1 out of 5 stars Buddy Holly and the Picks.......2006-04-09

Extremely disappointing, to say the least. Buddy, of course, is awesome but The Picks are dreadful. Too bad "one" is the lowest rating. If possible, I would rate this CD in the negative. By the way, my CD is in the trash. I recommend you stay away from any CD featuring The Picks.

A true Buddy Holly fan,

1 out of 5 stars I need 20 Golden Greats on CD!!!!!!!.......2005-05-06

You know!...The LP whith Buddy Holly Lives on the cover?? Put it on CD for Gods sake! The Album is # 92 on the Rolling stone 500. Why cant it be on CD??! Instead Rhino Records recommends this Garbage CD. The picks? Who are they? Where is 20 Golden Greats on CD. Geeez, they must think we're stupid!

1 out of 5 stars The Picks Sing Along With Buddy Holly.......2004-05-09

39 Golden Greats is another of the interminable "The Picks Sing Along With Buddy Holly", another version of the same collection of Buddy Holly tracks rendered ineffective by the heavy handed overdubbing of backing vocals by John Pickering and the rest of The Picks which drown out Buddy Holly's performance on most tracks.
I accept that The Picks want recognition for the half a dozen or so early tracks of Buddy's on which Norman Petty used them before replacing them with The Roses but does John Pickering really have to authorise all the different compilations of these tracks under different names so that people step into buying the same stuff over and over again !

This stuff was also released on

The Very Best Of Buddy Holly (no mention of The Picks but they are there) (Metro330)

Sorry Picks but you were never that important in the first place.

1 out of 5 stars A Picks overdub rating 1 because there is no lower.......2004-02-21

This album is once again an overdubbing of Buddy Holly with backing vocals by John Pickering and the rest of The Picks which drown out Buddy's performance on most tracks. Because of the familiarity of most fans with the original versions this adaptation does not work all that well. However it is a different point of view on Buddy's music and as such could be of value to the new buyer not familiar with the brilliant original versions.

I accept that The Picks want recognition for the half a dozen or so early tracks of Buddy's on which Norman Petty used them before replacing them with The Roses but does John Pickering really have to authorise all the different compilations of these tracks under different names so that people step into buying the same stuff over and over again !
