The “slow” version is also on the Stereo LP “Orbisongs” from 1965, so I’ve ‘presumed’ that the “Fast” version (6/21) is therefore the single mix?)

There’s two further versions of “Hallelujah…” – an echoed version with strings which first appeared on the UK’s 1980 4LP box set “20th Anniversary Album” on United Artists ECSP 20 (4/10) and a STEREO version on the UK-only 1984 LP “Portrait Of A Legend” on Rockstar RSR LP 1008 (5/10).
There are 10 versions of the B-side “Little Angel” – the master (3/25) is an overdubbed version of Take 10. The other versions are Take 1, 3, 5, 6 9 and 2 further version of 10 – all are on this box. Also worthy of note is that another version of Take 10 of “Little Angel” (5/11) is exclusive to the Bear Family set – it’s a different STEREO cut to the one that appeared on the Rockstar LP of 1984 (5/9))

The B-side master for “Cut Across Shorty” is a ‘speeded-up’ version of Take 21 – however, the ‘correct speed’ version of Take 21 also appeared on the UK’s 1980 2LP set “20th Anniversary Album”, while a STEREO version of the take appeared on the UK-only 1984 LP “Portrait Of A Legend” on Rockstar RSR LP 1008 - they’re also on this box as 4/9 and 5/3)

NOTES: There were many re-issues throughout the rest of the Sixties and onwards in the USA, but they were more of what went before. It should be noted though that this was NOT the case in the UK where new and unreleased Cochran material was issued by both EMI and the ROCKSTAR label (specializing in both Cochran and Gene Vincent). These are covered in a separate posting following this - see UK 7” singles discography…

GENE VINCENT UK 7” single DISCOGRAPHY from 1956 to 1971 (with reference to the BEAR FAMILY 8CD Box Set “The Road Is Rocky”).

The following UK single discography references the 2005 Bear Family 8CD Box set “The Road Is Rocky – The Complete Studio Masters 1956-1971”.

Although the 134-page hardback book that accompanies this sumptuous box set is extensive, it misses out on a few basic things. There are no LP nor 7" single discographies for the UK or USA - nor is there any list as to where to find these tracks on the 8CDs (should you wish to import them into your computer as such). This list is by way of providing both the track references for the box - and a decent UK discography (the UK LP discography is posted separately).

NOTES on the ENTRIES:
The bracketed numbers after the A and B song titles denote where to find the master track on the box set – for example 1/15 is Disc 1/Track 15.

Numbers 1 to 9 were issued on both 78” and 7” single in the UK as was 16. Numbers 10 to 15 and 17 onwards were issued on 7” single only. On that point - catalogue numbers for the 10” 78”s were CL and for the 7” 45’s were 45-CL. A lot of discographies simply exclude the ‘45’ prefix, but it was there on the originals to differentiate between the 78 and 45, so I’ve reinstated them for accuracy (they’re on the actual records themselves). Pictured below is the 78" of "Be-Bop-A-Lula" with "Woman Love" on the B.

40. Story Of The Rockers [7/14] B: Pickin’ Poppies [7/13]
(1973, Spark SRL 1091)

(The above UK release is represented in the Bear Family box set by both of its American equivalents - Playground P 100 (1968) and Forever FR 6001 (1969). The Bear Family box has included all 4 sides because they’re all different mixes.

The same tracks are on both sides of the American 45’s with the box references being 7/14 and 7/13 for Playground P 100 and 7/28 and 7/27 for Forever FR 6001.

However, it should be noted that the Bear Family discography mistakenly credits “Pickin’ Poppies” on Forever FR 6001 as 7/14 (should read 7/27) and “Story Of The Rockers” on Playground P 100 as 7/28 (should read 7/14)).

Final Notes on UK singles:
The Bear Family box set is subtitled “Studio” masters 1956-1971 - however, for info purposes and with regard to singles, there are live recordings Gene Vincent did with the rock group Kansas Hook for “The Johnny Walker Show” on Radio 1 (UK). They were taped 1 October 1971 (a short 11 days before he died) and three from the five were issued on a 45 in the UK on the BBC label as BEEB 001 in late 1974 - Roll Over Beethoven, Say Mama and Be-Bop-A-Lula. And in 1987, John Peel’s Strange Fruit/Nighttracks label issued a 12” single called “The Last Session” (SFNT 001) which included a fourth track from the live session “Distant Drums”. They are not, however, included in this box - nor are they referenced in the discography.
