HBkahuna Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 1778 Star, Idaho. Formerly lived in Surf City USA.	Posted on Sep 16 2010 07:11 PM crumble John Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm pleased it's doing that doing well. I'm hearing some rumors about an Eliminators west coast tour that may be in the works. You can sample the tracks at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/eliminators3 Check Track 7 Sonic Blue and 13 One Gun by written by SoniChris.. Album notes: The Eliminators are back with their 3rd CD of rockin surf instrumentals, Room To Move. For close to 20 years, The Eliminators have remained a critically acclaimed Southern California surf instrumental band and Room To Move dramatically drives that point home. This is an eclectic collection of rock instrumentals that transcend a strict surf guitar regimen. While the traditional surf sound is certainly evident here, this release also ventures into the spaghetti western style (Snake Eyes) with elements of the Memphis soul sound (Slick) and even big band instrumentals (Steel Trap, a cover of an obscure Link Wray recording). Joining The Eliminators on this recording is author-guitarist John Blair (who also coproduced). His early band, Jon & The Nightriders, ignited a second wave, or modern school of instrumental surf music, in 1979 and his book, the Illustrated Discography of Surf Music, 1961-1965 is the most comprehensive discography of surf music recordings ever published (now in its 4th edition). The pairing of Blair and The Eliminators Joe Kurkowski combines two of the foremost guitarists and composers in the history of surf-rock instrumental music. Top

I also got the new Surfites, and the Space Rangers'"Ready to Take Off' from Sean at Double Crown. Woo Hoo!!!! Bob — Bob Top
John Joined: Aug 23, 2007 Posts: 596 Monterey County, California	Posted on Sep 17 2010 12:35 AM What's the story with "Steel Trap"? I had never heard of this track. It was on his 1963 LP, "Jack The Ripper" (Swan SLP-510). The track was also included on the 1995 Norton double CD, "Mr. Guitar: Original Swan Recordings" (Norton CED 242). If the CD is still in print, I strongly recommend picking it up. All of the vital Link Wray catalog is there. "Steel Trap" may have also been issued elsewhere. john — www.johnblair.us www.soundofthesurf.com Top
