Oh Boy! - Overdubbed Version

This was recorded June 29-July 1, 1957 at Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico. Background vocals were added later by The Picks (Bill & John Pickering, Bob Lapham).

This was written by Sunny West, Bill Tilghman and Norman Petty. Petty was Holly's producer and owned the studio where this was recorded. He did not drive race cars.

This was released as a single with "Not Fade Away" as the B-side. While this song did fade away, the B-side has become one of Holly's well known songs. It got a boost when it was covered by The Rolling Stones in 1964.
