Somethin' Else/ Boll Weevil Song

Listening to this great track, I'm saddened by the realization of how much we lost that April day in 1960 when Eddie Cochran died in a car crash while touring England with fellow rockabilly giant Gene Vincent, who was injured that day but survived. "Somethin' Else" was Cochran's last chart single before his death, and it ranks up there with his very best: "Summertime Blues," "Nervous Breakdown," "Twenty Flight Rock"... Clearly, he was still at his peak when he died at 21, and who knows how much more great rockabilly we would now have if he'd lived? By the way, the song's co-writer, Sharon Sheeley, was in the car with Cochran and was also injured that day. This is a first pressing with horizontal silver lines. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Liberty Records factory sleeve. The labels are Near Mint with a little color flecking and a small faint "1959" inked on the A side. The vinyl looks Near Mint overall, with a few light scuffs, and the powerful audio grades Near Mint as well.
