[TJCATLOVER]

Good song. I haven't heard this one before!!!!!!!!

[Danilotempalre]

Better than the shit of nowadays

[0GrandTheft0]

memories of you make me soggy..

[MrAlsby]

what an awesome talent buddy was - sadly i didnt realize that 50 yrs. ago......

thanx buddy.......

[666UFO666]

Classic!!!!



[tfm55x]

Great song. Thanks for sharing!

(One small question. What kind of record player is that? I've seen other clips with that little portable record player playing 78rpm discs -which I have a few of- and I wondered if that little player was easy to come by.)

[101AOK]

If you could send me the BEST recording you have of THIS record and I'll remaster it for YOU. Just you, I have NO interest in doing that for $. I DO have a really personal desire to hear this song in as best sound possible. I have a production studio and would LOVE to have a (direct) copy of this. You Tube is not great in audio sound. Just a thought. Regardless, I enjoyed hearing this to the MAXimum. Thanks, no need to reply at all. Would like it though.

[yerrowcookie]

decca sucks

[pannoni1]

I found a copy of this 45 on a random 1,000 45 record lot in VG++ today, and I payed just $100 for the whole lot! Made my day! I find better chances of finding rare records than I do with coins. Valued at approximately $150-$175, it is now the fourth most valuable record in my collection. And appropriate it is on the eve of the anniversary of that fateful night.

[AtopaMesa]

@pannoni1 -Well if i was a millionaire i'd offer you atleast $1200 for it...thats a gem to have. Too bad I'm not a millionaire so I'll just say congrats on that.

[BXGUY73]

DAMN BUDDY HOLLY IS CORNIE!!!!!!

[greenfish88]

wow. holly's first single, on Decca! nice clear tone too!

[john9944]

There has never been anything like him. His songs have been covered by other artists and have become hits for decades. The first Rolling Stone song was "Not Fade Away." Keith does "Learning the Game" in concert. The Beatles covered him. Linda Ronstadt covered him. Springsteen loves him and now and now 51 years after his death "Everyday" is being used as a cell phone commercial. The music will never die. What we lost was the music that was never written and I cry for the world.

[vandaloco420]

i like how the vinyl stops rite side up

[LucasDeckmyn]

A FIRST record by Buddy H. and the 1956 sound is just perfect !

[ocduff]

A friend of Buddy's at KDAV radio station, wrote this song...Buddy was performing this song in 1955 - really, by the time this record was released in mid-56, this "Elvis" style of rockabilly was gone - the slap bass, the Chet Atkins style guitar (Sonny Curties here, spot on stuff!). Gene Vincent apparently bumped into Buddy in the summer of '56 when Buddy asked for Vincent's autograph - Vincent said "man, I know you! Your song should be No. 1, man!".

[edward21004]

Turntable speed too fast. But dig that great guitar break played not by Buddy but Sonny Curtis.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

I know most Buddy Holly hits, particularly the hits that went top 40, but this one is news to me. It's on a single here in video...so was it classed as a rockabilly song and therefore not played here in the pacific northwest (Vancouver to Seattle). Oh we heard Peggy Sue & Your're the One. This one was also sung by Bob Luman whom I knew for his Private Eye and Great Snowman, but neither are real rockabilly artist as their mainstream stuff was played. Where do you draw the line on r&r ?? THX

[jazzy2blue]

I SEEL ALL THE ORIGINALS ON DECCA SLEEVES INCLUDED FOR THE RAREST AND CORALL ALSO ALL FIRST PRESS..

[JamesTKirkCobain]

What I love about these old RnR records is you really had to have a distinct killer voice to pull them off, there was no hiding, otherwise it wouldn`t work..

[JamesTKirkCobain]

Hey this sounds better than Lady Ga Ga

[centipeeds4always]

@JamesTKirkCobain That's For Sure! Who Needs Lady "Goo Goo" Gaga Anyway?

[rockabillycat1954]

@JamesTKirkCobain EVERYTHING sounds better than Lady Ga Ga. Rockabilly forever!

[bingoace]

@JamesTKirkCobain lol No comparison!!!

[MrBioExplosive]

@JamesTKirkCobain sounds better than anyone....

[bingoace]

@JamesTKirkCobain Who's Lady Ga Ga?????!!!!! lol

[MrFoxhunter123456]

God bless you Buddy,even crusty old huntsman were once young ! You have been with me on and off all my life.

[argenescosesa]

Hoooooo, moriria por escuchar Buddy en vinilo :(

*-*

[silverjag100]

great song , great presentation to see the record Label at the end

[BCboy65]

these lyrics have appeared so many times in songs that followed, no greater tribute.

[mrbobevans]

I love Buddy's music and Dwight Yoakam's. They are the two masters of rockabilly.

