Because of the limited release and lack of interest in the original recordings, potential listeners often have difficulty locating the entire sets. Now the original singles have become valuable collector's items. Underhill discusses that he hopes to eventually locate the original master tapes in order to release a CD. However, since Joe Pal's death in 1986, no one, including the band members, seems to know if any copies of the tapes exist. Perhaps someday these recordings will resurface, but the chances are slim. Whatever the case may be, and whether readers accept its arguments or not, The Lost Wave definitely offers some worthwhile material for consideration.
