I paid for the darn CD, I should be able to rip it...........2006-05-22
OK - three things you need to know about this CD:
1) It is easily the best concise collection of Eddie's music - 40 well-selected tracks, sharply remastered, and nicely packaged (though poorly annotated).
2) It's a sweet deal - two CD's for around 10 bucks.
3) It is copy protected which - on my Mac OSX computer, at least - forced me to use a player contained on the CD itself and prevented me from ripping MP3 versions for use on my iTunes or iPod. That, as Eddie once sung, gave me the rock and roll blues.
On the merits of the music alone, 'Best of Eddie Cochran' rates 4 stars - really great stuff, but most of it falls short of the brilliant standard set by classics like 'Summertime Blues' or 'Something Else.' Then, I docked it one star for the copy protection....

Gone Too Soon.......2007-02-03
As usual, it was a particular song that led me to buy this CD. Because, you see, Eddie Cochran was before my time - his music that is. His career went from 1956 to 1960 and that was before I started listening to music.
The song I was interested in is "Summertime Blues". I've heard Blue Cheer's version from 1968 and The Who's live version from 1970, but Eddie co-wrote the song in 1958. I wanted to hear Eddie play and sing it. I was surprised how thin the recording is - just the guitar, bass and drums - and Eddie's voice. He had a strong voice and was masterful and quite innovative in his guitar playing. It's a good song and worth the price of the CD by itself.
Listening to all of the cuts, you can hear influences such as Rick Nelson, the Big Bopper and especially Elvis - all his contemporaries. There is lots of backup singing and hand clapping, but only one cut has a saxophone. His cover of a Ray Charles song on cut 13, is highly orchestrated and enjoyable. Only two cuts are slow songs. Several songs are very forgettable, but then you have cut 11, Twenty Flight Rock, which is tied to Paul joining the Beatles. I didn't like cuts 5 and 10, and cut 18 sounds way too much like cut 1.
Eddie not only recorded, but has had small musical parts in several movies. Mostly he was just a really talented fifties rocker. He was unique and had a wonderful energy. But now his songs of adolesence are frozen in time. He died in a car crash in 1960 at the age of 21. Imagine what might have been.
One of the rock'n'roll greats.......2005-04-13
After a few years of rock'n'roll, American pop music went through a mellower phase with Pat Boone among its leading stars. This may explain why Eddie, a brilliant rock'n'roll performer, was ultimately more popular in Europe than his homeland.
Eddie's first single, Skinny Jim, failed to chart but he made the American top twenty with his second single, Sitting in the balcony. Following that, Eddie had a run of singles that made little impact until he recorded the song that he is best remembered for, Summertime blues. Most songs about summer are joyful and happy but this bluesy rocker was something different. It made the top ten in America and the top twenty in Britain.
So far, Eddie was more successful in America than Britain but his next single, C'mon everybody, made the top ten in Britain but was a much more modest top forty hit in America. Next came Teenage heaven, which just made the American top hundred but didn't chart in Britain. After that, Something else made the British top twenty but was only a minor American hit - it was also his last American hit.
His British hits continued with Hallelujah I love her so (a cover of the Ray Charles classic), which in turn was followed by Three steps to heaven. This was his biggest UK hit, going all the way to number one. Seventies rock'n'roll cover specialists Showaddywaddy almost repeated Eddie's achievement, taking the song to number two in 1975.
Eddie continued to make the UK charts with Sweetie pie, Lonely, Weekend (a top twenty hit), Jeannie Jeannie Jeannie and My way (no, not THAT song), this last hit being in 1963. Subsequently, Eddie only entered the UK charts via re-issues of old hits - Summertime blues, a top forty hit in 1968, and C'mon everybody, a top twenty hit in 1988. The 1968 re-entry of Summertime blues explains its inclusion on so many UK sixties compilations.
This compilation contains all the essentials by one of the rock'n'roll greats who was a major influence on those that followed.

Eddie baby........2005-05-02
Eddie Cochran was one of the greatest performers of the early days of rock and roll. This CD offers 15 songs that prove it. They are all good, but I do have one minor nitpick about it. The songs are in mono, except for one song, which is "Three Steps To Heaven". It would have been better to have the whole thing in mono, to keep the whole album uniform. Plus the song sounds better in mono. It was recorded in primative two-track stereo, with Eddie's voice on the right side and everything else on the left side. Here is the track listing for this CD:
1 - C'MON EVERYBODY
2 - TWENTY FLIGHT ROCK
3 - THREE STEPS TO HEAVEN
4 - SUMMERTIME BLUES
5 - DRIVE-IN SHOW
6 - NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
7 - JEANIE, JEANIE, JEANIE

perfect collection of Eddie Cochran's singles........2005-06-21
The Best of Eddie Cochran (1985) (EMI) is one of the better collection of Eddie Cochran's singles. If you like rockabilly or old school rock then you'll dig this disc. EMI had put out a
nice CD featuring Eddie's best tunes (Somethin' Else, C'Mon Everybody and My Way to name a few). Filled with catchy gutiar riffs and a foot stomping beat, you can't go wrong with this disc!
Highly recommended.
