Junk and Sale Bin Shop Finds 11 : The Very Best of Eddy Cochran

There are always a lot of seemingly good greatest hits collections junk shop record bins.

That was true when I was in Petone before Christmas.  They were all in good condition but with some of the packages you do not know how good they will be (in terms of real sound not condition)  until you get them home (unless they are marked with that consumer warning K-Tel.  Always avoid those - just bloody awful.  20 greatest hits is a another good warning.  Either of those and you need to be careful not to waste your $2 - both and you just gotta run.  So I passed a few and picked up  a few. All well transferred with good sound and good condition



This one only has 10 tracks (always a good sign soundwise) and may be the best of them all.  All essential Cochran songs and the LP was in good condition.

Summertime Blues (Covered by The Who), Cut Across Shorty (Rod Stewart), 20 Flight Rock (Everybody), C'mon Everybody and Something Else (The Sex Pistols).
