Buddy Holly and the Crickets recorded "That’ll Be The Day"
in the Norman Petty Recording Studio, Clovis, New Mexico.
The song would be their first hit. A previously recorded
version, on July 22, 1956, was produced poorly and the
vocals were performed differently.
Some of the gear used to record "That’ll Be the Day,"
from top: Norman Petty’s Ampex 350 tape machine,
and RCA 44 and RCA 77 ribbon microphones.
