Buddy Holly and The Crickets (2) – The Buddy Holly Story

Highly recommended. Remember to hit the mono button on your amp and enjoy true fidelity the way it was then! "Mono" is only printed once on the sleeve not on the record.

MIne has Matrix numbers ending in T3 and T5. Also a green inner sleeve.

Despite being a posthumous cash-in, this is a pretty good Buddy Holly compilation. And it's cheap and common (I bought mine recently in a dollar bin!) so it's an accessible way to get Buddy in original mono with no remixing or remastering.

Love it a real must for any collection a real find

LVA 9105, why doesn't someone checkout cat. Nos. for LVA 9104 and LVA 9106 Might give the year of release as nos. Tend to work consecutively.
This album was releleased in 1959

I have a double album called Oh Boy The Buddy Holly Story. DGL 717/8 I think it is a South African pressing not listed here.

Just an awesome compilation and the original UK issue sounds wonderful!

I have the original mono version of this album but came across this Enhanced for Stereo version in the store. Gave it a listen, and hey, it really sounded terrific. The one I already owned was a well used copy of my mother's from her youth, so, why not get this one too, if not just to compare the difference between the two versions. It would be interesting to know the process in making this into a stereo album as the results are very good, definitely doesn't seem like something they just threw together in order to sell a few more albums when stereo became all the rage.
