Mel, remember on one of your trips to HB, Larry Ellis sat in for a few songs? I don't think I've seen you smile any bigger than that day!

A short but poignant "jam" with Mel made me smile back in Jan. Big Mel fan here.

Does anyone know of a source for a cd copy of "Surf Sensaton"?

I don’t know how reliable these sites are, but they both list the CD as “special order.”

Thanks, I saw those pages and assumed that the websites would simply try to order a copy of "Surf Sensation" from the warehouse / distributor. All evidence seems to indicate that it is sold out (no copies listed at Amazon, ebay or discog). I was hoping that a specialty store like Deep Eddy might have some copies.

Guys, sorry for the delay responding, I've been on the road. I'm not sure if I've got any copies of Surf Sensation, but I do have copies of Surfin at Black Point, Surf Before Sunrise, and Surf! Spy! Space!. At the moment they're all packed up as I'm moving at the beginning of June. I'll check when we're all settled and all unpacked.

Thank you to the guys who smacked on the old hermit crab shell (Ferenc, Danny) to let me know this thread was revitalized!

I think Surf Sensation was one of my first surf albums from when Jake got me into surf music back in the day when that album was new and we were just starting The 'Verb. It is definitely a great album.

I also remember being impressed with how many tracks were on that album.

Thank you Eric!

Surf Sensation is something of the greatest hits off Surfin at Black Point and Surf Before Sunrise, along with a few extra songs that were otherwise unreleased.

Surf! Spy! Space! was later, after I moved to California. Stan-o came out from Montreal, and we made the record with the late great Shig Komiyama.

All great discs! I'll have to give them a spin as I pack orders today. Mel, once you get settled drop me a line and perhaps we can add the CDs to the Double Crown web shop!
