Buddy Holly is the debut studio album by Buddy Holly. It was released by Coral Records on February 20, 1958. The album, featuring a rare photo of Holly without his trademark glasses on the front cover, collects Holly's four hit singles released on the Coral label; " Words of Love", " Peggy Sue", " I'm Gonna Love You Too", and " Rave On!". The backing group was Buddy Holly's band, the Crickets.
Some re-releases include the tracks from Holly's next single, "Early in the Morning" backed with "Now We're One", and "Take Your Time", the B-side of the single "Rave On".
It was re-released again with different cover art in 2015 by WaxTime Records on 180 Gram Vinyl. This edition included the original liner notes and two extra tracks: "Now We're One" (issued as the B-side of Holly's "Early in the Morning") and "Ting-A-Ling". It also included new liner notes written by Gary Blailock in September 2014. [4] [5]
