about me
I started collecting records in 2009 and own around 1,900 vinyl records, mainly from the 1960s and early 70s. I am always eager to get the original first pressing of a record if it is possible and affordable. My special subject are 60s garage and freakbeat obscurities and my focus is mostly on 45s, but also LPs.
And besides records I really like cats :-)email:

Some of you might already have wondered about the title of this blog. I chose this name in honour of one of the greatest rock&rollers in the long row of those who helped to form rock music as we know it today, and who was tragically killed at the young age of 21 in a car crash. His most famous hit was, and will ever remain, the all too well known “Summertime Blues”. He was also resposible for hits like “Somethin Else” and “C’mon Everybody” and his work has been covered by numerous aritsts over the time. The tongue-in-cheek song
might not be as popular as his big hits, but being a huge Cochran fan I like it so much that it became the title or motto of my blog. I’m gonna raise a fuss and im gonna raise a holler!

St. Louis Union: Girl / Respect (1966) 
another british group (a six-piece), but this time a really obscure one. st. louis unions entire work comprises three 45s released in 1966, and this is one of them. their most famous song was a pretty cool cover of bob segers ‘east side story’. here, on their debut record, we also have two cover songs, the a-side is lennon/mccartneys ‘girl’ from rubber soul, the b-side a rendition of otis reddings ‘respect’. both nice but not outstanding (im still looking for that east side story record!), give it a try and tell me what you think. sorry, no cover art this time.
