Comment:
Surf Rock was one of the most popular forms of American rock & roll of the early '60s. Distinguished by reverb-drenched guitar, rolling instrumentals that were designed to sound like crashing waves, and simple, three-chord songs, the music may sound similar on the surface, but it was revolutionary music for its time, exploring sonic territories previously unheard in rock music. The first wave of surf rock was kicked off by Dick Dale and his single "Let's Go Trippin." The single was a local hit in California, but it inspired countless bands to form - groups like the Chantays and Surfaris, who had national hits ("Pipeline" and "Wipe Out," respectively). Nearly all of these groups were one-hit wonders that struggled to produce a second hit single. The second wave of surf rock was led by the Beach Boys, who added Four Freshmen-style pop harmonies to the basic Chuck Berry rhythms of surf rock. Groups like Jan & Dean and Ronny & the Daytonas followed, but the Beach Boys remained the ultimate surf band for many listeners, simply because they put the appeal of the beach and surfing into words instead of conveying it with impressionistic music. Nevertheless, the sounds of the instrumental surf rock echoed throughout the sonic experimentations of '60s guitarists, and the genre remained popular into the '90s, thanks to the efforts of several generations of surf-rock revivalists.Source: All Music Guide
Months (and untold dollars) in the making. With the summer, here, it was time to finalize the first of a series of surf-related mixes...
I absolutely love this stuff.
Feedback:
Your scholarship is unsurpassed. Excellent.
Volume Two Teaser - Includes artists such as: The Cornells, The Surfaris, The Astronauts, Richie Valens, Bobby Fuller Four, The Fantastic Baggys, Al Casey, The Clee-Shays, Dave Myers and the Surftones, Eddie & The Showmen, Bruce & Terry, The New Dimensions and many more (both artists and songs from artists on Volume) Hang Ten!!!
This looks fantastic. It makes me want to jump on a surf board and ride the waves even though I've never done this before. I'd love to hear this one, let me know if you are interested in trading.
this looks quite good!!!!!! a few years ago there was a debate about where the *real* surf city was: Santa Cruz, Ca or the Los Angeles area. it was amusing to hear after all these years!!!!
I'd love to hear this. Surf (beyond the Beach Boys, who obviously transcended the bounds of the genre) is seriously underrepresented in my collection and in my areas of musical expertise. Perhaps between you and Sean I can gain additional knowledge.
Oooh! This is SWEET! I would love to hear this.
looks nice!
Boy, I've got a bunch of surf collections but I don't have most of this stuff. Excellent!
Wow. This is MotW material!
Charlie can't surf & neither can I, but I can dig the sounds.
You're well on the way here to the long-awaited All-Time Definitive Surf Set.

Frankie and Annette are waxing down their surf boards and loading up their ipods with these tunes.
You've covered the genre better than any collection I've seen out there. And a great cover, too (even though the new size limit makes it illegible!)
Man, this is cherry (a positive adjective specific to '63 as I recall)!
