 Huh

don't want to appear to negative....

but a short cd ( looks like about 30 minutes) of Beach Boy covers.....
my only question would be...why?

wouldn't a recording of Chris's own songs or some interesting unusual covers be a better offering?

just can't see there being to much interest in a recording like this...
IMHO

It's one thing to pay to see a cover band play. But to pay for a cover band's disc?

This seems like an entirely unnecessary album.

Well, call me a ridiculous completist, but I ordered this CD and have already received the sampler. Summertime Blues is a really interesting arrangement. It's very Beach Boys-esque, much more so than the actual Beach Boys recording. The other songs are pretty okay, except Barbara Ann, which sucks, and California Sleepwalking, which is amazing! I guess it's a Chris Farmer original, and I really like it. If he released an entire album of songs like it, it would be a pretty great album.

Chris has been putting final mixes on the cd this week, added some more vocals  on Barbara Ann's opening.
The liner notes have been completed. 

I don't have the final master yet to send off to the manufacturer.  Once received, it will take two weeks to print them. 
I estimate Mid- to-late February for delivery.  Then I'll ship them to those who have pre-orders.  For the autographed cds, I'll open them and send the covers to Chris to sign ... so add another 10 days if you ordered a signed cd.

Thanks!
Tom

thanks for the info Tom. Cant wait. It sounds very good. Is California Sleepwalking the same song the Surf city allstars did on their DVD?

"California Sleepwalking" is the same song, but with a completely different arrangement and sound.  I like them both, but Chris puts a great spin on the song.
