Cat. No. VV 1037: BUDDY HOLLY ~ MOONDREAMS. CORAL CX-10,044.

USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

BUDDY HOLLY HAD SOMETHING RARE AMONG ARTISTS - AN EVEN PLACID TEMPERAMENT, WHICH MADE HIM EQUALLY AS PLEASANT OFF-STAGE AS ON. ALTHOUGH HE GAVE THE IMPRESSION OF BEING QUIET, HIS PERFORMANCES ON STAGE CREATED JUST THE OPPOSITE EFFECT! HE DERIVED TREMENDOUS ENJOYMENT FROM MAKING LIVE AUDIENCES REVEL IN HIS MUSIC AS WAS EVIDENT DURING HIS TRIUMPHANT AUSTRALIAN TOUR. THE FOUR NUMBERS FEATURED ON THIS EP ARE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE APARTMENT TAPES. BUDDY HAD RECORDED THEM ON HIS HOME TAPE DECK JUST PRIOR TO SETTING OFF ON THAT ILL-FATED WINTER DANCE PARTY TOUR. AFTER HIS DEATH CORAL RECORDS SECURED THE TAPES FROM HIS WIDOW MARIE ELENA HOLLEY (NEE SANTIAGO) AND HAD THEM OVERDUBBED BY THE JACK HANSEN ORCHESTRA AND RELEASED ON THE ALBUM "THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY. VOL. 2". 

THIS EP (EXTENDED PLAY) WAS RELEASED IN AUSTRALIA IN THE EARLY 1960s. THE SLEEVE IS GRADED GOOD. THERE IS MINOR WEAR ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE AS WELL AS SLIGHT DAMAGE WHERE A STICKER WAS REMOVED. THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE SHOWS SIGNS OF MINOR SOILING ALONG WITH RING-WEAR AND BLACK TEXTA WHERE IT IS ASSUMED A NAME WAS WRITTEN AND THE BLACKED OUT. THE RECORD IS GRADED VERY GOOD BUT IT ALSO HAS SOME BLACK TEXTA MARKING ON THE LABEL WHERE AGAIN IT IS ASSUMED A STICKER WAS PLACED WITH A NAME ON IT AND THEN REMOVED ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE LABEL.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1- Moondreams / Learning The Game. Side 2 - That's What They Say / That Makes It Tough.
