VERY RARE EDDIE COCHRAN TEST PRESSING
“WEEKEND - CHERISHED MEMORIES”
CRUISIN’ THE 50’S CASB 004
ISSUED IN 1996
ONLY 10 TEST PRESSINGS WERE MADE AND FOR SOME REASON EMI PRESSED THEM WITH NO WHITE CENTRE LABELS.
THIS ACTUAL 78 COMES FROM CRUISIN'S OWN ARCHIVE.
IT IS UNPLAYED AND HAS ALL THE INSERTS + A PRE ORDER FLYER
The story behind Cruisin’ The 50’s 78s is featured in an article in the 2017 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 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.
