Only available (for the time being) for Record Store Day (RSD) on 22 April. Pressed on light blue vinyl, with 16 killer surf instrumentals and garage rock tracks, some previously unreleased (a few in stereo for the first time), and liner notes by yours truly, this is an exceptional collection. Contact your local record store to see if they'll have this on the 22nd.

I definitely need to find a copy of this one. These were all recorded in Minneapolis (my new home!). It will be so cool to listen to the local surf/instro scene of those years. Go here to hear samples of the tunes. They sound rad! Last edited: Apr 17, 2023 16:55:48 |

So I struck out on Saturday and couldn't find this. Anyone have a spare copy they'd be willing to sell for a reasonable price? Of course, some a-hole already put one up for $95 on ebay and discogs. |

Is this not available for purchase online? Where can I find this in Portland Oregon? |

My understanding is that Sundazed plans to release this comp on CD later this year. — |

I'm pretty sure I've seen these in my local stores. If anybody would like a copy I'll send it to you for whatever it costs me to buy & ship. — |

I managed to score a copy on RSD. It's pretty good! The sound levels are a bit ... inconsistent, like it wasn't totally mastered to even out the loud bands and the soft bands, if that makes sense. Most of the songs are good, all of the songs are fun! —-- |

I struck out on RSD here in Las Vegas, but was back up in my native Bay Area in June, and luckily found one copy left at Amoeba Music. A great release! Glad I found it, as I refuse to pay the flippers… and I never knew that Minneapolis, Minnesota was considered to be in the Great Lakes region. |

I figured this was bumped because it had escaped RSD and was now purchaseable. Well it is! — |
