Originally released on Liberty 55242. I absolutely love this song... the arrangement, the vocal, the crisp guitar bits, the backing vocals, the lyrics... everything! But it just never gets played. (To remedy this, I put a copy in the Classic 45s jukebox some time back... you can take a listen by
following this link.) One of the interesting things about this recording is how much like a Buddy Holly & the Crickets arrangement it seems. It's sobering to recall that "Heaven" was released shortly after Cochran died in a U.K. car crash, which also injured fellow rockabilly rocker Gene Vincent. All of this occurred just a little over a year after Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper went down in that fateful plane crash. No wonder it looked like rock'n'roll was coming to an end in 1960. This is a new copy of the out-of-print Collectables reissue.
