For those of you who don't know, Surf saw a sizable revival and there was a strong scene in the 90's, particularly in southern California and the Northwest, but not well known elsewhere. Labels were there, and mail order was there, and the bands were there. I was there and it was impressive to see and a lot of fun. Lots of great bands who played it letter perfect and were straight out of 1963 from their clothes, amps, instruments, cover art, recording techniques. That's almost entirely gone now and it's turned into a lot of cheese and a lame shadow of its former self.
