Album Description

One of Rock and Roll's first "legends" Eddie Cochran was an early performer of rockabilly music and one of its most exciting and dynamic guitar players. Over the years, Eddie's records have remained popular and is now recognized worldwide as one of the most important figures of pre-Beatles music. This 2 CD collection features the hits 'C'mon Everybody', 'Weekend', 'Summertime Blues', 'Sweetie Pie' & 'Somethin' Else' among others. EMI Gold. 2005.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars 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....
