An apparent CD reissue of
the Big Bopper's 1958 LP (though, if the liner notes on Rhino's best-of are accurate, it's missing at least a couple of songs that were on the original vinyl version). The 19-track Rhino compilation has all of these songs, although
Chantilly Lace is apt to retail for a lower price. Which begs the question: If you're enough of a collector to want some
Big Bopper on CD, why settle for half as many tracks just to save a few bucks? ~ Richie Unterberger
