Song facts

From Club Sandwich N°49, Summer 1988:

[…] The Crickets were chosen to record ‘T-Shirt’ (shortened from ‘Got The T-Shirt’), Jim Imray’s winning song from last year’s Buddy Holly Week competition. The group genuinely liked the song – after all, Jerry Allison had been one of the competition judges-and, if they needed a further fillip, they got it when Paul not only agreed to produce the record but played piano and sang back-up as well.

All this has resulted in a deal with CBS, including an album (T-Shirt) featuring remakes of several Three Piece tracks, the Crickets’ first major label tie-up since they were with Mercury in the early ’70’s. T-Shirt’ comes out on 5th September, two days before Buddy’s birthday and four days before they and Bobby Vee start a new British tour at Bristol […]
