It's still a new Jan & Dean album, which we ain't seen a lot of in the last few years. I'm looking forward to hearing the mono mixes of rarities like FOLK CITY...
As for GOTTA TAKE THAT ONE LAST RIDE, this is still, conceptually, the greatest J&D compilation on the planet - funny, crazy, the best song line-up in the best order, that great shot from the 1973 Surfer's Stomp Reunion on the back, classic Dean Torrence comic liner notes plus new (at the time) rarities like the LMS version of Gonna Hustle You, Sunshine Music and Vegetables.
At the time that album came out (1974) original J&D albums were hard to find... this was the only way to hear rare stuff like Bucket T, Three Window Coupe, Schlock Rod, etc. If United Artists had spent a quarter of Capitol's ad budget for ENDLESS SUMMER this collection would have gone platinum. But, as I recall Dean once saying, "If Patty Hearst really wanted to stay hidden she'd have been on United Artists Records... no one would have ever found her..."

Well, it's not exactly a unique idea. I mean, it looks like it's basically along the same lines as the "Gotta Take That One Last Ride" CD, which I think is still in print and available on the internet. The "One Last Ride" CD also had the original mono mixes of many of their hits and singles, although it had less songs than this new collection.
I'll definitely being buying this new CD, and I'm glad to see that attention is being paid to Jan & Dean once again. I'm just not sure that it's going to sell very well, since most of these songs are already available on "Gotta Take That One Last Ride" and various other CD compilations.

It won't be out until 6/17, but I've preordered. It's a Collector's Choice exclusive of the mono mixes of all their Liberty singles - Both A and B sides. These are Jan's original mixes from the master tapes. A 2-CD set with liner notes, pics and interviews with Dean, among others.David
