I'm Gonna Love You Too/ Listen To Me

It's sobering to realize that this top-notch rocker failed to chart when released, even though it was following up on Holly's huge hit, "Peggy Sue." I suspect that radio programmer confusion over records on Brunswick by the "Crickets" and those by Holly must have played a part. At about the same time this tune came out, the Crickets were having hits with both "Oh, Boy!" and "Maybe Baby." Still, just cause it was overlooked in 1958 doesn't mean it should be missing from your personal collection of essential Buddy Holly! Great B side, too, as usual. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Coral Records factory sleeve. The labels are graded EX, because there's light color fading and very light ringwear (see scan). Although the vinyl is also graded EX because it looks somewhat scuffed, I'm pleased to say that the audio is Near Mint... A gorgeous and big sound (have a listen to the mp3 snippet)!