[bingoace]

Pure quality. The average length of a song was 2.30 minutes in the old days, but they were crammed with element. As opposed to today's bland pop drivel which droans on for over 5 minutes with no element whatsoever.

[srercrcr]

Rockabilly

[bingoace]

Brilliant. His rarer stuff was the best

[mrbobevans]

@bingoace I completely agree. I wish I could buy some of the rarer stuff.

[mickkey7]

The Nashville guys wanted this as a country song but Buddy insisted on this tempo.

[6Heureka]

Great song from Buddy he lives forever. Thanks for posting

[AjaxEddiefan]

From the Crickets first recording session in Nashville, I think. They also recorded That'll Be The Day in Nashville, but it wasn't arranged the same as the famous hit version they recorded with Norman Petty in Clovis, New Mexico.

[loyboy1979]

The speed is correct.

[suzwill5]

This is too fast.

[mikeystrafford]

true true rockabilly! Go Buddy Go!

Mikey x

You WILL be remembered forever dude

Mx

[wilmaohman]

can't remember ever hearing this one b4.

[sinistar99]

what a sad song.

[loyboy1979]

The rarest record = no 1 rare on buddy holly. had to be pre - ordered specially. Fantastic to see one rolling on the record player fantastic i can only dream of owning one.

[brcr29]

In 1961 i bought the album that Buddy recorded in Nashville,that has this song on it.I think i have everything that Buddy ever recorded.Buddy was a great singer and song writer.

[rockin56]

no matter what comments are made this is class!

[violet121971]

my all time favourite of Buddy's :)

[hegmat]

Very good

[loyboy1979]

;Nice rare record hard to come by in the 500 price bracket yeah?

[acerb45666555]

R.I.P. Buddy Holly.

[Thundercankles]

This is such a beautiful song.

[col1rbtx]

Incidently, this was recorded in Nashville with an earlier version of 'That'll be the Day c.1956'. Holly wasn't taken seriously in Nashville after this 1st effort. Then he & the Crickets re-cut 'That'll be the Day' in Clovis,NM and it became an instant hit. Then Decca jumped on the bandwagon and released this record! Ben Hall was a Lubbock DJ. I'm a Lubbock area musician, so ck out my: 'Rhonny' by Robin Brown (on u-tube, too)

[ChasDarling]

Hm, it sounds better because of the wrong speed ...

[collect45]

It's 5 sec shorter than it should. A littl to fast rec player...

[sirAlexanderthegrape]

buddy ........you leg end!!!!

[xCASSANDRAxGEMINIx]

great song.

[rockamikeee]

buddy holly is better sry. Brian Setzer is real good but buddy started the whole rockabilly thing along with a few other guys way before stray cats were rocking out.

[FastEddietube]

Buddy was not a rockabilly guitarist. He played rock and roll. I understand he did not play the rockabilly guitar part on this song. See wikpedia ....he went to Nashville for three recording sessions with producer Owen Bradley.[8] However, he chafed under a restrictive atmosphere that allowed him little input.[8] .

[dmbnumber36]

Really, quoting wikpedia??? Why waste my time using this as your source? Wikipedia is VERY unreliable.

[mikeystrafford]

Go on.. tell me this aint rockabilly? A

little bit Sun if i may be so bold.

Mega mega mega. Another one i'd love Brian Setzer to do!! (sorry, but he IS my favorite artiste of ALL TIME).

Mikey xx

[68024]

The record player is set too fast.

[EOGGasman]

68024....you got a good ear....it's running at 46.5 RPMs...instead of 45.

[bruce64h]

what a collector's item.

[MROSEN62]

Buddy Holly was such a great songwriter and performer that there is little doubt he would still be making great music today. Who knows what he might have produced over the years.

[LynchburgSourMash]

The real deal. I've always loved the Nashville sessions the most.Many yrs ago i read that Buddy himself, liked this rockabilly tunes more than the rock n roll period later . Songs like this, and etc, rock a bye rock, ting a ling, baby won't you come out tonite, i'm changin all those, don't come back knockin' , ollie vee, etc etc. to be playin and acting out on stage. He are told to been saying thats the style he felt most comfortable with.

Thanks for posting

[fiddlerpin]

Great Record! I think it was way underrated.

Thanks for posting

[Mowac]

Ben Hall, who was a D.J. at KDAV radio and friend of Buddy's, wrote this song for Buddy and he played it for him out in the parking lot of the radio station one afternoon in 1956, Buddy simply responded, "I really like that".

[68ChargerMdM]

wow nice man you are lucky to own an old jewl like that

[rockabillyotis]

Great Fun - This is the real deal! Love it! Nice to hear it on record. Thanks 5*
