surfs up

duke knooby · 18 Mar 2007, 01:57

was surfs up ever released as a single?? was it ever performed live?? if not, why was a video shot??? and if not.. it should be released!!!

Wario · 18 Mar 2007, 02:33

it was on a PROMO released to promote BA in 1984

It's only a video because i believe it was used to serve as an example to the record company to allow it to be released. If thats the case they picked the best choice possible to persuade them.

A+++++++++++++ song

OH and yes it was preformed live once. I think on a Porno back-tape.

I remember seeing it on ebay. Lost the auction though

How come I KNEW a thread called 'surfs up' was started by Jonty?

duke knooby · 18 Mar 2007, 15:57

glad it was performed live, sorry i never got to hear it, but.. was it ever released as a single???? and if not, why was a promo vid done??

It was released in the US/Canada only as far as I know, with Jumpin' The Gun as a B side - I have a copy released in 1984 on the RCA label. It certainly wasn't released as a single in the UK

duke knooby · 18 Mar 2007, 22:12

cool ta, any ideas how it did? was it 1st or 2nd single?

Jaymze · 19 Mar 2007, 15:00

I'd have loved to have heard surf's up it's a great song.

Eddie's Teddy · 19 Mar 2007, 18:21

Awesome song, one of my favourites. Would really love to hear/see a live version of it.

Pudding · 19 Mar 2007, 21:45

Well...if indeed it was performed live on the first night of the Storytellers tour, I'd place a safe bet that someone somewhere has it recorded. I know some members on this site went to most of the Storytellers shows.

I made a thread on this ages ago, From memory Meat messed up the Lyrics, As someone requested it to be sung, SueW told me, I think.
