Product Description
Album Description
* 26 rockin' instrumentals from the studio that created the Chantays' `Pipeline' and the Rumblers' `Boss'.
* This compilation ties together all the surf and rocking instrumentals recorded at the Downey Studios or for Downey Records in the early 60s. Most were released on small indie boutique labels, if not on the Downey imprint itself.
* There are some previously unreleased items, and a few that were initially unearthed for a now-deleted, badly mastered and totally un-annotated Dunhill CD in the 80s. With this release we have tried to include as much information as possible in Brian Nevill's exhaustive sleeve notes together with some great photos for the booklet.
* This is a must for surf and instrumental fans who like to have one studio, one label, one legend in one place. For everyone else, we've got alternate takes and unavailable masters, so there's no excuse for this not to be on your shelf.

The "experts" i e the Rock Critics insisted that the British Invasion had seen off surf music but this is not quite right.
Surf revival apart it never really died as a valid form of American pop music-after all Wipeout charted again in the mid 60s and the hundreds of goups playing surf music had ever changing lineups as this CD shows.
It concentrates on the Downey label and its offshoots and is the 4th in the series.
Surf and hotrod music was probably the first real garage music

Ranging from uninspired to incompetent
3 April 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
No hidden gems here - the comparison to a Rhino collection is laughable. I love this kind of music, and I could barely get through the whole CD. Not worth the listening time, let alone the price. Many songs are very poorly mixed, and most seem like warm-ups or discard takes. Too bad the title is the best part of the package.
