Review by Bruce Eder [-]
Remember was the last of the posthumous Buddy Holly albums to grace record stores before the revival of interest in his work that swept a new generation, comprised of millions of new listeners, into his orbit and provided the impetus for the wave of historical reissues that followed over the next thirty years. Not surprisingly, as with those early historical reissues, Remember came out in England, where Holly's star shone brighter and longer than it had in America. The first side of the original LP was comprised of various odd sides released during Holly's lifetime that had escaped inclusion on the web of LPs over the decades: the unanthologized B-sides "Lonesome Tears" (from "It's So Easy") and "Fool's Paradise" (from "Think It Over"), the former showing off a chiming guitar solo and the latter a beguilingly innocent vocal from Holly; the Crickets rockabilly oddity "Real Wild Child," credited to "Ivan" and sung by drummerJerry Allison (middle-name: Ivan), with Holly on guitar and backing vocal. Side two mostly consisted of songs that producer Norman Petty finished after Holly's death, including the achingly lyrical late-era masterpiece "Learning the Game," the ballad "That's What They Say," and the R&B-flavored rocker "Reminiscing," a duet showcase for Holly's voice and King Curtis' saxophone. As with almost all every Holly album, Remember has been supplanted by superior compilations in the decades since its release, but it is still enjoyable listening and for all but the most hardcore fans, it's got a few surprises amid the familiar gems.
