Sealed 1963 Mono Original. Album Is Sealed In A Second, Loose Shrink Wrap With Original $3.98 Price Sticker Between The Two Seals. “Bobby Vee First Rose To Fame By Stepping In To Take Over Playing A Gig That Buddy Holly Was To Have Played On February 3, 1959, Following Holly's Death; Ever Since, Vee's Had A Close Association With Holly's Music To Varying Degrees, A Connection Helped In Part By Their Similar Voices And Vee's Link-Up Musically With Producer Snuff Garrett, Who Deliberately Chose To Give Vee's Early Records A Sound That Followed On From The Pop/Rock That Holly Was Doing In Those Final Weeks Of His Life. So The Original 12-Song LP Version Of I Remember Buddy Holly Was An Almost Inevitable Development -- That It Holds Up As Well As It Does Is A Tribute To Vee's Underrated Vocal Ability And Garrett's Killer Production Work, Which Successfully Encompasses Pop/Rock, Rockabilly, Straight-Ahead Rock & Roll, And Some Surprisingly Sophisticated Balladry.” – Bruce Eder, AMG
