The Amazing Hot Rod Cult!

Here's an album of surferesque silliness.
Evidently some folks were gaga over this kind of stuff.
I do admit a strange attraction for Dick Dale's music, but this half-hour dose of other groups is plenty for me, thanks.

01 - Wax 'Em Down - The Avantis - 1963
02 - Beach Party - Dave York and the Beachcombers - 1962
03 - Sea-n-Shore - Jerry & the Diamonds - 1964
04 - Phantom Surfer - The Avantis - 1964
05 - Powder Puff - The City Surfers - 1963
06 - Surf Blast - The Enchanters - 1963
07 - Beach Girl & The Monster (Dance Version) - Frank Sinatra Jr - 1965
08 - Surfari - The Original Surfaris - 1963
09 - Surf Fever - The Cornells - 1965
10 - Casbah - Sandy Nelson - 1965
11 - Sour Grapes - The Young Ones - 1966
12 - Blower Scoop - Phil & the Flakes - 1964
13 - Bad - Pat & the Californians - 1964
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!


Let me know if this stuff polishes your board.
