"Toes on the Nose"
"Lost Legens of Surf guitar" I-IV
"Surf Monsters"
"Diggin' for gold!"
"Beyond the Beach"
"Surf guitar greats: one dozen surf-rock instrumentals"
"Rare West Coast Surf Instrumentals"
more? opinions?

I especially like comps for 1st wave stuff since it's an easy way to get access to otherwise rare and pricey 45s.

I had that as a poll option, "just for otherwise unattainable 45's and rare tracks", but it somehow didn't show up and I cant change it now 
just want to compile a list of good comps, really.

I agree about 1st wave comps being a really good way to get your hands on hard to find stuff. I'm a little less warm to other comps though, but I guess I'm a hypocrite because I LOVE the old KFJC comps, of which I have all but one.

I like the sampler comps that Double Crown puts out with The Continental. Lost Legends is a really good series, too.

If you can find it, Guitar Player Presents: Legends of Guitar-
Surf. It's a great primer on the first wave. I'm sure it's out
of print. Rhino put it out before the "Cowabunga Box Set",
perhaps the ultimate compilation.

Man, I can't believe I forgot that one. Right now I'm doing something that closely resembles your avatar.

Yeah! both of those are great! for the early years of my surf music education - comps were about the only thing I could find - Ebay and the net has changed that. 
My favorite new comps are the sundazed lost legends discs - Esp. Vol. 1 .... When I first fired it up in the cd player, 10 seconds into "ElGato" I KNEW it was gonna be killer.

I need to reply to this thread, but considdering that I probably have over 100 surf comps. I need to look at them all to see which ones are woth mentioning.
But yeah I really like comps its a great way to find new bands, and to hear what they may sound liek without buying a whole cd.
and your pretty likely gonna like somebody on it.
so give me time.

Anyone know the story on KFWB's "Battle of the Surfing Bands" and similar items? Has it always been somewhat strangely but not entirely mislabelled as to content?
I make it:
1.1 Surf Party - Bruce Johnston
1.2 Surf Battle => Goofy Foot - The Lively Ones
1.3 Vesuvius => Pipeline - The Sentinals => The Lively Ones (?)
1.4 Surfin' Tragedy - Jim Waller & the Deltas
1.5 Soul Surfin' = The Soul - The Rhythm Kings
1.6 Driftin' - Dave Myers & Surftones
2.1 Get It = Every Night = Last Night - The Rhythm Kings
2.2 Tor-Chula => Hot Pastrami - The Impacts => The Lively Ones (?)
2.3 White Water - Dave Myers & Surftones
2.4 Ramrod - The Challengers
2.5 Revellion => Surfin' USA - The Biscaynes => The Lively Ones
2.6 Delano Soul Beat = The Charades
I may be wrong at points.
