EDDIE COCHRAN - UK 7” SINGLES DiscographyWith reference to where the tracks can be located on the Bear Family
2009 8CD Box Set “Somethin’ Else – The Ultimate Collection”
Note:
(a) London 78’s and 45’s (1 to 13)
Most UK 78’s credited their catalogue numbers without a prefix (HLU 8386), but the 7”s prefixed the catalogue numbers with 45-.
Most listings have since dropped the 45- prefix, but for accuracy purposes I’ve reinstated the prefix in this discography (it’s what's on the actual records themselves).
(b) Catalogue number spacing
Also some catalogue numbers on the UK 7” singles separated the lettering before the number – some didn’t. For accuracy, I’ve reflected what was on the actual singles themselves – e.g. 45-HLU 8386 and 45-HL-U 8880.
