The big surf music news this week is the Dick Dale reissue LP’s from Sundazed – 7 LP’s in all, including the hard-to-find “Live At Ciro’s” LP and a new Singles Collection ’61-65 2 x LP set. Although it’d be cool to have these, I was planning to give them a pass since I don’t play vinyl very much at home these days (two kids jumpin’ around all of the time – the needle hardly stays on the record!). However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Sundazed has also made these available on iTunes – I’m listening to the live album as I write. Excellent sound, and although it’s a mix of vocals and instros, I actually like the vocals here (not a huge fan of the songs he sings these days though). Gonna download the singles collection later tonight…
