What are some recent additions to your not-so-common collection? Would love to see what y’all got out there! Top

Maybe the most under rated first wave band of all time. And the Astronauts - what else can you say - I love those guys. Great pic! Very cool. — "You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" Top

TOS are certainly overlooked quite a bit and that sucks because they were one of the “cooler” sounding groups with truly powerful tracks that had a distinct Latin flavor … Top

Coincidentally, I just played my own copy a couple of weeks ago. If I had to choose though, I would go with the other Surfaris (and NOT because of "Wipe Out") although they were both great bands. — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Top

I think the other Surfaris may have been better, tighter musicians but I prefer the raw power of the OS … yes I CANNOT listen to Wipeout at all lol Top

I recently spent a boatload of money on surf 45s at a record show in Orlando and come back with a bunch of gems but this is the one that I keep coming back to — Storm Surge of Reverb: Surf & Instro Radio Top
