Those of us who've hanged 10 in our dreams know "Wipeout" by the Surfaris. These, however, are the Original Surfaris, some kids from the Fullerton area of Orange County who arrived at their name not via the Beach Boys' "Surfin' Safari," but via the Safaris' doo-wop hit "Image of a Girl." Such romantic notions can't deter drummer Mike Biondi from unleashing a maniacal drum solo that squeezes as many rim shots into 12 bars as the other Surfaris' Ron Wilson unloads in an entire chorus. Wild and woolly though the Original Surfaris may be (Larry Weed's ripping leads are precise and deadly) they also know their way around a ballad; "Surf Angel" is as wonderfully mushy as anything by Rosie & the Originals. --Jud Cost
Product Description
Quite possibly the greatest surf album you've never heard, this 1963 session was only the stuff of legend until purloined by Sundazed. Screaming guitars, screaming sax, & screaming groupies vie for the stereo microphones in this Tony Hilder production that'll become the prize of your surf collection should you buy it, which you most certainly should, indeed. We ain't lyin'. Sundazed. 1995.
