The Amazing Hot Rod Cult!

Here's an album of surferesque silliness.

Evidently some folks were gaga over this kind of stuff.

02 - Beach Party - Dave York and the Beachcombers - 1962

14 - Beach Girl & The Monster (Vocal Version) - Frank Sinatra Jr - 1965

To me, the disappointing thing is the last track, which NOWHERE mentions a monster in its lyrics.  What a bummer, man!

Wax 'Em Down!

Let me know if this stuff polishes your board.

  

Welcome to a Month of Fun!

Here's the setup:  a lounge act was caught in a time warp, or something like that.

Anyway, this is a sock. boffo album.  Imagine "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" performed by ol' Jerry Lee, or "A Day in the Life" performed by Buddy, or ... well, you'll have to find out for yourself.

Big Daddy - Sgt Pepper's

And by the way, welcome to a month of fun at the Record Round-Up!  Our header art is what happens when you let a two-month-old into his momma's drawers (so to speak) ...

See you Thursday!
