Customer Reviews

Ultimate EDDIE COCHRAN Box
This is sweet! His music always gives me a rush and thrill beyond description, as his is the purest of rock and roll ever created, and Eddie recorded the most tender and enduring ballads. He was a great vocalist! And - finally - both versions of "Completely Sweet" on one collection, together!!! Version #2 has always been an ultimate favorite of mine. I just ordered this New 2009 EDDIE COCHRAN STORY 4 Disc Box Set from amazon.co.uk and cannot wait till it arrives! I own the older, original U.K. 4 Cd Box with 87 tracks and this new one includes 134 tracks - I'm too excited to describe the feeling and cannot wait to LISTEN to all his music. Here in the U.S.A., Eddie remains a minor cult artist, but there are many of us fans who have discovered him over the years as the generations and decades pass. For now, I'm rating it FIVE STARS because I know how incredibly great a musician EDDIE COCHRAN was and am familiar with the bulk of fantastic music included here. Eddie Cochran set the standard, as he was the original singer-songwriter-musician well over a decade before it became fashionable in the music industry. His contributions to music are immeasurable and his work continues to inspire many artists and fans everywhere. I'm sure the updated remastering will make his music sound even more refreshing than ever. I will be back here to review the music in this Box soon.***Update 7/14/09: Thank You AMAZON.CO.UK for a very fast delivery of this item! I ordered it on Monday July 6, 2009 and it arrived in my mailbox the following Monday July 13, 2009! Sweet surprise, indeed! That is extremely FAST for international service. The Box Set arrived in brand new pristine condition. The music sounds awesome and I'll be back to followup my review after it all sinks in again, and again - the updated mastering is incredible! Eddie Cochran Rocks!

COCHRAN THE LEGEND LIVES ON VIA THIS EXCELLENT BOX-SET
One of the earliest rock `n roll singers to write his own material, Eddie Cochran was a major influence on popular music during the late Fifties, with his innovative technique of aligning bass and guitar to a common harmonic frequency quickly plagiarized by other pop musicians. His early tragic death in 1960 ensured Eddie reached the league of cult artists and EMI's four-disc set of 134 tracks continues to acknowledge his position in pop history nearly forty years on with pristine remastering throughout the inclusion of songs recorded when he was one of The Cochran Brothers; his transition to solo performer and occasional instrumentalist; session musician, with "live" cuts, alternate takes, stereo mixes and rare recordings added to the brew.

Eddie was equally adept at ballads like HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU and THINK OF ME; easy rockers in the style of THREE STEPS TO HEAVEN, PROUD OF YOU and ROCK `N ROLL BLUES, with out-and-out rock `n roll heavily laid on SOMETHIN'ELSE, TEENAGE HEAVEN and one of his enduring hits, C'MON EVERYBODY. These titles are merely pointers to the catalogue of recordings included in this excellent overview of Eddie's output which have remained fresh despite the passing years.

In my opinion, Eddie's musical expertise fits somewhere between Elvis and Gene Vincent, although I am sure their individual fan bases will take issue with such an assertion. The UK's Billy Fury and Adam Faith were certainly influenced by the prolific recording output Eddie managed to achieve prior to his demise. I'm sure this recommended compilation will do much to extend the Cochran legend and prove suitably irresistible for his fans and others to enjoy.
