A big thank you goes out to Thorbie for posting at this time last year on Double Crown Records his Top Ten of the 2000s which includes Jetpack in both album and song categories!
The Jetpack CD Planet Reverb is joined by Jetpack label mates The Vanduras In The Dark as one of the Top Ten Surf Albums. In fact, In The Dark tops his list!
As for Top Ten Surf Songs The Vanduras track La Planche and the Jetpack track Bus Stop rank numbers one and two respectively! Jetpack's version of Bus Stop went on to be included on the Sharper Image store's compilation CD Surf Guitar. If anyone needed more convincing the song was a winner, they could ask The Nebulas who decided to do the surf version of Bus Stop a few years later on their CD (sans jazz guitar intro).
Thanks, Thorbie. Sorry it's a bit delayed, but we found out about this just a short while ago!
Trivia: Gary Brandin of the Vanduras performed pedal steel on the Jetpack track The Texas Longboard.
