It's taken 46 years for Buddy Holly's debut LP to finally get treated with some real respect by its U.S. label in England, where they've treated Holly like a rock & roll god for 50 years, there's been an upgraded version of The "Chirping" Crickets out since 2000 on the BGO label, and this U.S. reissue sounds even better than that one did, albeit only slightly. The album originally appeared in November of 1957, at a time when rock & roll LPs were still a relative novelty and good ones few and far between, especially once you got past Elvis Presley's output. The "Chirping" Crickets wasn't quite a match for Elvis' best work in terms of sheer power or boldness how could it be, when Elvis had a million dollars worth of record company support from RCA (when RCA was one of the biggest labels in the world). The 2004 reissue puts every nuance of playing and singing off the original in high relief almost a "3-D" sound on Holly's lead breaks and some of his more dramatic vocalizing and also adds the stylistically compatible "Think It Over" and "Fool's Paradise," recorded five months after the latest songs on the LP, plus a pair of tracks, "Lonesome Tears" and "It's So Easy," from the following spring.
