Raw Holly (New York Public Library) - 1971 - Raw Holly
Raw Holly is a tribute album of sorts to Buddy Holly hits by the British band Raw which was produced by veteran British musician Miki Dallon and featuring the vocals of Ian Campbell and the guitar & sitar of Zed Jenkins. Ironically, the album was released on Holly’s U. S. label Coral Records. (Jack Dominilla)... The album was recorded in 1969 in Central Sound, Denmark Street. Miki Dallon was the guy who did the record deal with Young Blood in UK and Coral in US. He had nothing to do with the recording. A court case ensued and the album was released under the name of Raw Holly. As a Band "Raw Holly” does not and never did exist. The band, New York Public Library and Andy Curtis produced, arranged and played on the album.(Morrison)... The new NYPL line-up recorded an album of Buddy Holly songs, but contractual difficulties and court orders ensued. Without any say in the matter, the album was released as "Raw Holly" in 1970 in the US and Germany.(NYPL website) 01 - Raining In My Heart 02 - Baby My Heart 03 - Little Baby 04 - Well All Right 05 - Love's Made A Fool Of You 06 - Rock Me My Baby 07 - Midnight Shift 08 - Maybe Baby 09 - Listen To Me 10 - What To Do 11 - Not Fade Away LINK
