My first one was "Pulp Surfin'" which is some kind of unofficial compilation, but it really got me into surf music. The most obscure are probably 'Gulag Tunes' CD and 'Riding the Snowy Wave' compilation of Russian surf bands. One of the latest big finds is 'Phantom Guitars', a compilation of early British guitar instrumentals. — Sovietwave surf band 'Volny Sovetov' Bandcamp: https://volnysovetov.bandcamp.com Youtube (VS and other stuff): https://www.youtube.com/@user-lm8nl5km7h Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/streetsurf93 VK: https://vk.com/volnysovetov Legko na serdce ot pesni vesyoloi Top

I bought this, originally, on vinyl, when it was a new release. Years later, I found a copy on CD, from a seller in Japan and paid a hefty price to have it shipped here. — The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar.

A nice release. And I have good memories of that time seeing them play live, that stuff, along with the 'go hunting' material. Top notch, musical and performance. Pretty wild and entertaining gigs. The 60s vinyl releases of the lively ones. From the first wave bands, their sound and production is in my top 5 for sure. No surf but wacky instros 'les guitares du dimanche - s/t'.
