Cat. No. 2769: THE ATLANTICS (AUSTRALIA) ~ COLLECTIBLES. ATLANTICS MUSIC CAT. NO. A-013.

THIS SYDNEY BASED GROUP FIRST SHOT TO FAME IN 1963 WITH THE SURFING CLASSIC “BOMBORA” LAUDED AS AN INSTRUMENTAL CLASSIC WORLDWIDE. OVER THE YEARS THE GROUP HAS CONTINUED TO RECORD WITH VIRTUALLY NO SUCCESS, WHICH IS SURPRISING AS THE RECORDINGS THEY RELEASE ARE EXCELLENT BUT PERHAPS THERE IS NOT QUITE THE SAME ENTHUSIASM FOR SURFING MUSIC LIKE THERE WAS IN THE ‘60s. AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS THIS CD COMPRISES TRACKS RECORDED OVER THE YEARS AND INCLUDES THE GROUPS SURFING VERSIONS OF CLASSIC SONGS AND TUNES OVER THE YEARS. SIT BACK, RELAX AND ENJOY THIS MEMORABLE COLLECTION OF SONGS RECORDED BY THE ATLANTICS BETWEEN 1966 AND 2010. TEN OF THE SONGS HAVE HAD PREVIOUS WORLDWIDE RELEASE AND NOW ARE EXTREMELY RARE AND NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ELSEWHERE. THESE INCLUDE 3 VOCAL TRACKS RECORDED BY THE GROUP IN THE MID ‘60s DURING WHAT IS NOW CONSIDERED BY MANY AS THEIR “GARAGE DAYS”. ALSO INCLUDED ARE STUDIO VERSIONS OF 3 SONGS ORIGINALLY APPEARING ON THE “LIVE AT FRESHWATER” DVD RECORDED IN MARCH 2006 AND THE ADDED BONUS OF A BRAND-NEW TRACK, “TEQUILA SLAMMER’” WHICH COULD QUITE EASILY MAKE AN APPEARANCE ON THE SOUNDTRACK OF A SURFING MOVIE ONE DAY ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER TRACKS FROM THE ALBUM INCLUDING “THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY”, “AQUARIUS” AND THE VERY BOMBORA-ISH “COSSACK BEACH”. GREAT. SURF’S UP *****
