Very disapointing!

"When a CD series is hyped as much as the British BGO CD label Buddy Holly packages have been, I expect much more. Examples...............

On this CD both "Honky Tonk" and "I Guess That I Was Just A Fool" open with horrible tape warp. As someone who owns mint copies of both of these LP's, I can tell you, there is not any tape warp on the vinyl version openings. Another tragedy, "Gone" has phony stereo seperation. "Gone" was, more than likely, recorded at Buddy's home in late November or early December 1956. Hardly a place equipped with, then, non-existent stereo facilities. Even if, as many believe, the lead guitar part was added a few days later at KDAV Radio studios, it would have been tape added to tape and still mixed down in mono.

My second major complaint is, where are the recording session notes. Where recorded, when recorded, session musicians etc. It is a fact that Buddy's brother Larry Holley (actual spelling of Buddy's family last name) played string bass or rhythm guitar on a few sessions. And, in all probability, it is Larry playing acoustic guitar on "Honky Tonk". I believe those bits of information would be interesting to CD buyers.

All in all, I guess one doesn't have much choice when it comes to finding Buddy Holly on CD. If you're a real fan or a true collector of Holly try to find the original vinyl. It will be worth the time and effort. The session info you'll probably have to find on your own.

"I am a huge Buddy Holly fan and agree with one person who wrote "if I could change one part of the history of rock and roll, Buddy Holly would've never gotten on that plane."This is an EXCELLENT cd..and what a bargain..I never tire of listening to this wide array of Buddy's vision..and what a bonus ...the track of pure guitar rock and soul in " Honky Tonk"..what a treat! The deep vocal range on "Come Back Baby" is haunting and heartfelt..It's all good. Love it !Get it!"
