If you already own the Rhino set, the series from Sundazed, The Trashmen box set (plenty of twangy reverbed guitars and that simple beat), the various Ace Records sets, or maybe (stretching away some from surf music)), even the "Dancehall Stringbusters" sets, the (American and British) "Great Rock 'N' Roll Instrumentals" collections, etc., you might want to add this collection to the pile. Where do I start? The sound has been newly mastered, and is clean and fairly crisp-with no compression to ruin the vintage sound. Many of these tunes were pressed up in less than a 1,000 albums/singles, and were known either locally, or regionally. One (possible) caveat-the discs were manufactured (standards issues?) in China. But I haven't had any "reading" or "tracking" problems on various stereo systems. Like many of you, I'll almost always take a chance on some unknown record "company", in order to hear some vintage music like this. Collectors will have come across some of this music (some are familiar to me), either the version heard here or by another band. But the majority will be new to many fans. The most well known names here are Dick Dale (one track), Bobby Fuller (before The Bobby Fuller Four), the jazz trumpeter Shorty Rogers (Calvin Cool & The Surf Knobs), who was behind the album by this group, and The Mosriters, three quarters of the group consisted of the well known rhythm section of Jimmy Johnson-guitar, Roger Hawkins-drums, and David Hood-bass. The rest of the bands were filled with players who you've probably never heard of-which is a good thing. Besides California, bands from places like Coaldale, Penn., or New Mexico, Alabama, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Illinois, Ohio, New York City, and other states, all made surf music, and are represented by some great music. Personally I like bands I've never heard of-and especially if there's little or no information on them in the notes either. As an example, just who were The Sting Rays? And this isn't the surf music trio from Arizona, who released an album a few years ago. And why did they remake, and rename, the song "Moondawg", and title it "One Mo' Gin"? And why did they credit the song to Derry Weaver, the original composer? And unlike almost all the other tracks, this tune has no release date-only the label-Sea Port Single 1021. Hmmmm. And who are The Debonairs? The Vy-Dels? The Buddies? Or The Vaqueros? Or The Elite U.F.O. from Stanton Kentucky? How about The Hollywoods? Or The Losers, whose "Snake Eyes" has the sound of rolling dice. And don't forget The Sinders, from McMinnville, Tennessee, with "Sinner". And lastly (but certainly not least) among unknown groups/oddities, how did Harry Nilsson's very English voice get dubbed onto "Turn On", by The Ric-A Shays? I love this kind of stuff because it's all part of that whole, do-it-yourself two guitars/bass/drums/and maybe a little sax or keyboard to generate some surf music action. When virtually anyone could (and did) start their own record label, and pressed up a few hundred copies of some local band. But the information on most of the bands in this set is interesting and sometimes informative as well. I'm continually impressed and surprised at the attitude back then-the "Me and my friends are gonna start a band, play some stomping surf music, and make a record," attitude. It all seemed so innocent and simple back then-and thinking back, I suppose it was. How about a female surf guitarist? Listen to Chiyo & The Crescents. Or "to young to make music?" The Surf Teens, whose two guitarists were 16, the drummer was 13, and the geriatric bass player was 20 years old. These mono tracks were released on small labels like Timber, Velvet, Angela, Allstar, McCady, Tilt, Daytone, Coulee, Janie, Tondy, Dub Tone-you get the idea. Oftentimes, many of these tracks were the 'B' side to a vocal tune by the band, when they needed something for the Single. But don't let that throw you off. It's all here-the primitive beat, the heavily reverbed twangy guitar, the staccato picking, a dash of keyboard or sax, the occasional sound of an engine revving, and a few shouts and screams for good measure. This is prime surf music. Picking highlights is useless, you're either into it or you're not. But if you're a fan of this music, from the prime years of 1959 to 1966, you need to check this out. With a number of bands playing this style of music in the present, it's still nice to hear music from the original era-there's just something real about it that can't be replicated. The four discs fit into cutouts in the inside of the front and back covers-with a cutout for your finger to get the disc out. I immediately put mine in double jewel cases for safe keeping. The outer packaging is a very thick cardboard-think hardback book built like a tank. The outer dimensions are about 11 1/2"X"6". Inside the 60 pages of notes and graphics is an essay by Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty's band) about how surf music influenced him. Check out an album by the Blue Stingrays, "Surf-N-Burn", which is Campbell and other band members playing surf music under a made up name. There's also a paragraph by Chris Isaak on how this music has influenced him. There's a two page essay by James Austin on surf culture, and to top it off, the last page of the book is a beautiful beach scene, with the slogan "Save Our Mother Ocean". It's evident that a lot of thought and care went into this collection. There's a track by track listing with a short synopsis of every band, and a list of release details for each song, written by Alan Taylor and Dave Burke from the U.K. magazine "Pipeline". Also included are many pages of period graphics-movie ads ("The Beach Girls and the Monster"-with music by Frank Sinatra, Jr., "It's A Bikini World"-"The bikini bunnies are bustin' out all over!"), album covers ("Surf Mania","Good Humor Presents Real Cool Hits", The Creations), musical instrument ads ("Surf's down music's up"), cartoons (Surfink), Vaseline Hair Tonic ("Ted sure knows how to ride those waves! But his hair always looks like something the tide washed in."), posters (several Dick Dale ads), TV stills (Batman-"Surf's Up! Joker's Under!", The Flintstones, Mr. Ed) comic book and magazine covers (Wonder Woman, Capt. Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders, Bunny, Patsy and Hedy-Career Girls, "The Nude Bikini Debs of the Death-Head Gang"), drink ads ("It's great to take chances but not on your bourbon", "Sizzling by the seaside?") etc. The paper stock is a good quality smooth finish, which only enhances the crisp bright colors of the graphics. Also included are other recommended instrumental collections, websites, Further Reading, and organizations. If you're a fan of authentic period surf music, you should probably check this out. There's a few short segments advertising movies or soft drinks from the period between songs, which don't really intrude on the surf music experience. There's about four hours of cool surf music, along with a sixteen minute "hidden" track at the end of Disc Four. It's a compilation of various radio spots, which take you back (if you're old enough) to that whole era. Some people will no doubt wish that the space was used for more music-to each his own. But this is music that sounds best blasting from a car radio as you cruise to check the surf, and the trailers and ads were a part of that whole era. Me, I'm off to check the swell direction.
