There are 148 tracks including Eddy's first recording, 'Soda Fountain Girl' by Jimmy (Delbridge) and Duane, pre-Jamie versions of 'Ramrod' and 'Caravan' and a clutch of rare vocal tracks by other artists all of which feature Eddy's unmistakable low-down fretwork. - the fabulous hardback book contains minutely detailed and insightful essays by Rob Finnis and Phoenix-based music historian John P. Dixon together with a full discography by the set's original producer, the late and much-missed Bob Jones. The photos too are beyond exceptional.
