During their 1958 heyday, Buddy Holly & the Crickets were big in America, and even bigger in England, where their popularity rivaled that of Elvis. Unlike Presley, they actually toured England, spending a month playing a series of shows that were still being written about 30 years later. In the process, they introduced the majesty of the Fender Stratocaster to the United Kingdom, and Holly's music and stage persona went on to inspire the likes of Hank Marvin of the Shadows, John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones. Sadly in 1959, tragedy would strike as Buddy Holly passed away ending the band as we know it. Offered here is a rare vintage ballpoint signature from Buddy Holly on an off-white 5" x 4.5" album page. Easily the finest example we have handled! Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear and minor discoloration. Authenticated by REAL/Roger Epperson with a full letter of authenticity.
