Did you get rid of the cover?
I have volume 2 (Pipeline, Wipe Out, Out Of Limits, Let's Go!) since a long time but just got volume 3. This is a really fun series where you at the end of each lesson is invited to play along with the Ventures on either bass, rhythm or lead guitar.

The thought did cross my mind. -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

Seriously, that must be one of the worst front covers in surf music history ever. Reminds me of the Bitch Boys' cigar smoking banana album. — |

I just got in Martin Cilia's Revenge of the Surf Guitar and, as Phil Dirt said, wow! I must admit that I've loved all of the Atlantics stuff that he's played lead on, although the Point Zero CD had somewhat questionable recording quality. His guitar tone is much more in the trad mold since (I believe) he's using a Jag on everything. It's very clean. I also got the backing tracks CD of this and am looking forward to (attempting) to playing along with it. —Shawn Martin |

I know it was released in the horrible looking 80's but that doesn't change it's still must be one of the worst looking album covers in surf music history. Rhino Records have always appeared somewhat clueless to me. Jon & The Nightriders on the other hand, managed to put cool looking artwork on their Splashback 12 inch EP from the same year.

Sometimes I'm really glad I was born in '82, and therefore do not remember anything about 80's fashion and design. -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

That's the nice way of saying that you could quite possibly resemble a lumberjack......i think. The TakeOffs |

I didn't find most of the included instros that interesting with the exception of the Steve Douglas penned "Ditch Day" which is totally great. Most of the vocals are really good though I think. — |

It's a great CD and you won't be disappointed if you like Gary Usher type of vocals. — |

I really dug most of The Kickstands' stuff - The Knights, not so much. Recently I bought more albums with terrible cover art: The History of Surf Music Vol. 3, and this one:

At least the photo is cool. Not too surprising to discover it was released on Jerden, as they usually fall a bit short in the cover making department. — |
