Eddie Cochran was a teen idol gifted with photogenic good looks and an overabundance of talent! He breathed life into ‘Tin Pan Alley’ copywriters, composed finger on the pulse songs, he was the consummate performer, an innovative guitarist and entertainer whose recordings have stood the test of time’’. Bear Family in the year 2018 make available Eddie Cochran’s 1957 studio sessions made for Liberty Records. Especially for vinyl freaks we have compiled a 2-LP set in the 10inch format. The platters are accompanied by a lavishly illustrated gatefold sleeve and a large format booklet which contains all necessary information, along with plenty of great shots. These images were made during the recording sessions. During Eddie’s short life only one album was released: ‘Singing To My Baby’. This vinyl release contains these eighteen songs with some minor changes. The album has been reprogrammed for better listening pleasure, and two songs differ to those on the original album; version two of hot rockers Completely Sweet and Twenty Flight Rock are substituted, added to the running order is an undubbed version of the jiving Ah, Pretty Girl (take 19) which is a welcome inclusion, and a blistering live version of Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On from the ‘Ampol Radio Show’which Eddie never commercially recorded.
As usual, Bear Family offer the best sound possible, and the high quality gatefold sleeve and the accompanying booklet are annotated by music expert Bill Dahl, including a full 1957 session discography. A vast variety of stunning photographs of Eddie in the studio surrounded by girls as he records bring an image to life of poise, and should a criteria for cool be required then surely it was Edward Ray Cochran!
The story of Eddie Cochran’s life has been written. Today, Bear Family invites you to a cold drunk, to sit in your favorite armchair and to turn up your hi-fi, listen and soak in the rocking sounds performed in 1957 by Eddie Cochran in the recording studio.
