Re: Belairs cd's. was..early Belairs picture

Bill,
The cd that Ivan mentioned is kinda outta print, But Gee Dee
records from Germany repressed them, with slightly altered liner
notes( Paul said more cohesive). He should have them on his website.
The cd you have is actually something that they found after years
and years and been forgotten about. It was a recording that
was done shortly before Eddie left. The Belairs"Orgins of Surf
Music" cd is alot of early recording and some home demos.
Some of the songs may be on the cd you have, but are differnt
recordings.
It's not something I listen to alot, but a must have for a true
hard core surf fan.
