Description: I'm selling my personal record collection in preparation for moving. Holly DaysStudio album by Denny LaineReleasedMay 13, 1977RecordedAugust 1976StudioRude Studio, CampbeltownGenreRock, lo-fiLength29:49LabelEMI Magic RecordsProducerPaul McCartney Holly Days is the second album by singer and guitarist Denny Laine, released in 1977. It was recorded by him with fellow Wings members Paul and Linda McCartney. The album is a tribute to singer-songwriter Buddy Holly and comprises eleven cover versions of songs originally recorded (and in some cases written or co-written) by Holly, most of them lesser-known.BackgroundPaul McCartney's MPL Communications had recently bought the publishing rights to Holly's catalogue, and – Laine told the press at the time – it was McCartney's father-in-law, John Eastman, who suggested that Laine record an album of tracks from this acquisition. Paul McCartney laid down the basic tracks, including some overdubs, on his four-track recorder. Laine and Linda McCartney added some instrumental parts and all three joined in on the vocals; Laine sang lead and the McCartneys harmonised, making Holly Days an unofficial Wings album of sorts. This was also the first time the core trio of Laine and the McCartney's had played by themselves on a studio album since Band on the Run. Due to the rudimentary recording methods used to capture the "Buddy Holly style", only tracks 2 and 3 are actually in stereo.Track listingSide one"Heartbeat" (Bob Montgomery, Norman Petty) – 2:37"Moondreams" (Petty) – 2:41"Rave On" (Sonny West, Bill Tilghman, Petty) – 1:53"I'm Gonna Love You Too" (Joe Mauldin, Niki Sullivan, Petty) – 2:15"Fool's Paradise" (Sonny Le Claire, Horace Linsley, Petty) – 2:46"Lonesome Tears (Instrumental)" (Buddy Holly) – 3:05Side two"It's So Easy"/"Listen to Me" (Holly, Petty/Charles Hardin, Petty) – 3:47"Look at Me" (Petty, Holly, Jerry Allison) – 3:10"Take Your Time" (Holly, Petty) – 3:38"I'm Looking for Someone to Love (Instrumental)" (Holly, Petty) – 3:57PersonnelThis section does not cite any sources.
