The Crickets File 1961-65 sleeve notes by noted Holly historian John Firminger state that the group had more hits without Buddy than with him...perhaps that's cruel since poor Buddy did not have a choice in this matter, and maybe they would have reconciled their differences...but nevertheless it remains a fact. Not all of their Liberty hit singles appear on this album since they had other albums out at the time which concentrated on their "Greatest Hits" but don't be fooled into thinking that this stuff is second rate.
