What bout Take Linda Surfin, Surf City, Drag City, Deadmans Curve/New Girl In School and Ride the Wild Surf???

Wouldn't it make more sense for those to come out first?

Those albums and notes are already available . . . with the exception of Ride the Wild Surf (notes).

The five remaining sets of liner notes to be submitted are Golden Hits Vol. 1, Ride the Wild Surf, Pop Symphony, Golden Hits Vol. 2, and Golden Hits Vol. 3.

I'm working on these now, and should be done soon.

But, BUt BUT...  you're the liner dude! Seems like all you'd have to do is suggest it, to make it happen. or at the very least, ask if it's in the works, all the while  stressing the importance of vinyl, and how it sounds so much warmer, and how SO many are just now getting back into vinyl, and wo9uldn't it be great for all them folks to be able to enjoy the J&D catalog the way Jan planned it??

It's cool to know that their catalogue is finally getting the proper treatment it deserves. I've wanted to collect J&D for a while now, but the only thing you can really find in stores are greatest hits packages with little to no info.

Yeah, the new liner notes I've written (still writing) for these digital releases are more extensive than what you would get with a CD release. Good historical context, musically and soclally. Plus, I've included the original notes from the backs of the LP covers.

This is an important step by Capitol . . . to balance the glut of non-original cover versions that are billed as "Jan & Dean" in the digital market.

Some of J&D's non-single album cuts are better than the hits . . . arrangement and production wise.

Here's a useful link. I'll soon have a descriptive blurb for each album on the site:

I still need Pop Symphony. Those One Way twofers should drop in price once this new campaign gets under way. Anything exclusive on Golden hits 1,2,3?

Golden Hits one is half a new album and half hits.
