RARE EDDIE COCHRAN
“WEEKEND / CHERISHED MEMORIES”
CRUISIN’ THE 50’S CASB 004
1996 TEST PRESS
10 TEST PRESSINGS were done at EMI in 1996 - 8 copies had labels on but for some reason 2 had none. One of them was sold in 2018 leaving this the last unique copy.
This 78 from Cruisin's Archive has only been played a couple of times and is in excellent condition - it also comes with all the inserts including a copy of Eddy's Union Card!! that would be in a regular issue.
THIS IS THE INFORMATION FROM CRUISIN’ WHEN THE 78’s WERE ISSUED
The records are pressed in heavyweight vinyl on an original 1950's machine at EMI. The lacquers used to make the metal masters were cut on an original 50's mono 78rpm lathe and are complete with a locked eccentric runout groove - this feature is required by early jukeboxes to reject the record.
To create an authentic rich 78rpm sound we were lucky with the help of Abbey Road Studios to track down a Multi Award winning engineer who had worked for many of the UK's leading record labels including Columbia and Top Rank during the late 50's. With his skills and using original equipment we were able to once again produce true 78rpm records of the highest quality.
THIS RECORD CAN BE MIXED IN WITH SHELLAC 78's ON A JUKEBOX WITH A 78 RPM NEEDLE - IT IS NOT AN INFERIOR MICROGROOVE PRESSING.
It can also be played on a Record Player with a 33 needle.
Each record has a hand printed sleeve and is individually numbered. They also contain reproductions of original items - photos, sheet music etc that relate to each artist.
