Apart from "That's My Desire" which was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York to nobody's satisfaction, the tracks featured on this album are recordings which were made at the Norman Petty studios in Clovis, New Mexico. The album demonstrates that Holly was a capable rocker of the first order and when given studio freedom could make sounds that equal the very best of his early contemporaries. Dates show that while Buddy was having a bad time in Nashville trying to record his own brand of Rock'n'Roll in a Country and Western dominated studio, he was also going to Petty's studio to try and formulate his own style.
    The version of Maybe Baby is an earlier recording more akin to "That'll Be The Day".
    Most of these tracks would be later released with an overdubbed backing supplied by Norman Petty who continued to release Holly albums with "new material" up until 1969.
