The 3 Jan&Dean albums...

[kookadams]

Being that several of their albums were covers would it be fair to sum up Jan&Dean with the three albums- Drag City, Ride the Wild Surf and Little Old Lady from Pasadena...most of their cuts co.written with either Brian, Roger Christian, Phil Sloan or Jill Gibson...

I only have a couple of greatest hits records and Carnival of Sound.

Of the GH albums, the one I like best is The Complete Liberty Singles. I feel very ambivalent about Carnival of Sound. Some of the songs are really great but then there's stuff like Tijuana that's so dated and cheesy I find it hard to swallow.

Umm… why not Dead Man's Curve/The New Girl in School?

Also, why is this a thread?

Indeed.

Meet Batman rules.  It's utterly unhinged in their typically SoCal entitled insouciant way.

The tune where Jan blows the double tracking and absolutely does not give a crap - "anyway it POPPED" - is gold.

Also:  "Don't you wish the Beach Boys were here?"  Dean slurs:  "Aw, they don't know anything."

"Cap" -  "cape" - "cape" is also classic. If one gets the humour of Jan&Dean, this album rules. Plus it has some great music on it. "A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight" is probably my favorite on the album.
