Found this little doozy a couple days back, self titled release of The Astronettes (no relation to Bowie's singers). The write up on the back of the sleeve pegs them as a band that plays first wave surf songs (only covers of Colorado's "Astronauts") topless in Paris burlesque shows. Thought it was the score of a life time but it turns out it's just the most brilliant packaging scheme I've ever seen, it's actually just an Astronauts rarities collection made to look like a chick band. Still a good compilation of old school surf jams regardless of who's playing.

While frantically searching the net for info on 'em I did come across one frenchman claiming that they were indeed a real band at one point, I just don't think it's them on this record, I've compared a number of the tracks to the originals and it's most certainly the Astronauts on the wax, if anyone overseas has any info on the real Astronettes then by all means spill the beans here.
