The Atlantics: The Explosive Sound (Aust, Amazing Surf Compilation)

This is a bit cornball compared to their best stuff -- a few of the numbers are surfizations of standards like "Secret Love," and though most of the material is original, the frequent allusions to folk melodies sometimes make this sound like the kind of surf band you'd find playing in a Greek restaurant. There's plenty of nifty guitar work, though, and only a couple of cuts are on The CBS Singles Collection, making this a nifty supplement to that compilation. The original Australian LP is far harder to find than the German CD reissue, which adds some bonus cuts.

UFFFFFFFFFFF.....this is the special edition with bonus tracks and extra cuts...that were`not included in the vinyl edition. Dig it.
