Hi wilkat1,
Sorry to say I have no idea. I lost control of the CD do to a bad contract. Be very careful what you sign. I was under age at the time, and my representative blew it.
I have heard that it can be gotten....perhaps on EBAY.
I intend to re-record some of the songs from that CD on my new CD as soon as I can get the new band together. A drummer especially. It's been hard to find really good players that are not already committed.
Regards,
Eddie

Hey Warren,
It's been hard to find good players that are not already in a band. I need a drummer the likes of "Dusty". I have a bass player that is HOT, however he is unable to tour for more than a few days (like 3 or 4 days). It is frustrating to say the least. I want to get back to it really badly too.
Warm Regards,
Eddie

Are the Eddie and the Showmen CDs out of print? Will the original recordings become available again soon, perhaps on iTunes or something?
I got it from (or rather through) amazon early '07 for 18 bucks., it's now on amazon for 24 used, 38 new. you could try ebay as well.
alternatively, you could get the toes on the nose comp which has 10 of the E&TSM tracks, and other great stuff as well.
If I understand it correctly, toes from the nose contains all E&TSM tracks released in the 60's, and the "squad car" cd contains those plus 7 previously unreleased tracks.
GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![Thumbs Up Thumbs Up](/media/smiley/images/icon_thumbsup.gif)

It kind of hacks me off that I can buy the CD and neither Eddie nor any of the Showmen would see a cent.
Record labels interested in protecting the artists, indeed.
Maybe I'll just wait for the new Eddie album once he gets his band together.

It'll be worth the wait Eddie has some new originals in the works ![Wink Wink](/media/smiley/images/icon_wink.gif)

yes, he may have gotten a lousy deal back when, the stories are plenty and it's no fun. but a bad reason to miss out on some of the very best 1st wave surfmusic made.
think of it this way, buy these cds and play them, loud and often and for many other people.... you just may convince someone EddieB is a totally cool and awesome musician ........
Maybe I'll just wait for the new Eddie album once he gets his band together.
......and get him to buy the NEW cd when it comes out.... Eddie sells an extra (and grabs the money this time 'round) ... you win back your Karma. no one loses

I just watched this..that was great! Eddie seems so comfortable on stage and really knows how to play to an audience. He sounded awesome, and the Eliminators are no slouches either. Keeping it old school with the sax. I dig it. Thanks for making this available to those of us who couldn't be there.

I'm pretty happy thee way this video turned out but you had to be thee to capture the true power & energy. I found myself trying to shoot but getting caught up in the performance. I'm surprised the camera was even on. For me, it was one of those performances I'll remember as long as I'm alive. Absolutely stunning performance.

yeah Like Tim said,
you can't capture the vibe and the goosebump chills of the moment on tape.
Congrats to the Eliminators and to Eddie,
Great job.
