Eric records I was blown away after receiving my first three eric Hard to find compact disc. I am a baby boomer and I have been collecting music of all kinds. I mean records, 8 tracks, cassettes, and now compact disc. I have well over a thousand different types of original rock n roll. Now Eric has shown me that there is a company out there that finds the really true memories of the golden days of rock n roll. I have my wish list stocked with stuff I have been trying to find for decades. CONGRATULATIONS ERIC RECORDS !

A Rose By Any Other Name .....

"When Bill Buster launched this mini-series in 2004 my first reaction was, why didn't he just include these cuts in another volume in his ongoing Hard To Find 45s On CD series? He also could have come up with a different cover photo for Volumes 2 and 3. But hey, in the end it's the music and the quality of its presentation that counts, not what he uses as a title or sub-title, as the selections included in each seem to try and follow the themes of "Love Me Forever", "I Got Rhythm" and "A Very Special Love."
As Juliet said to Romeo "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" and here Eric Records offers up 60 more classic cuts in a manner which places them right up there with the best distributors of Golden Oldies anywhere, Ace of London and Bear Family included.
Like the Hard To Find series, this one offers up a mix of fairly common selections with some genuine finds, and in that category I would include Love Me Forever by The Four Esquires, a # 25 late 1957 Billboard Pop Top 100 on the small Paris label with the backing of the Sid Bass orchestra (not to be confused with the later R&B group, The Esquires). Two more would the selections by the two Carrs, Valerie and Cathy (no relation to each other OR to Vikki Carr). When The Boys Talk About The Girls was the only hit for Valerie, and it reached # 19 Hot 100 in summer 1958 on Roulette, with the backing of Hugo Peretti & His Orchestra (of Hugo & Luigi fame). Cathy Carr's First Anniversary, ironically enough, also had the backing of the Peretti orchestra when it made it to # 42 Hot 100 in earlY 1950, also on Roulette. Her real name was Angela Helen Catherine Cordovano.
A discography of the contents is on the back of both the jewel case and the last page of the insert, which also has six pages of informative liner notes written by Greg Adams. All tracks are in stereo except 1 to 3, 6, 7, 13 and 15."
