Editorial Reviews

Definitive compilation from one of Rock 'N' Roll's early pioneers. In a short period of time, Buddy went from gawky teenage songwriter to one of the biggest stars of the '50s. The amazingly talented guitarist and vocalist managed to create the future of Rock without even living long enough to realize it. His way with a melody and chord structure influenced the Beatles more than any other American '50s Rock performer!. 36 tracks including, 'That'll Be the Day', 'Words of Love', 'Peggy Sue', 'Oh, Boy!', 'Maybe Baby', 'Think It Over', 'Rave On', 'Early in the Morning', 'Heartbeat', 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' and 'Raining in My Heart'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buddy's Best!
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022

Top-notch collection of Buddy's best: 36 tracks of hits, rarities, rockers, ballads. This is the stuff that paved the way for the British Invasion (Beatles, Searchers, Herman's Hermits, Chad & Jeremy, Peter & Gordon), folk-rock (Byrds, Dylan) and the concept of singer-songwriter. Holly had it all: band-leader, singer, composer, accomplished guitarist. Rock and roll never got better than this. Nice packaging! A bargain price!

It's music from Buddy Holly and the Crickets. What's not to love? I got this CD for my dad, since he has not made the digital music leap. It is a great collection! If you are a fan, this "Best Of" will satisfy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best single-disc Holly offering; presentation varies but overall quite good
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2007
This 1999 release is a 36-song sampler of Buddy Holly's best recordings. Unlike some Holly collections, which include an overdose of his earliest, pre-stardom stuff, this material showcases Buddy at his height. You get all the hit singles ("That'll Be the Day," "Peggy Sue," "Maybe Baby," "Oh Boy!," "Rave On," etc.) as well as some good B-sides ("Take Your Time," "Everyday," etc.). The music itself ranges from good-time rock-'n'-roll to catchy pop, to funky rhythm-and-blues to introspective ballads, and Holly does justice to all of it.

Buddy Holly recorded so prolifically that his record label kept issuing new singles for 10 years after his death. One-third of this CD consists of Holly vocals overdubbed by studio musicians and released posthumously. Of his last six compositions (known among fans as "the apartment tapes," because he recorded the demonstration vocals at home), four are included here. "What to Do," "Crying, Waiting, Hoping," and "Learning the Game" are the 1964 versions, with surf-guitar arrangements; "Peggy Sue Got Married" is the 1959 version with backing vocals added. Holly's last single, "Love Is Strange," is also featured here.

Considering that three dozen songs are crammed onto a single disc, the fidelity for the most part is surprisingly good, with a few exceptions ("Peggy Sue Got Married" is muffled, with the last couple of seconds abruptly chopped off).

The price tag for this one disc may be a bit high in some situations; some dealers price it high, so you could get multiple-disc Holly sets for the same money. But if you're looking for single-disc portability and convenience, this CD has the best overall assortment. Incidentally, there is a production error: the track listing in the liner notes cites only 35 songs. So you might call track #36 a hidden "Easter egg": it's "Not Fade Away," the B-side of "Oh Boy!"

For 36 songs on one disc, the sound quality is surprising excellent. In case you are wondering how they manage fit that many songs on one disc, the songs are very short.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compilation au top pour un chanteur qui l'a été trop peu
Reviewed in France on February 12, 2021
Verified Purchase
Il n'a pas eu la chance de chanter longtemps, Buddy Holy, mais il a laissé quelques tubes et une empreinte importante dans le milieu musical. On dit parfois qu'il aurait pu être le vrai rival du King (OK, on a dit ça de 50 autres chanteurs à qui il est arrivé malheur ... mais dans son cas, je trouve que c'est pertinent). Sa voix est magnifique, et en plus, il était compositeur. Alors bien sûr, on trouve son grand tube "Peggy Sue", mais il y a tant d'autres titres merveilleux : "not fade away", "Bo diddley" (reprise de ... Bo Diddley !!!), Heartbeat, It's so easy, etc... Une compilation qui rend hommage à son talent.
