The definitive box set re-issue of The BarracudasÆ cult classic debut album, æDrop Out With The BarracudasÆ, compiled by Barracudas songwriter / guitarist Robin Wills.Including 21 previously unreleased recordings from RobinÆs personal tape archive. The album contains four brilliant singles - the infectious surf pop chart hit æSummer.Also included are both sides of their debut 45, the 1979 indie chart hit æI Want My Woody BackÆ / æSubway SurfinÆÆ that announced the unlikely arrival of a surf group in post punk London.By the release of æDrop OutàÆ on EMIÆs Zonophone imprint in 1981, The Barracudas were moving away from surf music and the album was split into an Up Side and a Down Side with the latter conveying a more downbeat mood and exploring the influence of 1960s West Coast rock and psychedelia.Among the bonus tracks are demos, live recordings and rehearsals from 1977 to 1981. These include an early version of the later live staple and fan favourite æGrammar Of MiseryÆ and covers of The SurfarisÆ æWipe OutÆ, The TrashmenÆs æKing Of The SurfÆ, The OutsidersÆ æTime WonÆt Let MeÆ plus the band tearing through The FlaminÆ GrooviesÆ æSlow DeathÆ live in Brighton in front of a hostile Stray Cats audience.The 36-page booklet contains a new group interview by Shindig! MagazineÆs Phil Suggitt with all four members of the band line up that made æDrop OutàÆ - singer Jeremy Gluck, guitarist Robin Wills, bassist David Buckley and drummer Nick Turner (later in Lords Of The New Church) reunited for the first time in over 40 years.
