jonfender Joined: Mar 09, 2011 Posts: 273 Melbourne FL USA	Posted on Feb 04 2012 10:51 AM I can sympathize w/anyone who has "lost" stuff to 1) Disasters, 2) "Acts of God" & 3) Stupidity. My house was consumed & destroyed by fire in 2006. I lost 80% of everything I had. (Don't hate me)....but, in the 20% that survived blaze...All my guitars & 1 amp, plus "my surf music" collection...(mostly all originals). Other genres of music "melted" everywhere, it seems. After insurance co. re-built my home (& cleaned my surviving vinyl professionally), I have a LOT of surf music....(both popular & obscure on vinyl, CD's & cassettes). (What I thought was "the end" was & is actually "the beginning"). If anyone has any "wants", please shoot me a private message & maybe (or not) we can see if I have it, or, maybe where we can get it. Feel free. Hope this helps. It makes me know I "have an Angel" somewhere to have all the surf music & guitars survive that horrific night. oy Last edited: Mar 10, 2012 08:55:00 Top

HallmarkSweptWinger Joined: Jul 27, 2006 Posts: 1284 Berlinesia, Germanifornia	Posted on Feb 05 2012 02:37 AM For me there are two Holy Grails. The first is the Bambi Molesters "Dumb Loud...", but not the Deluxe, I love the Phil Dirt mix more. It has got more "soul". And another release that I would search for if I hadn`t it yet is "Espionage Garage" from The Saboteurs. The Saboteurs were a Mark Brodie band and they released just this one CD and a 7". The "Espionage Garage" album has a "muddy" sound, that could be a nightmare for studio/recording hifi enthusiasts, but I love especially the sound and atmosphere on this album. Best surf/spy album imo. I remember bigtikidude has got this album, too. — Twang cheers! Ralf Kilauea www.kilaueas.de https://kilaueas.bandcamp.com/album/touch-my-alien Top

Posted on Feb 05 2012 03:13 AM Ralph, yes I do, If you need a copy of that and the 45, let me know. but I'm keeping the real one baby. If I ever seen another one, I will buy it for you, for sure. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Feb 05, 2012 03:13:42 Top

I'm not sure if Hillsdale repressed it or found a secret stash. Great Trashy vocal 45. Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Last edited: Nov 30, 2014 15:35:09 Top

Got it confused with the Phantom 4. Actually, the live CD is by the Phantom Four, not Phantom Frank, and it was - strangely enough - their debut release. It's a recording of their first ever show, which takes some big cajones to release as your first CD! It's quite good, and there are some great songs on it that didn't appear on their proper debut "Madhur". It's definitely worth picking up. Something else I remembered I would like to have is the "Evil a go go" cd by 50 foot combo I have the cdr of the MP3s, but its just not the same. This was my Holy Grail for years until a few months ago when I got a mint copy on eBay. I still can't believe that!

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Feb 09 2012 05:40 AM If that Bomboras eBay loss was last year and it went for $18 or so, sorry 'bout that. Up until last year my holy grail was all three different Jim Messina & The Jesters LPs (The Dragsters and the two different s/t ones). Trey, I'll keep an eye out for you for that Jesters LP. Current holy grails: both Fender IV 45s. Satan's Pilgrims' At Home With LP and Terauchi Takeshi's Rashomon LP (edit) Oh, and The Preps' "Moon Racers" 45, since I got ripped off on Gemm for it a year and a half ago. — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary.
