Golden Greats - Buddy Holly

Advantages: It's Buddy Holly - Enough Said!
Disadvantages: Unfortunately, Buddy's guitar disappears behind the over dubbing

Unfortunately after Buddy's death, his Manager, Norman Petty hired the Fireballs, who overdubbed much of the original guitar and music by Buddy & the Crickets. The result is that the original music is so far back in the mix, they might as well have not bothered! Buddy Holly was without doubt a musical genius, he was experiementing with elementary overdubbing before his untimely and tragic death. Therefore it is a great shame that Norman Petty treated ...
...real Buddy Holly, then there are available collections which have the original undubbed music on them, but you may have to shop around. Buddy's music is far too important and indeed, enjoyable to be treated this way, and you the listener deserve the real thing, rather than a heavily overdubbed version. ...

The Music Died but it lives on

Advantages: A good best of Buddy CD
Disadvantages: I really cannot think of any

...is the perfect introduction to Buddy Holly. It is a must have for any well rounded music collection. It has most of the well known and classic tracks such as "Oh Boy" and "Rave On" and "Heart Beat". To some the tracks may sound a bit dated they are of their time (The late 1950's) but the simple lyrics and Buddys unmistakable voice with his hallmark hic-up sound are timeless moving and very catchy. Buddy was a motivated and ambituous young man who ...
...produced Buddy was ahead of his time producing and writing the tracks aswell as singing and playing the instruments. The tracks are infectous the lyrics - as I have mentioned are quite simple but meaningful. If Buddys life was not cut short so very very young I am quite sure that he would have gone on to produce music and would have had a lot to contribute to the music of today. As it is he was a great influence on the Beatles (You can see the ...

A String of Pseudo Pearls

Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits
Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now

...on soul music. A String of Pearls Going back to my dad’s old Sanyo radio cassette recorder there was a song which was oft played by myself back in 1974 called “Guilty”. Performed by the Pearls I loved it and have vague recollections of a Top of the Pops performance which incorporated judges’ wigs. I have hunted high and low for this clip on the internet and sadly can only conclude it was wiped, as so many “Top of the Pops” episodes were prior ...
...that their compilation CD “A String of Pearls” had to be worth a punt if only to reminisce about my childhood. The album has 24 tracks, including all singles and B-sides the girls recorded. To the best of my knowledge the Pearls never released an album in the seventies so there are no obvious “album tracks” but there are several curiosities if you are familiar with music from the early 1970s. The overall sound is of close harmonies and pseudo Phil ...
