Buddy Holly & the Three Tunes

Holly released just three albums during his lifetime, all under different names:  The Chirping Crickets by the Crickets on Brunswick Records in 1957; Buddy Holly by Buddy Holly on Coral Records in 1958; and That’ll Be the Day by Buddy Holly & the Three Tunes on Decca Records, also in 1958.  The latter album was an attempt by Decca to cash in on Holly’s fame by releasing the songs from Buddy Holly’s 1956 studio recordings from his original contract with Decca.
