The New Dimensions call "Failsafe" "Chicky Run" don't they? I've heard that then. Very cool. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I believe that Failsafe and Chicky Run are two different tunes. We used to cover Failsafe by the New Dimensions in the Nelsonics. It's a rad tune. —The Exotics 1994-Current |

Yes I'm all confused, they are different. I just listened to both versions of Failsafe (Original Surfaris and New Dimensions) and Chicky Run by the New Dimensions. I think I still prefer the Original Surfari's Failsafe to the New Dimensions version, but both are quite boss. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I'm torn between Al Garcia & the Rhythm Kings and Dave Myers & (I forget which) for older versions. The first is a really complex whole built out of many simple(r) pieces, while the latter is bolder (and I like the bass). Howver, I've discovered that with a lot of songs what I really like is to listen to a bunch of versions in a row. I think it might be a new form of addiction: multiversion mainlining. |

Thanks for reminding me about Evan's solo CD. There are some killer surfy tracks on there (and some not so surfy). —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

The Penetrators covered both Unknown and The Truant in their early days, too. I think that may be where I first heard both of those great songs. Ivan —Ivan |

I'm still pretty new to the genre, but I'm pretty fanatical right now trying to play catch-up. I've been mostly listening to 1st Wave stuff, but I'm just now venturing into some more modern sounds. Right now here's my Ten. Squad Car Eddie & The Showmen Next week this list could be totally different. |
