V.A. 100 Instro Surf Masterpieces Vol. 3

¡Vamos ya con la tercera parte!

Seguimos repasando los temas mas clásicos del Surf Instrumental, intercalados con otros menos conocidos, pero que creo tienen muchísimo interes.

Os recuerdo que para la confección de esta lista de 100 conté con la ayuda de los amigos Carlos y Mr.Eliminator.

A Mr Eliminator no hace falta presentarlo, pues a buen seguro todos conocéis su blog "Surfadelic", indudablemente uno de los mejores de la actualidad, tembién decir que nos hemos ido intercambiando recopilatorios para publicar en nuestros blogs, y que además es un amigo entusiasta, al que recurro frecuentemente cuando alguna cosa se me encasquilla, a lo cual el siempre responde efusivamente.

Asíque para mi, es todo un placer tener a todo un experto en surf para presentar esta tercera parte, así que sin mas demora os paso con él:

Hello there surfers, surfettes and others. 

Here's an introduction to volume 3 of fabulous "100 Instro Surf Masterpieces". My friend Jose asked me for help with this surf-instro series and I said yeah! It's gonna be a great pleasure. 

This volume kick off with The Pyramids "Penetration" their most famous instrumental track. Beside, they were famous for their shaved heads too, ya know. 

Then, we have "Point Panic" by The Surfaris one of the top 60's surf bands well known for their instro-hit "Wipe Out". 

"Road Runnah" by The Road Runners are more on the Hot Rod side of surf but kicks ass anyways. 

"Shark Attack" by The Atlantics, one of the best Australian 60's surf bands, is a killer tune with sounds that mimic the alarm of a shark attack that will give you a chills. 

The Hondells were an studio project produced by Gary Usher and "Hon-Da Beach Party" is a hot rod/surf instrumetal from their cool '64 debut LP "Go Little Honda". 

The Surftones "Cecilia Ann" became popular worldwide when it's covered the Pixies on their Bossanova lp. It is one of those lost 60's surf classics. 

The Woodchucks were actually Lee Hazlewood's studio project, a pseudonym for Lee's usual musicians The Wrecking Crew. 

The De-Vons "Free Fall", a studio project composed & produced by Gary Usher again. Not all surf groups came from California. 

The Rondels were instrumental band from Boston and here's their most famous track "On The Run". 

The Glaciers were surf studio project with Hal Blaine on drums, Glen Campbell on guitar, Leon Russell on keys and Lee Hazlewood, The Wrecking Crew! 

Then we have "The Swag" by The Tornadoes, a raw surfin' instro romp. 

Dick Dale & The Del-Tones are featured with two tracks on this comp. "Surf Beat" a surf classic from their debut LP and killer cover of "Hava Nagila" from their second slab. 

The New Dimensions issued three instrumental surf LPs for the small budget label Sutton, and here you got their The Astronauts-style instro "Failsafe" with reverbs overload! 

The Rally-Packs with "Bucket Seats" b-side of their sole '64. single were actually songwriter-producer team with P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri from The Fantastic Baggys famous L.A. surf band. 

"Squad Car" by Eddie & The Showmen is a frantic surf instro written by guitarist Paul Johnson (The Belairs, The Surfaris). 

The Ghouls, another surfin' studio project with Dick Burns, Gary Usher, Richard Podolor gives you cool "Voo Doo Juice" from their sole '64 LP "Dracula's Deuce".

"Breakfast At Tressels" by The Rhythm Rockers is a fine R&B/surfin' instro from their '63. album "Soul Surfin'". 

The Chevell's "Let There Be Surf" is a rare underground surf single known from "Diggin' Out" compilation. 

"The Phantom Driver" by Hal Blaine & The Young Cougars from their '1963. Lp, features early fuzz guitar sounds. 

"Hot Line" by The Ventures, one of the most famous instro groups, is a real cool spy instro from their 1966. album, later covered by The Bomboras. 

Then we have Davie Allan & The Arrows "The Unknown Rider" from 1966. The Wild Angels soundtrack. 

This real cool volume closes up with a laid back '66. instro track "Theme From Endless Summer" by The Sandals, the perfect tune for the end. 

Surf's up brothers and sisters!
