Summertime Blues (May 1958)
50th Anniversary

May 1958: EDDIE COCHRAN records Summertime Blues,
Love Again and Lonely at Goldstar Studios in Hollywood,
with Earl Palmer on
drums and Guybo on bass.

In his liner notes of "The 25th Anniversary Album",
Adam Komorowski dates "Summertime Blues" on March 28, 1958,
but almost
all other sources claim that it was recorded in May, including the box set disco-
graphy by Derek Glenister and Darrel Higham's book.

And who did the handclapping? Sharon Sheeley has claimed that she and Jerry
Capehart added handclaps on another mike across the studio.

Capehart says
handclappers were himself, Cochran and Smith.

Derek Glenister writes that the
handclapping is probably by Sheeley and Capehart,
and Higham/Mundy write
that Eddie did all guitar parts and added the handclaps afterwards.

Summertime Blues / Love Again was released on June 11, 1958, on Liberty 55144.

"Lonely" got a UK release as the B-side of "Sweetie Pie", not long after Eddie's death.

"Lonely" and "Love Again" were overdubbed with a chorus in 1960/61 by Snuff
Garrett for the "Never To Be Forgotten" album.
