Buddy Holly - The Great Buddy Holly (CD)

Originally released as That'll Be the Day, The Great Buddy Holly does indeed boast that landmark Holly hit, as well as nine other tracks of lesser import, notably "Modern Don Juan" and "Rock Around with Ollie Vee." On the downside, this 1958 collection is on the skimpy side (we're talking 10 songs, none over two and one-half minutes long). Still, this is one of the bedrock rockers of all time, so those who are building a Buddy Holly collection will want to pick it up sooner or later. Non-collectors have plenty of superior options, The Buddy Holly Collection providing a particularly brisk jumping-off point.
