I might be wrong, but I always thought the Torquays were a traditional surf band formed in the 90s. Or did they also play and record in the 60s? Hmmm

Anyway, it's a great song (and always part of our set list) and Steve Soest would surely see it as a compliment to have it included among the classics. Smile

oh dear, i think you're right. since i listed 11 tunes i guess that's the one to eliminate. Smile

www.surfintheeye.com

looking at my list i'm thinking i'm wrong on the era of the clee shays. i can't find when the tune 'beyond' was written by spickard/carman but the CD i have is a 1998 release.

i guess i'm down to 9 tunes. i'll find one more.

upon further investigation the clee shays compilation was released in 1998 but apparently the recordings were from 1965-1966. richard delvy was involved in this group of musicians.

so, i guess i'm back up to 10 tunes. Big Grin

Hanna-Barbera Presents Squiddly Diddly's Surfin' Safari - "Surf Busters". Yep I know it might not be the most sensible 1960s surf track but it's one heck of a guitar piece and I can't help but include it.

Gaaaahhhh, as many others have noted, it's very hard to narrow it down to just 10, so the spill-over is included. Missing so many more. The Surf Revival top 10 will be just as hard if not harder.
