Buddy Holly "Live": the only unreleased "live" recordings of Buddy Holly & his Crickets.[United States] : Cricket Label - originally a vinyl long playing record

Buddy Holly Live appears to consist of the same tracks as the vinyl original (Volume 1), while Buddy Holly in Person (1989) and Buddy Holly / Rare Tracks (1994) include all the tracks from both the original vinyl albums; there are minor differences between the versions.

“Rare Tracks” includes a 36 page booklet, the front cover of which is the front case insert.

There are also the words (verbatim) from each of the 28 tracks, including the newscasts & interviews; unfortunately, these contain several errors.
