Five 45 rpm records of Holly’s singles from the personal collection of his wife, Maria Elena Holly. The group is highlighted by his first major hit with The Crickets, ‘That'll Be the Day / I'm Looking For Someone to Love’ (Brunswick 55009, 1957). Also from his time with The Crickets is ‘It's So Easy / Lonesome Tears’ (Brunswick 55094, 1958), as well as solo releases, ‘Early In the Morning / Now We're One’ (Coral 62006, 1958), a blue label promo copy of ‘True Love Ways / That Makes It Tough’ (Coral 62210, 1960), and ‘I'm Gonna Love You Too / Rock Around With Ollie Vee’ (Coral 62390, 1964). Three are in their original paper sleeves. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from his wife, Maria Elena Holly. This selection of records encompasses Holly’s brief career and offers a sampling of the profound influence he had on popular music—the 1957 Brunswick recording of ‘That'll Be the Day’ has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and placed in the National Recording Registry, in addition to being named one of the top 40 songs of all time by Rolling Stone.
