Surfbeat

• Track Listing

Released in January 1963 on Vault Records, 'Surfbeat' was one of the very first surf albums to hit the stores across America. A compendium of the early surf sound, this record charts the history of the genre and planted the very roots on which the Southern California scene would grow. With excellent takes of rock & roll staples like 'Red River Rock', and with a nod to Dick Dale and The Beach Boys' 'Surfin' Safari', this is not only an essential and important surf album, but one of the most exciting too.
