The ''Alone'' version features some differences from the finished album version. It is in a slower tempo, the melody is somewhat different, and the short synth sections during the verses are different. | The ''Alone'' version features some differences from the finished album version.

"Buddy Holly" was the second single released from ''The Blue Album''. Its initial cover art featured a photo of a very young Rivers with a female friend. Apparently, the photo was used before gaining permission from this girl, and a search for her turned up fruitless. When [[Geffen]] realized they may be in an actionable position, they quickly changed the cover, and a photo of Rivers and his brother [[Leaves]] was used instead. | |||
The incorrect cover only appears on promo copies of the single, except in Austrailia, who rushed a "Buddy Holly" single out so fast, it not only included the banned photo, but no exclusive B-sides. [[Karl Koch]] would later say, "These Austrailians seem to rush into everything." | |||
The retail single utilized live recordings from a November 1994 show in Rochester, New York as B-sides, along with the [[DGC Rarities, Vol. 1|DGC Rarities]]'' version of "[[Jamie]]". | |||
