Free Music Notes for From the Original Master Tapes
Free Music Review: Essential Holly.
Hit: 5 Stars
I originally purchased this CD in the mid 80s when earlier popular music was being rereleased in CD format. I was particularly interested in early rock 'n' roll and this "Buddy Holly: From the Original Master Tapes" fit my needs perfectly. I'm amazed in looking over the number of Buddy Holly compilations currently available. I'm not familiar with them and can't make a comparison. However, let me indicate that I've been very satisfied with this disc and see no need to pursue the matter further. If I wanted anything else regarding Buddy Holly, I might get a copy of "The Buddy Holly Story" on DVD. It's quite an excellent movie and depicts his life and the 50s time period quite well.
I was a fan of Buddy Holly and the Crickets and had a number of their songs on 45 rpm records, which are now in bad shape from playing too often on an inadequate record player. It's great to have a compilation album such as this available. To me, it contains the essentials of Holly's music. I particularly liked some of the earlier stuff, such as "That'll Be The Day," "Oh, Boy," "Maybe Baby," "It's So Easy" and "Peggy Sue." When he started coming out with his more advanced stuff, including some with string backgrounds, my interest faded away. The early stuff was the greatest, in my opinion.
This is a good quality recording. The sound is excellent. It's out of print, but good quality new and used copies are still available.

From the Original Master Tapes Poster
Though he was only 22 when he died in 1959, and had a recording career that lasted but three years, Buddy Holly remains one of the most influential figures in rock & roll history. A great stylist as well as ingenious synthesist, Holly forged a sound that combined elements of R&B, country, and pop, but was distinctly his own. To wit: such eternal classics as "That'll Be the Day," "Not Fade Away," "Peggy Sue," "Words of Love," "It's So Easy," "Heartbeat," and "Well...All Right"--all included in this 20-song package. At the time of his tragic death, he was moving in still new directions, hinted here by "Reminiscing" (with King Curtis on sax) and the string-aided "True Love Ways." --Billy AltmanPop Music CDs
