Joe Satriani – Surfing With The Alien (CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Epic – EK 63701)

Why This CD Matters
Surfing With The Alien was Joe Satriani’s breakthrough, pairing instrumental guitar virtuosity with memorable melodies and full song structures. The title track and “Satch Boogie” bring the high-speed fretwork, while “Always With Me, Always With You” shows his more lyrical side. That balance helped make the album a landmark of 1980s guitar rock. 

Collector Note
This is the 1999 US Epic reissue from the Best Value series, catalog number EK 63701, with the ten-track album remastered by George Marino. The five-panel foldout booklet includes liner notes, photos, and credits. Its catalog number and Best Value designation distinguish it from the original Relativity CD and other Epic reissues.
