"Three Stars" Tommy Dee 1959 with Rare Intro

This record came out in 1959, quickly written, recorded and released after the plane crash that took the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. I probably have about 10 copies of the original release in my collection. This is a later repressing/release, which I cannot identity or find information about. It's not here on KZbin (hence my desire to upload it) and it doesn't seem to be documented on Discogs. This has an exact reprint of the original label although the blue is darker as is the silver printing and it has the raised outer edge typical of a later pressing. I've had this in my collection for probably 25-30 years. Even though the label has the original length of 3:10 on it, the record runs more like 4:54 or there about. It includes 2+ minute introduction which includes interview clips from Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup (who were with Buddy on that fateful tour) as well as a v very quick clip from an interview Dick Clark did with Buddy. Obviously the added intro was done years after the crash. I've always found the intro to be tastefully done and a nice addition to the original. It could well be Tommy Dee narrating the added introduction.
