ones i thought were best from Amazon)
Free Music Review: A great set with horrible packaging Hit: 4 Stars
I agree with all of those reviewers before me who gave this set such a glowing review. It's a great selection of songs and the rarest tracks sound better than ever! However, what none of the others have mentioned is the way the discs are packaged (and the packaging is the only reason I give the set four stars instead of five.)
The packaging has the same dimensions as a digi-pack but there are no trays. The discs slide in and out of pockets in the cardboard sleeves and several others with whom I've spoken have had the same experience as I have - the discs were scratched and/or scuffed "right out of the box." Aesthetically, the carboard sleeves are beautiful with several photos. The insert booklet features a nice bio and session information for each track. With the amount of effort that obviously went into this collection, it's a shame that the packaging offers the discs themselves so little protection.
Free Music Review: hollyhop Hit: 4 Stars
Nice collection showing how Holly & company developed songs. Some are "basement tape" quality, some much better. For the more serious collector this completes whatever hits package you now have.
