It had overdubs by Jimmy Gilmer's Fireballs, but nothing beats the acoustic version heard in 'Juno'. Beautiful; as are a lot of those he recorded in his NY apt just before he passed on.

I've read on another forum that they are releasing the "Apartment Tapes" as part of a 3 CD set to mark the 50th Anniversary of Holly's death. I don't know if this is true or not, but I've also read that Holly's songs will become public domain 2/3/09? That may explain the new reissues. The current release date is 2/10/09 as it's been pushed back several times.
