"THREE STEPS TO HEAVEN / CUT ACROSS SHORTY"
CRUISIN' THE 50'S CASB 001 78 RPM
ISSUED IN 1995
LIMITED EDITION NUMBER 064 of 300
UNPLAYED WITH ALL THE INSERTS
The very important first release on the CRUISIN' THE 50'S label.
"Three Steps To Heaven" was originally issued in 1960 and was a posthumous No.1 hit for Eddie all around the world.
This particular 78 number 064 was a Presentation Copy to the late Legendary UK 78 Record Dealer and Jazzman Johnny Hobbs. It is inscribed to him on the rear from Cliff the founder of the Cruisin' The 50's label.
Check out the story behind Cruisin' The 50's 78s in the April edition of the Record Collector Magazine.
***************************************************
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 33/45 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.
