The 50th Anniversary Last Performance: The Surf Ballroom Winter Dance Party, February 2, 1959
$12.97
WOW! All I can say is ...WOW !!!!

23 songs on this momma and they are the type of songs that I have searched for on other compilations and ....... here they are!!!!!!

Ever since I heard the story on the Coast to Coast radio program with George Noorey a few days ago, I couldn't wait to get my copy. Lucky for me, I have two car hop places to dine at during the summer....so guess who's going down to Burgermaster with this cd cranked up???

The likes of "Chantilly Lace, Donna, Peggy Sue, Come On Let's Go, Shu Bop, Teen Angel and That'll Be The Day", are all favourites of mine since dirt, and the rest of the songs fill in the cracks----another hit by Recall Records, if not their best so far..!!

I sure hope that everyone who loves the old music will pick up a copy of Recall's latest offering, this is just great!!

The Day The Music Died: The Last Tour Of Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens
$17.95
The Day the Music Died is quite frankly, to date, the most touching, comprehensive, detailed and complete account of the ill-fated Winter Dance Party tour that Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P.(The Big Bopper) Richardson embarked on in January 1959, which resulted in the well known plane crash that took their lives, as well as that of the young pilot, Roger Peterson. It tells the story of each of the singers--wildly popular Buddy Holly, age 22, young Richie Valens, who was touring with his chart topping hit, Oh, Donna, and the Big Bopper, of Chantilly Lace fame. The Winter Dance Party tour became a grueling road trip from hell, as the singers were booked on ancient (even for 1959!) buses that broke down, had no heat, and allowed for little or no rest in-between gigs. Author Larry Lehmer has done an outstanding job of recounting the trip with a comprehensive view of the individuals involved. It gives an excellent feel for the personalities and the events involved, particularly for someone like me who was only a couple of months old at the time of the crash. There are several excellent bios of Holly and Valens out there, and they also do a good job in recounting the entire lives; The Day the Music Died concentrates on the Winter Dance Party and the crash and discusses the various theories involved as to what caused it.

The author has done an amazing job of capturing the essence of the persons involved, as well as the sequence of events leading up to The Day the Music Died.

The Day The Music Died, (In Memory Of)
$9.99
Hi folks,
On this cd we tried to capture the full essence of a true memorial to The Big Bopper, for those that knew him and for those that didn't. The Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson), was at the top with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, when on February 3, 1959, the entire country seemed to fall apart as the news (the first track of the cd) came across with the announcement of the death of the three biggest Rock and Roll stars had been killed in the tragic plain crash.

0We have worked for months to bring you this treasured music in one cd. It contains every known recording by the Bopper and a couple by Ritchie and Buddy. The songs are:
02. Three Stars by Tommy Dee...3:15
03. Chantilly Lace... 2:21 (these are all by the Bopper, until number 23).
04. Big Bopper's Wedding...2:11
