Highest chart positions:  Safe to say that this didn’t hit the charts

The record has three tracks from Eddie Cochran’s first recording session and one demo track.

Eddie and Hank performed as “the Cochran Brothers”, though they were not related.

After they split in 1956, Eddie moved on with rock’n’roll and Hank stayed with country and became a quite successful country singer and songwriter. He co-wrote Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces”, which reached #1 spot in US Country in 1961.

List price:  UK release, hence not in the catalog. With the picture sleeve this would go for about 15-20 € in eBay.
