I still plan to get the other Bombora albums. It wasn't terrible.
Didn't really care for the vocal numbers. To me Man or Astro-Man?
holds a monopoly on the good vocal instrumental surf tunes. And I got
a Finks album which hasn't came. Members of the Finks became the Bomboras?
Speaking of Man or Astro-Man? vocal numbers. I just love Mermaid Love.
What an amazing song.
