Reminiscing is a compilation album by American singer-songwriter Buddy Holly. The album was released as an LP record in both mono and stereo formats in February 1963 (see 1963 in music).[1] Reminiscing was Buddy Holly's third posthumously released album and the second album to feature previously unreleased material. The original recordings were overdubbed by the Fireballs in 1962[1] and many of the undubbed recordings appeared on For the First Time Anywhere in 1983.[2][3]
