Five years after his untimely death, demand for unreleased Buddy Holly material still remained huge. Showcase includes unfinished Holly tracks overdubbed by The Fireballs and produced by Norman Petty. (UK:3)
"Anyone remotely interested in rock & roll, rhythm & blues, country & western or contemporary pop owes it to themselves to check this out. Even if you've never heard of Buddy Holly, there is almost certainly something in this early rock collection to surprise and delight you."
"This album revived interest in Holly's music and reaffirmed Holly's rock and country roots with some first rate performances of fresh material."
"Rockin' With Ollie Vee is probably the best of the Decca Nashville sessions, and holds up very well as solid, classic rock 'n' roll."
"Shake Rattle & Roll/Blue Suede Shoes/Rip It Up - these '50s standards are heavily overdubbed for punch, and The Fireballs are pretty much on the money."
"This album is worth buying and owning no matter who you are or what kind of music you like. There's truly an impressive variety of material here. And after all these years, Holly's vocals still have that fresh excitement and startling originality of a first class star."
"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."
"These are what I would describe as second tier Buddy Holly songs. That places them above the first tier of many other artists. Some of the songs are outstanding."
