Content
The album was released as a two album set on the United Artists label in January 1972.[1][4] The catalogue number was UAS 9959,[5] and was part of a successful series of budget re-issues by the company.[6][7]
Lester Bangs described the release in Rolling Stone magazine as consisting of "genre pieces are rather uneven but consistently interesting".[8] When EMI took over the ownership of the label towards the end of the 1980s, a selection from the 2 LP set (17 of 30 tracks) was released on CD as Eddie Cochran: Legendary Masters Series, Volume 1 (#92809) in 1990.[9][10]
