For those who have always lamented the Capitol bonus cuts not being issued on vinyl (outside of Pet Sounds), this makes things a tad better.

When in doubt, put the whole album on one side! At least it'll be easy to play xD

Yeah I noticed that. They should have spread them out a bit more, but a cool release anyway.

Holy sh*t, I've got to have this. :-D For the b-side alone.

I believe Doxy Records is some kind of grey-area label putting out all sorts of stuff on LP now with the vinyl revival and all. Squeezing the entire Surfin' Safari album onto one side of the LP seems like an odd idea. I wouldn't expect audiophile quality but it's a cool package!

"Entire album" in this case means 25 minutes of music.  ;)

It wouldn't be too far flung I guess, Think fo some of the longer albums on one LP. It's almost be like putting Weezer's Green Album onto one side though [bar 3 mins] :D

I always liked how every guy in the band is the bass player on the back of that record !

They mainly do original albums with bonus cuts. Not in the league of Friday Music or Music On Vinyl, but still some interesting things.

Sort of a Spinal Tap moment!   :lol

Anyone pick this up?  The record store I work at got this in; we carry a lot of LPs from this label.  Their Etta James reissue sells all the time.  Thinking of picking this up, especially for the bonus tracks.  Can anyone comment on the sound quality and pressing of the actual vinyl?

I can't speak on this particular release, but I have a handful of Doxy things and they all sound really good.

Yeah, it's got me really curious, but £20 has me hesitating at the risk of quality...

Thanks for the feedback.  I might bite the bullet next paycheck...I'll post pics and sound review.

Ah yes, Doxy - geniuses behind "The Beatles' First Single" (the first major exploitation yet of the two out-of-copyright Beatle tracks) and a remastered "Savage Young Beatles."

Oh yeah, that's a must-have....

So many bootleg releases coming out in Europe thanks to copyrights expiring over there in certain countries...not sure why anyone would want to pay for these.

It is awesome that they put all those bonus tracks on the other side though.

Pretty cool though the volume level suffers on side one from stuffing too much on it. Sound is still pretty good though on side 2.

'spose side 2 is all that matters.

Really it's the first two tracks on side two that are cool. Land Ahoy in stereo and Cindy Oh Cindy are what makes this one a cut above. Lost & Found made it to vinyl several times so the rest is dispensable. Very quiet pressing though.
