I'm looking forward to getting my copy!
This was recorded many years ago, right? What was the reason for the album being held up until now?

I'm super stoked to be having the Space Cossacks playing at the Surf Guitar 101 Convention. And I can't wait to get the CD. Especially since I was at the show it was recorded at. Their First So. Cal. Performance at the Foothill club in Long Beach Ca. With Jon and the Nightriders.

Thanks, all! Great to see the enthusiasm!

The show was recorded on July 10th, 1998. It's the same show where Jon & the Nightriders recorded their phenomenal "Raw And Alive" CD. For whatever insane reason, the Cossacks played after J&tN that night, and since we were using all of their gear, Richard Blair (John's brother) and Jay Hector, who were recording the show, offered to also record us, so why not? We were touring the west coast, starting in Seattle exactly a week before this show, playing pretty much every night, so we were tight and knew the songs inside out. I would venture to say that this was probably the best the Space Cossacks EVER played, and we were incredibly fortunate that exactly this show was captured on tape.
The reason it wasn't released previously is that the band broke up in '00. We thought about releasing it back in '10 during the first brief reunion, but didn't get our act together in time. But given the 20th anniversary not just of the band but also of MuSick Recordings, this seemed like a very opportune time to finally release it. I had been hoping for a long time we could make that happen since I honestly believe all our fans will flip out once they hear this.
MuSick Recordings manufactured a total of 500 of these. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of making these, we'll have to charge $15 per CD, but we really believe it'll be worth it. The CD sounds amazing, with immaculate mastering by Bruce Kane, and the package - designed entirely by Steve Blickenstaff - is simply outstanding! There are liner notes by John Blair, photos from the show, and striking graphics throughout (a 6-panel digipak design). Here are a few actual CDs - the pic taken when MuSick first received the physical CDs:

$15? chump-change. You'd better save some to send out after the unruly mob at the convention gets near 'em.

Love the artwork! Was so looking forward to catching the show in Atlanta this weekend but the missus just told me there's just enough to cover rent and no gravy.
Surf on surf brothers!

Any chance that some of these will find their way to Europe, let's say to the Surfer Joe store?

One of each needs to make its stop here.
Sounds like dumb luck might need to get involved.

Uh oh, between this limited release Cossacks and the Senn by Eastwood Model One raffle only available at the Convention - I had better take a bunch of spare cash. I do have a few friends...
