Legendary Masters Series is the fourth album posthumously released in the US after Eddie Cochran's death in 1960.[1][2] The release featured liner notes by Lenny Kaye.[3] It was described as a "double - disc set [that] presents to the public virtually everything that rocker Cochran put out".[4]

Content

The album was released as a two album set on the United Artists label in January 1972.[1][4] The catalogue number was UAS 9959,[5] and was part of a successful series of budget re-issues by the company.[6][7]

Lester Bangs described the release in Rolling Stone magazine as consisting of "genre pieces are rather uneven but consistently interesting".[8] When EMI took over the ownership of the label towards the end of the 1980s, a selection form the 2 LP set was released on CD as Legendary Masters Series Vol. 1 in 1990.[9][10]
