Another great collection of Rock 'n' Roll, Texas style

"A fine collection from the master. Buddy Holly presents a number of the songs that have made him forever regarded as one of the founders of rock'n'roll as well as the basis of most modern music. A surprise inclusion in this collection is "That's My Desire", a fairly rare track much sought after by collectors over the years. The plane crash left this track as an unfinished performance as it stopped him from going back to finish it to his satisfaction. It is however a gem in its own right and indicates the high standards Buddy set for himself to know he was still not happy with it. If for no other reason, the collection is worth the price for this track alone, however "Early In The Morning" "Blue Days, Black Nights" and other tracks make this CD a positive steal at the price."
