1976 Original. Two Small Corner Dings “There's No Denying That McCartney's Acquisition Of The Buddy Holly Songbook Was A Prime Reason For This Collection Of, Indeed, Buddy Holly Covers. But To Dwell On That Is To Overlook The Fact That, Alongside Wildlife, Red Rose Speedway, And Two Or Three Later Wings 45s, Holly Days Sounds More Like McCartney's Original Blueprint For Wings Than Anything Else The Group Accomplished. Laine, Paul, And Linda Alone Feature On The Album, Recorded In The Same Rude Studios (Where McCartney Banged Out His Demos). Holly Days Is Crude, Ramshackle, And Impossibly Primitive, Then, But Its Naïveté Is Its Strength, Its Amateurism Is Its Armor. It's The Sound Of Three Musicians Having Fun With Songs That They Love, Eschewing Effects, Ignoring Mistakes, And Cherishing The Lo-Fi Brashness Of It All. Laine's Lead Vocals Are Excellent, The McCartneys' Harmonies Are Spot-On, And The Musicianship -- Mainly Paul -- Is Supremely Slapdash. The Result, For Anybody Wishing To Seriously Anthologize McCartney's Solo Output, Is An Album As Honest As Any He's Been Involved In, And A Lot More Fun Than Most Of Them.” Dave Thompson, All Music Guide.
