Buddy And The Crickets

Not in any way related to Buddy Holly and his group "The Crickets."

In regard to the release in which this artist is credited: This volume has something even rarer - both sides of a late 1962 Pal acetate from the unknown group Buddy And The Crickets (of course, not related to the late Buddy Holly's group!). Frank Zappa, in his first production role, was involved with both tracks. The group was a little rough around the edges, but the unmistakable FZ production greatly raised their quality. The instrumentals recorded were a cover of the Ike And Tina Turner hit "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" (released in July 1961) and Wayne Shanklin's "Jezebel" (popularized by Frankie Laine). Many thanks to Don Weddle, who found the acetate in a thrift shop in Alta Loma, California!"
