When Buddy
Holly died, his record label Coral released in the following month, The
Buddy Holly Story, a collection that reflected his music of fast-tempo
singles and love songs. Holly died in a tragic plane crash Feb 3, 1959,
47 years ago. He was a recording artist for only the last three years
of his life. In that short period, he and his band The Crickets managed
only three albums - The Chirping Crickets [Nov 1957], Buddy Holly [Mar
1958] and That’ll Be The Day [Apr 1958] also known as The Great Buddy
Holly. But from the time his plane crashed till now, there have been many
attempts to resell Buddy Holly. But time is running short.
In February 2009,
all of Buddy Holly’s recordings will enter the public domain and
be free to be sold by any music company. Countries which are still governed
by the Copyright Act that limits copyright to 50 years after publication
include Europe and Asia with the exception of those that have signed a
free trade agreement with USA which extended copyright to 70 years.
We have just come
across a 10-CD collection The Complete Buddy Holly assembled in 2005 by
a community of music fans who go by the name of Purple Chick. Its comprehensiveness
rivals the official MCA 6-LP box set, The Complete Buddy Holly, first
released in 1981 and long out-of-print. The MCA set has never been
issued on CD.
Like the official
LP box set, Purple Chick cover the same ground but offer the extras of
alternates, demos, home recordings, live performances and radio spots
that MCA decided to overlook. In general, what you get are Holly’s
Nashville sessions with his friend Bob Montgomery that later was posthumously
released as Holly In The Hills [1965], the demos for Decca, the Clovis
recordings, the first sessions with Norman Petty in 1957 and the sessions
that resulted in the three albums released in his lifetime.
Holly’s final
demos, often called the Apartment Tapes, are also here. These were first
overdubbed by Norman Petty using a Texas band called The Fireballs when
new Holly material was needed.
The extra mile Purple
Chick have taken are to assemble sessions produced by Buddy Holly for
his friends including Sonny Curtis, Waylon Jennings, Carolyn Hester and
Harry Nilsson and also those on which he played in [Buddy For Others Pt
1 and 2]. There are also two CDs worth of songs from Holly’s record
collection, we presume to give the listener an idea of what influenced
Holly. There is also a disc of interviews with Buddy Holly that includes
various newscasts about the plane crash.
Soon a set like this
might emerge as a real product - pressed on silver disc, housed in a jewel
box and with printed covers. But for now, The Complete Buddy Holly exists
only in virtual reality waiting to be downloaded.

Space
here to tell you a little about this collection. Over a year in
the making, we snagged everything we could find from numerous sources,
including What You Been A Missin' and The Music Never Died. One
thing we didn't include was any of the "Picks" vocal overdubs from
the 1980s, frankly because we think they suck. You can find them
on all manner of budget CDs. But you really don't want to. Tracks
making their CD debut include the 7" versions of "Wait Til The Sun
Shines Nellie", "Look At Me" and "Mailman...", and the 50s and 60s
stereo mixes on Disc Nine.
As well as our new, previously unavailable stereo mixes, we managed
to dig out one or two exclusives: "Take These Shackles..." on disc
one is not only upgraded in sound, but appears without skips for
the first time! Also making their bootleg debut (we think) are the
BBC "Maybe Baby" and Florida "That'll Be The Day" fragments and
the first version of "That's What They Say". We're not sure whether
the Hightime fragment is lip-synched or sung live to the record,
but it debuts here all the same.
We did minimal work on the source material if it warranted it -
mostly de-clicking and speed-correction. Also, we fixed the tape
glitch on the Palladium "Oh Boy" and combined two different sources
of "My Two-Timin Woman" to get the longest version in best quality.
When speed-corrected the Vigotone "Last Night" and "Send Me Some
Lovin'" turn out not to be alternate takes, just undubbed.
