Rare Decca Records promotional 45 rpm single of Holly’s ‘Modern Don Juan’ single, marked on the label, “Sample Copy—Not For Sale,” and signed and inscribed on the label in blue ballpoint to his friend, Al Bennett, “To Al, Buddy Holly.” Holly presented the record to Bennett at a gym in Lubbock, Texas around 1956. Shadowboxed, matted and framed with two photos of Holly on stage and a descriptive plaque, to an overall size of 32 x 21. In fine condition, with a faint stain touching beginning of Holly’s first and last name, and a bit of trivial wear to label. Accompanied by a 1999 letter of provenance from Bennett which reads, in part: “I knew Buddy Holly back in the early fifties…I was in the Air Force at that piticular [sic] time stationed at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas. I was on the Boxing team at that time I would train at a gym in Lubbock that’s were [sic] I first met Buddy Holly…we became good friends at the time, he was just getting started with his musical group, and he gave his first record that he recorded, and signed his name on the record for me.” Unsigned copies of this 45 are scarce and quite desirable, making a signed copy, with direct provenance, even more so.
