Here's a big tease for the forthcoming announcement that I've been alluding to for awhile now. Test pressings arrived today for BOTH the 12-inch vinyl and CD pressings of the most anticipated J&TNs' reissue from the 1980s. If you look close, you can see what this is. I'll provide more details about this as we approach the official CD release in a couple of weeks. If you're coming to the SG101 Convention in August, you should bring bags big enough for CDs AND vinyl LPs. Exciting days ahead.

Looking forward to this...how it sounds...and how it looks!

Great news! Have the original LP in my collection. Hope for some extra tracks as the original LP is quite short with 25 minutes total playing time.

It's been a long time coming. The original LP was released 37 years ago (almost to the day). For the first time, this LP now exists on CD WITH bonus tracks!! Furthermore, on July 20th, this will also be available as a 12-inch VINYL record, also with bonus tracks and a download code inside the jacket for all of the digital files. Ordering information forthcoming....save your bucks and pray for surf.

Excellent!!!
I have the original record (played it last weekend on Fiberglass Jungle, in fact!) but I’ll be getting the new reissue as well. Bonus tracks and digital downloads for the win!!

The new CD is only available from my website (and eBay) at the present time. Copies will be available at the upcoming SG101 Convention (as will, hopefully, the VINYL release!!). For the time being, though, the CD can be ordered here: www.johnblair.us

Just wanna say I received mine and it is AWESOME. Really took me all the way back to the sheer raw excitement of hearing you guys live back in the day. Really tore the nails right up out of the stage floor, quite something to see. Plus, no clicks and pops from playing the album over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and...
Also totally diggin' the live version of Outer Limits. Which I habitually think of as "Out Of Limits" as done by the Marketts. Guess I'll have to pick up the second edition of The History of Surf Music to understand what's up with the naming difference? I also wore out the pages of my First Edition back then.
At any rate - a big Thank You to you and the whole band!!!

I've listened through track 12(still have to do Bonus Tracks), great playing, CD production, graphics.
Wronski and Watson added a lot to these tracks.
Plan to get a couple more, would be nice if John could somehow sign them if requested at time of order.
Recommend picking this one up, particularly if you like 1st gen. surf.

If someone requests a signed copy at the time of order (there is a comments section to note this when you get to the PayPal page), I'm happy to oblige.

I'm sure if you buy from John at the SG101 con, he will be glad to sign it.
