Buddy Holly/Ritchie Valens/The Big Bopper • The Music Never Died 3CD

Celebrate three of the most influential names in 1950s rock ’n’ roll with The Music Never Died, a three-CD 75-track collection featuring original recordings by Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. The three artists were tragically killed in the plane crash of 3 February 1959, forever remembered as the day the music died. This collection celebrates their extraordinary legacy with a disc devoted to each artist and a wealth of classic rock ’n’ roll recordings.

Buddy Holly's disc includes enduring favourites such as “Peggy Sue”, “That'll Be the Day”, “Rave On!” and “Everyday”, alongside “Heartbeat” and “Not Fade Away”. Ritchie Valens brings the irresistible “La Bamba”, “Donna” and “Come On, Let's Go”, with further highlights including “Ooh, My Head” and “Framed”. The Big Bopper's contribution features the immortal “Chantilly Lace”, “Pink Petticoats” and “White Lightning”, plus a host of lesser-known recordings. The collection also includes Mike Berry's “Tribute to Buddy Holly”, Tommy Dee's “Three Stars” and additional recordings connected with the era.

With 75 tracks spread across three CDs, this is a substantial collection for fans of original rock ’n’ roll, 1950s music history and the artists who helped shape popular music for generations to come.  The Music Never Died is a fitting celebration of three remarkable talents whose songs continue to resonate.
