I loved it. Top

ElMonstroPorFavor Joined: Sep 01, 2006 Posts: 2732 New Orleans, LA	Posted on Oct 05 2008 08:43 PM ha! thanks for visiting my blog I've really come to like the album and wouldn't mind hearing more Bo Troy if I could ever find it. IIRC I've got the back cover of that album zipped along with the files but if there's anything else I can help you guys with to figure out more feel free to let me know. — Storm Surge of Reverb: Surf & Instro Radio Top
Klas Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 2294 Stockholm, Sweden	Posted on Oct 06 2008 10:41 AM I think there were at least 3-4 budget label albums that used Dick Dale's "The Fairest Of Them All" and "We'll Never Hear The End Of It", with the rest of the album containing another band (usually a studio group). However, there is one exception, a really good no name comp on Guest Star Records which besides the two Dick Dale songs also has contributions from the Original Surfaris, The Surf Boys, and Surf Kings. As for obscure Dick Dale stuff, check out this 1963 footage of DD playing guitar wearing a bathrobe (not taken from any of the Beach Party movies): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWizljFjINs — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Last edited: Oct 15, 2008 00:06:51 Top
Kman1 Joined: Aug 29, 2008 Posts: 694 Surf City	Posted on Oct 14 2008 06:12 PM BTW Dick Dale played Surf before reverb. Ex: look up Surfin' from the movie Beach Party. — Sonichris I also like to think that all early 60's fender equipment is happy to be playing surf music again. After all, its the music it was meant to play. Top

Beach Party came after surf music hit popular culture. And after reverb. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?
