the history of surf music
























the history of surf music volume one.
original instrumental hits 1961-1963
"Put on your baggies, grab your surf board and rev up your woodie! "
"The Surf is Forever and so is it's music!"
typical surf rock hits by some of the greats (dick dale, the challengers, the surfaris etc.)
best track: mr. rebel by eddie and the showmen. 
silly but fun and somehow great airbrushed cover art. that board looks like dagger. the stinger on it is insane.

drag race at surf city.























drag race at surf city by rod and the cobras.
"wailin' drag race and surfin' hits"
"the tuffest sound from coast to coast"
sub par versions of many songs you've heard before.
best track.... stripped down-souped up.
instrumental filled with twangy guitar, organ and saxophone.
killer cover art.
