AVID Rock N Roll continues with its Five Classic Albums series with a re-mastered 2CD release starring Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Preston, The Big Bopper & Frankie Ford, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details.
“Carl Perkins: Dance Album of Carl Perkins”; “Frankie Ford: Let’s Take A Sea Cruise”; “Johnny Preston: Come Rock With Me;” “Eddie Cochran: The Memorial Album” and “The Big Bopper: Chantilly Lace”.
A true classic from the man who “gave” Elvis Blue Suede Shoes, Carl Perkins, his brothers and mates rock the house. It’s pretty much a greatest hits album! Eddie Cochran’s tragic early death gives us most of his hits on one great memorial album. The Big Bopper we all remember as one of the guys to tragically die alongside Buddy Holly and Richie Valens in that fateful plane ride. Here’s his contribution to the rock n roll hall of fame. Johnny Preston had a big hit with Running Bear, incidentally written by The Big Bopper (real name Jiles Perry Richardson) and hey, it’s included as a bonus on his second album featured here! Frankie Ford is featured here on his first album release which of course includes the classic Sea Cruise.
