February 3, 2009, marks the 50th Anniversary of "The Day The Music Died," the anniversary of the crash of the flight that took the lives of '50s rockers Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. Finally, the vault of rare Buddy Holly tracks will be opened wide for this multi-disc set to be released on 1/27/09.

Geffen will release a two CD, 59-song set of rarities that will include a recording by Buddy at age 14 and three more previously unreleased, undubbed recordings with fellow classmate Bob Montgomery. This package, entitled Down The Line/Rarities,
will also include both the entire undubbed legendary "Apartment Tapes" and the undubbed "Garage Tapes," recorded with The Crickets in Holly's family garage. The set is rounded out with outtakes and alternates of familiar recordings by Buddy and The Crickets.
