Free Music Notes for Not Fade Away: Complete Studio Recordings & More

Free Music Review: Almost surely, the last comprehensive Buddy reissue...
Hit: 5 Stars

I've been a Holly fan since he was alive. I still remember listening to the 45 rpm record my friend Billy Hartz played for me one afternoon after junior high: "That'll Be the Day" by Buddy Holly and the Crickets, on the Brunswick label. He had a photo of the group, and we quickly saw, with pleasure, that Buddy looked more like "us" than Elvis. He also had an article which revealed that the group was from Lubbock, Texas, and recorded the song in Clovis, New Mexico. My, they were exotic places to two kids living in central New Jersey! I never dreamed that in 1974 I'd move to Hobbs, NM, just a little over a hundred miles from Buddy's hometown and Normal Petty's Clovis studio. The other reviewers here have covered the music on this huge set better than I could, so I'll say relatively little about it. My son gave me the music from "Not Fade Away" as a Christmas present. Since I don't have the packaging, book, photos, legacy liner notes or session liner notes, I can't comment on those aspects of this expensive product. (I'd love to have a copy of the session notes someday, however. Maybe someone who reads this review can contact me and we can negotiate a deal just for that piece of Buddy's history.) As to the music, here you get everything that Buddy meant to record or preserve, from his early teen experiments to Texas studio demos with friend Bob Montgomery, to his solo sessions in Nashville for Decca under the misdirected guidance of producer Owen Bradley, to his famous hits and best efforts with the Crickets, done in Clovis, and finally to his solo tracks in New York City after his marriage. And then, there is more...you get posthumously overdubbed tracks, a great many of them because after Buddy's death his surviving tapes and masters were handled by three different producers at least, including Petty, who for my money did the best job, although no one knows whether Buddy would have agreed. Other reviewers have noted that the choice of the producers for this set to run three versions in a row of some songs does not make for the most satisfying casual listening. I agree, but this box was not created for the "casual" fan. There are plenty of "Greatest Hits" packages available for total pleasure Holly tunes. Buy this effort only if you really are a fanatic like myself and most of the other reviewers who have posted. Ten years ago, my son also gifted me with the famous "Complete Buddy Holly" box, on cassette, and that has not only most of the best that is on "Not Fade Away" (largely in single versions) but some interviews, and some live songs, and several records Buddy produced for others, including Waylon Jennings first two efforts. Those are worth having, so really dedicated Hollyites need both. Sadly, that 1979 set is on vinyl or tape from collectors, but not on CD. If you are still reading this, you really like Buddy, so I want to urge you to consider a trip to Lubbock and Clovis. The Norman Petty studio is still on Seventh Street in Clovis, just 100 miles northwest of Lubbock. Call the Clovis Chamber of Commerce about who to contact for tours. The owner inherited the place from Norman's widow, Vi, and inside are Norman's original speakers from the early '50's and original microphones, and the organ heard on "Take Your Time" and the celeste heard on "Everyday." There are scores of records on the walls, representing songs made there but released mostly by major labels via Petty's NYC connections. Roy Orbison recorded "Ooby-Doo" here first, although the hit version did not come until he moved to Sun Studios in Memphis. The famous Elvis song "Blue Christmas" was first demo'ed here, because it was written by a West Texas boy. Waylon's first songs were done here, produced by Buddy. The building has a fascinating history and seems filled with cheerful ghosts. I first toured it ten years ago, guided by Robert Linville, who with his partner Dave Bingham, were "The Roses" one of several Clovis groups used for backup vocals by Petty. (The Crickets did NOT sing on the records.) Four years ago I had a second tour, this one by Dave, the other half of "The Roses."
Paul McCartney filmed a documentary on Buddy partly in this studio in the 1980's. This spot, to me, is an American cultural treasure that should be permanently endowed for the benefit of rock and roll fans.

In Lubbock, there is a Buddy Holly museum, which contains scores of music business-related items, a lot of Buddy's personal possessions, and most powerfully, his wallet and glasses retrieved from his body after the plane crash. You can see the outside of his parents' 1958 home, in which Buddy and Maria were married, and the inside and outside of the church hosting his funeral, and his grave. At the right time of year, one can also go inside the Fairgrounds Coliseum, where Elvis did an early concert, and the not-yet-famous Buddy is shown in a photo among the crowd of fans surging toward him in the lobby. There are other Buddy sites as well. Lubbock pretty much ignored him until his death in terms of newspaper or television coverage, but now there is a statue of him near the Texas Tech campus. He never went to college, but his high school is still there, too.

I was the perfect age and had the perfect life status to become a Buddy Holly fan from the first hearing. About 12 when "That'll Be the Day" made him a star, skinny and ugly and totally untalented and mostly unhappy, his hits really grabbed me in the heart and brain and have never let go: "Oh Boy" and "Peggy Sue" and especially "Rave On" and "Everyday" but all the rest as well. (I was in the same audience as the real Peggy Sue at the Clovis Music Festival one year in the '80's as we listened to the original backup singing couple who did most of The Crickets songs if the Roses did not get the job. And in the Petty Studio there is the gold record awarded in 1982 when "Everyday" finally sold a million copies on its own.)

Enjoy the music. A lot on this enormous six-CD set will not be on your playlist on a regular basis, because the hit versions are clearly superior and polished and commercially pleasing. But to follow the tragic Buddy from age 12 until his death, and his numerous posthumous releases that went through the hands of others in the hopes of making more money for his labels, producers, widow and blood relatives, is an interesting journey indeed. I have a good son, who made his dad very happy twice by feeding his Holly habit. I hope Buddy, in his eternal life, somehow knows that he has never been forgotten by legions of lonely kids who got hope they too, could be successes in life in spite of not looking like movie stars or sounding like the rock idols of their teenage years.

Not Fade Away: Complete Studio Recordings & More Poster

The great and highly influential Buddy Holly had a relatively brief three year professional recording career. However, because of his enormous talent, enthusiasm for music, and the fortunate emergence of recording tape while he was quite young, we have been left with a vast recorded legacy of 203 tracks that fill out the six CDs of this new limited edition Hip-O Select box set, "Not Fade Away/The Complete Studio Recordings And More."

The 203 tracks range from his earliest recordings when 12 to 15 years old to demos with Bob Montgomery; from his earliest recordings with The Crickets and a set of garage recordings to his first studio recordings for Decca in Nashville; from the Coral and Brunswick recordings and hits that made him famous to his heralded apartment tapes. There are 6 previously unreleased tracks, including most of an August 1955 session, plus another 11 recordings previously unreleased in the U.S. Furthermore, all of the original, locatable undubbed original recordings are here as well as all 57 of the overdubbed versions recorded both in New York City and Clovis months and even years after the "day the music died." Many of these recordings are also hard-to-find or are making their CD debut, having only appeared on the 1979 LP/cassette box set .

The music on "Not Fade Away" is packaged in a yearbook size 80 page book, featuring numerous rare photos and session-by-session recording information. There are also two sets of liner notes: "Legacy" by Billy Altman, which puts Buddy's career in perspective, and "The Music" by Bill Dahl, a lengthy tome that traces the music session by session. Consultant for this project is noted Holly historian Bill Griggs, with special thanks to Maria Elena Holly. "Not Fade Away" was produced by Universal's Andy McKaie.
