Did the reissue mentioned above ever come out? Any idea where to find (or even hear) some of this stuff?

I completely missed them at the time, only heard their name when Sic Alps pasted over a Summer Hits cover (which was pasted over a Walker Brothers cover) for their recent single. The descriptions in this thread sound awesome...

This was not as good as I had hoped.

A very profilic band, apparently. These are just a few of the Summer Hits albums I came across on the Net:

Beaches and Canyons is on Spotify (artist mistagged as "summerhits"). Fourteen plus years later and it's still the best.

I did not know that Rex had passed away.
