The second CD is basically SOT Vol 1

I just thought I'd give you guys a heads up and along with Big Beat 1963, I'm assuming we'll be seeing more of these types of releases

[Andrew G. Doe]

Was released and discussed here last year, sorry.

The strict legality of this release is questionable. Certainly Capitol knew nothing about it.

[Cliff1000uk]

Apologies-I wonder if it was released under a different name as mine is copyrighted 2013 and released on Red Moon Recordings

I assumed it was legally questionable, which is why I was surprised finding it in HMV!

[Andrew G. Doe]

My apologies - I think I'm getting mixed up with another reissue of said album... but this configuration has been discussed here.

[The Shift]

Red Moon?

I have this set but on the Rock Melon label ⓒ & ⓟ 2013.

And aye Disc 2 is SOT Vol 1, less one track.

Very dubious!

John-you're right. Think I still have some mulled wine in the system!
I listened to Disc 1 last night and will give Disc 2 a spin tomorrow-I'm assuming there's no difference in quality to the SOT disc

[Disney Boy (1985)]

Whether it's dubious or not, I don't mind... If I can play it and listen to it, I'm happy. Have ordered a copy already. SOT Surfin' Safari is one of the few I'm missing so am looking forward to this...

[Smilin Ed H]

I was hoping a collection from 63 would've appeared by now

Dubious but not any more so than the plethora of Surfin' Safari CDs and vinyl which were released on various labels last year!  I believe they are legit because of the 50 year rule but I'm not sure how that works!

No chance.
