Collections
Two major collections of Atlantics material were issued on Canetoad Records.
One contained the CBS singles, the other was a collection of vocal material
featuring the Atlantics as the backing band.
* The Atlantics with Johnny Rebb on Vocals, Canetoad CD-003
* The CBS Singles Collection, Canetoad LP-004
Currently, Canetoad has three CD collections available:

In 1992, Repertoire Records, under license from Sony Music Entertainment
(CBS) issued two CDs collecting the music from the three original Atlantics
albums. Using the extra recording capacity of the CD format, the Bombora
material was split between:
* The Explosive Sound of the Atlantics, REP 4123-WY
* Now It's Stompin' Time, REP 4129-WY
These releases contain the original album cover art and extensive notes
on the group. The Repertoire issues are still available; however they
are difficult to find.
There is also an Australian double CD set that can be found through Midnight
Records:
* The Complete CBS Recordings, CTCD-004/5
(This seems to be a version of the current Canetoad releases.)
