    Would like to discuss the best cover versions of songs by Buddy Holly and the Crickets. I listened to a good one by the Searchers today (see below). I think some other band from Liverpool did a few Holly songs too. :) Peter and Gordon did a few as well. Which ones stand out for you?

    Back in the late 70's , Denny Laine released an all-Holly covers album called ' Holly Days ' . McCartney plays on a few cuts.
    I don ' t remember much about it but I recall liking it.

    Maybe not the best cover version... but it has the distinction of being the first record I ever bought. :cool:

    Typical 1972 CanCon cheese... but it brings back happy memories of discovering 79 cent Top 40 singles at Zeller's.

    I still have it.

    Are you people kidding? These are good but it astounds me no one has posted The Beatles' cover of Words Of Love:



    Loved it since I first heard it for myself on a copy of Beatles VI my friend bought in 1971.
