Holly Days is the second album by singer and guitarist
Background
Paul McCartney's MPL Communications had recently bought the publishing rights to Holly's catalogue,[2] and – Laine told the press at the time – it was McCartney's father-in-law, John Eastman, who suggested that Laine record an album of tracks from this acquisition.[3]
Paul McCartney laid down the basic tracks, including some overdubs, on his four-track recorder. Laine and Linda McCartney added some instrumental parts and all three joined in on the vocals; Laine sang lead and the McCartneys harmonised,
