Eddie Cochran - Little Lou

Another one of my favourite Cochran tracks, the lesser known Little Lou. Recorded in January 1958, but not released until 1964, on Eddis "My Way" album.

The Crickets - I Fought The Law

A great post Holly track by the Cricket's, written by Sonny Curtis and sung by Earl Sinks, recorded in 1959, released in the UK in 1960,on their album, "In Style with The Crickets". Failed to chart in the UK and US.
Evreyone seems to think the original was by The Bobby Fuller Four in 1965, how wrong they all are!!!
