I have that box (The Complete Buddy Holly) as well.When MCA released it they claimed it was everything.Within months they "found" some more material which became the LP "For the First Time Anywhere".Recently someone gave me a 5 CD-R boot set.Seems to have twenty minutes worth of either Radio announcements of the plane crash or Station IDs.However the most interesting thing to me are the multitudinous versions of RnB tunes reworked into a fusion with country music.Holly seemed to really make it work for me,more so than the Everly's or their later imitators The Flying Burrito Bros.As for the oft asked question "What would Buddy have done given the opportunity?" He was working on pop drivel when he passed.If he couldn't get away from that he may have ended up doing the Superbowl halftime show like the rest of the hasbeens.
