Conversation between Buddy Holly and Paul Cohen of Decca from Thursday February 28, 1957 wanting to release his songs they hated and didn’t want to release, but still wanted to hold onto for 5 years. One of them was ‘That’ll Be The Day’ and he went ahead and recorded and released his version against his contract – funnily enough on a Decca subsidiary, and then being signed as a solo artist back at Decca after the hit – the rest is history…
Just think what would have happened if he ‘played by the rules’? (via boingboing)
