Hmmm... Take a look here:
Is it maybe Now It's Stomping Time? That one isn't blue, though. I
can't remember what the cover of the '65 "Greatest Hits" LP looked
like (though I think it had the band on it). That's the only other
one it could be - there were just these four released in the '60s.
(The fourth one is Explosive Sound, and that one has the four of
them jumping.) Maybe it's a Japanese release? I think they had
something released there in the sixties....

Repertoire did 2 CDs, as far as I know. The two were Now It's
Stomping Time (2nd LP) and The Explosive Sound of the Atlantics (3rd
LP). Each one had the original album with songs in the original
order, plus all the original artwork and album notes. Plus a bunch
of bonus tracks, consisting of non-album singles tracks plus the
tracks from the first album (Bombora). However, there are many
missing songs between the two CDs, both of singles-only tracks and
the tracks from the first LP. But the tracks that are there are all
the same as on the Canetoad CDs, except that Dimitrius on Explosive
Sound on Repertoire has the loud overdubbed shouting throughout the
song like the original - these were removed on the Canetoad CD.

The 2 Canetoad CDs have EVERYTHING that the Atlantics did
instrumentally in the surf vein in the sixties. Once they were
dumped by CBS in '65 or so, they went on as a straight-forward vocal
rock band in the mold of the Animals and later the Yardbirds. So,
if you get the two Canetoad CDs, you have all of their surf instro
stuff. In chronological order, no less. I have those, plus the
Repertoire CDs (which I think are getting very hard to find and are
expensive to boot) cause I like the original artwork and stuff. But
you know, I'm a bit obsessive like that...
