First of all, many thanks to John Blair and Ivan for the history and reasoning. Dick Dale's embellishment (i.e. the big fish stories) is as larger than life as his guitar tone
Other than reading your post here, Ivan, I was unaware that Shake-N-Stomp was released as 2 versions. In my collection I must have about 5 instances of S-N-S and they all appear to be be same apart from mix/mastering differences and they all seem to be sourced from Surfer's Choice. Do you know if the original studio recording is readily available? Thank you in advance...
OK, on Spotify I just heard the original, studio version of S-N-S for the first time. Interesting for being a historical document but - wow! - what a massive, stellar (and more enjoyable) improvement that song experienced when it was recorded for Surfer's Choice!
