First heard this years ago on one of the SURFER'S MOODS comps, a great series of surf comps that everyone should own if you don't have them! — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! www.facebook.com/BossFink www.doublecrownrecords.com Top

Was there perhaps some tape echo on that also, or maybe just the recording method at the time? — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.

From 1964, The Good Guys/ Challengers doing Collision Course! Thee man himself PJ, Paul Johnson told me he played the Fuzz on this one! It blew my mind!

shivers13 Joined: Jul 29, 2009 Posts: 2605 Boss Angeles, CA	Posted on Aug 21 2014 08:31 PM Indeed! Here's a hot rod surf tune from '64 featuring a killer fuzz guitar lead at the 1 min mark. Another studio group featuring the wrecking crew headed by Steve "Shutdown" Douglas. Some like to dismiss these studio musician recordings but I dig 'em bigtime!

Sonichris Joined: Mar 06, 2006 Posts: 1910 Wear gloves - I'm in the Rockies	Posted on Oct 09 2014 10:15 PM I love that live track! I can hear just how bad-ass the guitar really sounded live. Even the sax is cool! I think this was recorded at the Disneyland hotel. Original 60's live surf is so rare, this is a real treasure! — "You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" Top

The Rhythmn Rockers from Michigan (not to be confused with the SoCal surf band with the same name) recorded this very surfy number in 1960. I first heard this on Vol 1 of the great Strummin' Mental LP comp from 1989.

IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Jan 08 2015 10:26 AM I think they were part of the South Bay scene and a few of them were later part of the Challengers, if my memory is correct.

I'll try to remember where I read about them... OK, it came back to me - a few members of the Baymen went on to join up with the Challengers for the Dick Delvy produced spy-instro band the Clee-Shays. I think both Rob Edwards in particular but also John Anderson from the Baymen also became an important part of Eddie & the Showmen, providing those amazing rhythm guitar parts. I believe Edwards really became a right-hand man to Eddie Bertrand, too. Eddie talks about Rob in the Q&A on SG101 some years ago (which I condensed into the Continental #21 article). It appears that the Baymen were a very important part of the South Bay scene! — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top

And, if you can still find a copy, Domenic Priore's "All Summer Long" (Dumb Angel Gazette #4) has an amazing four-page foldout "family tree" of all the South Bay surf bands from The Frogmen/Belairs/Baymen to The Turtles, Everpresent Fullness, The Beach Boys, and even The Standells. — www.johnblair.us www.soundofthesurf.com Top
