Somethin' Else: The Ultimate Collection (CD) - Eddie Cochran
All vocal recordings by Eddie Cochran, whether as a solo artist or member of the Cochran Brothers, including his timeless hits, Twenty Flight Rock, Sittin' In The Balcony, Summertime Blues, C'mon Everybody, Three Steps To Heaven, Cherished Memories, Cut Across Shorty and Somethin' Else! Some out-takes are also included! A killer selection from Eddie's instrumental and experimental recordings! Demos, live recordings, and interviews! A selection of Eddie Cochran's work as a session guitarist for Skeets McDonald, Wynn Stewart, Ray Stanley, Lee Denson, Gene Vincent, Bob Luman and Johnny Burnette. An incredible hardcover book with many rare photos, hundreds of label and cover reproductions and a newly researched biography by Stuart Colman, and a discography by Antoon van Olderen with Stuart Colman, Russ Wapensky, and Richard Weize. Eddie Cochran was truly Somethin' Else. He had the look. He had the talent. He had the attitude. He played guitar - really - played guitar. He produced his own records. He wrote his own songs. And he died too soon, leaving the tantalizing promise of what might have been. Eddie Cochran was no prefabricated teen idol. He controlled his music in a way that few early rock 'n' rollers could or did. He lived in the studio and explored it's potential, and, as rock 'n' roll changed, he changed with it. His death in 1960 was a tragic loss. This is the most comprehensive Eddie Cochran compilation ever assembled!
