About This Item
The complete album + 10 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl - limited edition, a Brian Morton 'Number One Essential' Recommendation. This edition contains one of Buddy Holly's most famous and essential albums, his debut LP The InchChirpingInch Crickets, a masterpiece that helped define the exact nature of rock & roll. The original dozen tracks from his debut album are the equivalent of a greatest hits collection, with signature gems like InchOh Boy!Inch, InchNot Fade AwayInch, InchMaybe BabyInch, and InchThat'll Be the DayInch, all of which testify to rock & roll immortality. Holly's ringing guitar and hiccupping vocals drew from a different sensibility than Chuck Berry's blues-tinged playing, but the backbeat and optimism of the lyrics brought them together under the rock 'n' roll banner. The album's non-hit tracks offer some lesser-known delights. This album, together with the ten bonus tracks, constitutes a true Buddy Holly greatest hits . Album Tracks 1. Oh, Boy! 2.
