Eddie Cochran - Greatest Hits
Eddie Cochran was one of the 1950s' most talented rockers, so it's pretty hard to go wrong with anything called Eddie Cochran's Greatest Hits. Unfortunately, this budget-priced compilation is typical of the label's output, featuring only 10 tracks. His four most famous compositions--"Twenty Flight Rock" (the song that literally attracted Lennon to McCartney), "Summertime Blues" (which provided hits for both the Who and Blue Cheer), "Somethin' Else" (the Sex Pistols), and "C'mon Everybody" (ditto)--are here. But Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran features twice as many songs. And why anyone would want Cochran covering Carl Perkins's "Blue Suede Shoes" or even "Long Tall Sally" at the expense of, say, "Nervous Breakdown" and "Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie" is unfathomable. --Bill Holdship more

- Revelation for younger oldies fans
If you, like me, are an oldies fan who was born in the 70s, you probably only know "Summertime Blues" since that's the only track oldies radio really plays. Hearing these songs for the first time is a revelation. It's one thing to know...
