Information in this E-Book has been accumulated over a period of 50 years reading about, listening to,
playing and finally writing about one of the most influential song writer/ singers, the music world has ever
known.
With his backing group The Crickets, Buddy Holly recorded his first hit in 1957. In 18 months time, he
would be dead, killed in a plane crash. It wasnt because his rise to fame was so short, or how he died,
that he is remembered 50 years on with such admiration and affection; it was because he was so
damned good.
This E-Book includes a list of every recording made by Buddy Holly in both studios and at his home and the homes of his friends and fellow musicians: with links to where you can by all those recordings that have been released. Many of the titles have alternative versions which include those recorded on a tape recorder featuring only Holly singing and playing the guitar. Some of these versions have never been released and most have been overdubbed many times and released on several occasions.
