Posted on Aug 25 2008 09:07 PM dig out which cd? as Im pretty sure that Dave Myers and the Surftones did a song called Cecilia Ann. are you saying that the one on the comp is not that right song? or they had a studio band play it and re record it? I'm lost as to what you mean. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
outsides Joined: Jul 08, 2006 Posts: 460 NorCal	Posted on Aug 25 2008 09:10 PM I'm saying that the producers made up a song, recorded it and put it on the comp under a made up band name. Is that clear? Oh and the Pixies covered it. Top
spskins Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 3759 tn	Posted on Aug 25 2008 10:03 PM I don't think Dave Meyers and the Surftones ever did the song. I don't have all of their 45s, so if you do and it's on some obscure B-side, let us know. But the song is not on Hangin' Twenty or Moment of Truth: The Best of... The only place the song ever appeared is on "Surf Legends & Rumors" by the Surftones. It is the only known track by this "mystery band". It was a hoax, and the Pixies fell for it. Outsides is trying to say that they were not a 60s band as insinuated by their being included on the comp. The song was recorded for the release of the comp. — http://www.satanspilgrims.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Satans-Pilgrims/8210228553 https://satanspilgrims.bandcamp.com/ http://www.surfyindustries.com Top
outsides Joined: Jul 08, 2006 Posts: 460 NorCal	Posted on Aug 25 2008 10:08 PM Yes, it was Celia Ann by the "Surftones" actually it was Steve Hoffman the producer. Yes, Ted said it a bit more clearly. Top

websurfer Joined: May 14, 2007 Posts: 1753	Posted on Aug 25 2008 10:48 PM Yeah, this is a surprising bit of info to emerge from this thread. Ceclia Ann is a great surf tune. If it was recorded in the 80s for that comp, I am really impressed. Sounds so period to me. Top

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19265 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Aug 26 2008 01:47 PM I first heard that song when the Nebulas covered it for their live at KFJC disc.

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Aug 26 2008 02:44 PM "Bristol Express" was an Eagles cover (Brit Eagles, not crime against humanity Eagles). "Bus Stop" is the Hollies cover. -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19265 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Aug 26 2008 03:55 PM Yeah I know. I typed too fast. Here is what I should have said: BN if I had a time machine I first became aware of Cecilia Ann from the Nebulas KFJC disc. Oh, BTW, a funny thing on that KJFC disc. At the beginning of the totally unrelated song Bristol Express, Dano says a line that cracks me up everytime. He whispers: "Eric Grammar on the bass....Bristol Expressssssssss...."

Here's a forum thread were Hoffman talks about it: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=134420 I'm really surprised Ace didn't find out and included it on their new comp. Wow, there it is. You found the smoking gun! CaptainSpringfield not crime against humanity Eagles. I can see that as the title of their next comeback---"The Eagles Crimes Against Humanity Tour '09". Speaking of which . . . . since we seem to be exploding some myths and false information on this thread, is it really _the _Glenn Frey from the Eagles who co wrote the Jester album with Jim Messina as is written in the liner notes of the Guitar Player/Rhino Surf comp? I didn't find it on the web, but coincidentally, found out that (according to Wiki) Eagles bassist Timothy B. Schmidt was in a surf band called the "Contenders": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_B._Schmit Top

No, we've discussed that before. It is a different Frey. He was tacked onto the credits so he could get songwriting royalties and screw the band. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

In fact, the main reason I bought "Surf Legends and Rumors" was because I wanted to hear the original. -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
