Review title: DEFACING HOLLY'S BEST WORK Product review: There is no mention of The Picks on the album cover posted here, but this is listed by Amazon as "Buddy Holly and The Picks".If this is with the Picks you should know that...There is no "best of" Buddy Holly with the Picks...For some incomprehensible reason, around 1985-90 someone in authority gave license to a group called the Picks to overdub any and all original Buddy Holly recordings with their vocal harmonies.These modern overdubs of Holly's 1950s classics deface his finest work, and are widely distributed as "Buddy Holly and the Picks".As result, there are surely a lot of people out there who think Holly's band was the Picks, and that Holly and the Picks were not very good (they're not).Buddy Holly was an exceptional artist. Treat yourself to the real thing.

Review title: Time has not been kind... Product review: Book starts off great, then veers down a cul-de-sac. Must have been revolutionary for the time, but it now seems a bit quaint. Not a great book, but easy to read, pretty short, and something that, I guess, should be read. Often compared to 1984, which is an immeasurably better work.

Review title: Everything looked magenta afterward Product review: Used it to calibrate three different monitors - an old 16" Eizo LCD, a Dell laptop, and a Compaq laptop, and all came out looking the same shade of magenta. Just didn't work and had to return it.

Review title: a waste of his time and ours Product review: You know, we all expect there to be a lot of "product" out there--created without any real inspiration or respect for the audience. It's just much more disappointing when it comes from someone that you thought was above all that. Enter this album. Each track sounds like a (very) uninspired first scratch demo that might, with a LOT of hard work, an introduction of creativity, and some top-flight collaboration and production, have become a mediocre song. Really, this is drek. For a player with his credentials, with his well-known post-70s lack of interest in his music career in favor of car tinkering, Jeff would have been much better served if he had simply stop putting out albums altogether and rested on his considerable laurels. "Techno-Beck" is really too kind a title--that idea could conceivable been interesting. This one is not. Avoid!
