Description
Surfin’ Round The World is a sun-drenched snapshot of early 1960s surf and hot rod culture, gathering some of the genre’s most memorable names onto a single CD. The Chantays’ reverb-drenched instrumental ‘Pipeline’ and The Surfaris’ ‘Surfer Joe’ represent the instrumental surf sound at its most evocative, while The Ripchords contribute two tracks including the irresistible ‘Hey Little Cobra’ and ‘Surf City’. Bruce Johnston — later of The Beach Boys — appears both with Bruce and Terry and solo with the title track, giving the collection a real sense of the tight-knit Southern California scene. A charming curio in The Euclid Beach Band’s ‘There’s No Surf In Cleveland’ rounds things out with a touch of self-aware humour. Essential listening for anyone captivated by the era…
