BUDDY  HOLLY  LIVES 

 

THE  COVERS  LIST



Hans, editor www.buddyhollylives.info


        Hello, my friends and comrade music-lovers. 

More than 2 years of targeted research here and there,
as time permitted, went into my putting together this
list of recorded songs, along with their titles and artists.

Decades of published music history from Buddy Holly
and other artists make up this list. The internet is full of
lists, databases, and other forms of information.

However, I have noticed that these lists are incomplete.
Some of these sources seem to have started out with a
bang, but then suddenly stopped before adding the latest
items.

By incorporating my own collection, which because of all
the years and time invested might appear to be quite
extensive, I have attempted to draw up as complete a
list as possible. 

I have thoroughly and painstakingly exhausted all
available and existing information to my knowledge.
Although the result might seem impressive, in actuality
its' completeness is temporary. Only for the moment.

Aren't we all lucky that new songs and artists just
keep popping in out of the blue at random? 

Our smorgasbord is infinite.  'Buddy Holly Reloaded' 
(2010) as well as 'The Baldy Holly Band' (2016) 
are a prime example of what can suddenly materialize
to add a rainbow of joy to our ears and hearts. I'd like

to mention the 'Lee Limerick' YouTube videos from 2019, too.

Whoever wants to contribute and help to expand this
comprehensive Buddy Holly database is cordially
invited and encouraged to send me any information
that you think I should add. 
After all, this is a work in progress. A never ending
story. And I like it ! One last thing. 

If you see a mistake or error that I might have made, I would appreciate your correction with source mentioned, please. 


                        Thank you so much,

                                      HANS

 

                Liebe Freunde der einzig wahren Musik.

Meine gezielten Recherchen haben mehr als 2 Jahre angedauert. Dabei habe ich Jahrzehnte veröffentlichter Musikgeschichte in einer Liste zusammengetragen. Alles, was von Buddy Holly und anderen Künstlern veröffentlicht worden ist. Das Internet ist voll von Listen, Datenbanken und anderen Informationsquellen, die aber fast alle vom Umfang her zu klein, somit unvollständig sind. Viele Quellen haben gut begonnen, dann aber irgendwann aufgehört, Neues hinzuzufügen. 


Ich habe aus allen vorhandenen Informationen eine komplette Liste erstellt. Dazu habe ich meine eigene Sammmlung, die in diesem Punkt sehr umfangreich ist, in die Cover Song Liste mit eingearbeitet (Audiodateien von CD und Vinyl sowie Daten und .mp3 Dateien).



Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen, ist komplett aber nur als Momentaufnahme zu bewerten. Noch heute kommen neue Künstler hinzu, was ich sehr begrüße. So z.B. "Buddy Holly Reloaded" aus Hamburg mit ihrer ersten CD am 1. März 2010. Das ist schon lange her, aber absolut erwähnenswert. Genau wie die beiden CD's der "Baldy Holly Band" aus dem Jahr 2016 und die Lee Limerick YouTube Videos aus 2019.


Wer helfen möchte, diese größte Datenbank der Welt  in Sachen Buddy Holly im Internet weiter auszubauen, ist herzlichst eingeladen, Informationen an mich zu schicken. Dies ist eine nie endende Geschichte, an der ich großen Gefallen finde. Das ist sogar viel mehr, eine echte Herausforderung für einen Fan der ersten Stunde. 

Wer für mich Berichtigungen meiner Liste hat, wird gebeten, dies unter Nennung der Quelle zu tun, damit dies etwas wird und bleibt, das in seiner Art einmalig ist und qualitativ meinen Ansprüchen an dieses Projekt genügt.


                                          Herzlichen Dank !

                                                         HANS
