Hardcore fans hated the '60s overdubs. All of the undubbed originals were eventually released.
** In the 1980s, The Picks, a vocal group that provided Jordanaires-like backing vocals on some of Holly's recordings, overdubbed new backing to dozens more Holly recordings. Reaction to these overdubs is very mixed, especially as many of the overdubbed tracks have been reissued without indication that they are overdubs and not the original edits.
