Description

Eddie Cochran "Perry Como Radio Show" Acetate (APR H-63, 1960). The label for this acetate is dated March 23, 1960, just 17 days before the cutting-edge rocker's tragic death as a result of an auto accident that also severely injured Gene Vincent. The 2-sided 10" disc has Eddie's signature hit "Summertime Blues" from 1958, and a slower tempo tune that's been mostly forgotten by all but hardcore Cochran fans, "Three Steps To Heaven", originally released in 1960. At the beginning of the latter song, studio chatter is included that has Eddie giving some instructions to bandmates. Very cool stuff. Condition: EX 7. From the GRT Collection.
