    b,121Not to be a hair-splitter, but not all instrumental rock & roll back then was "surf"...

    b,121ha ha, yeah I know, but it's a pretty handy term for describing instrumental rock of that era though, definitely if I think "tepid* surf" something along the lines of "Let There Be Drums", "Guitar Boogie Shuffle" variations should get your mind somewhere in the ballpark. That sort of immediate "pre-surf explosion" of probably the tail end of classic rock & roll instros. *not using tepid in a negative way.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Heh, kind of reminds me of when I used to work in a record store with a guy whose main tastes leaned towards 1970's jazz/funk like Roy Ayers and Donald Byrd...I was once playing the CD of Booker T. & the MG's Soul Dressing in the store, and he said he didn't like anything that band did from that era - it sounded like surf music to him...

    b,121bro you need Boogaloo Beat, it's one of the better ones. I haven't heard "Rebirth Of The Beat" though either, it looks like it's good too though.

    Well, last night I bought Beat That $%&# Drum and The Beat Goes On, and of course they were cheap...I know a lot of people like this period of Sandy's career, but it's not doing too much for me. Not gritty enough...more like a northern soul/Austin Powers/shagadelic vibe, to me. Just when a song sounds like it's going to be half-decent, in comes these Herb Alpert trumpets that just turn the whole thing into mayonnaise. At least the Ventures, during THEIR "au-go-go" phase, held on to their rock & roll edge. So, I'm not sorry I bought these joints, but I won't be playing them much (if at all).b,121b,121I wonder what his best-of sounds like...

    "Cheetah Beat" has a couple of cool tracks with fuzz guitar on them.

    sandy nelson records suck...the only thing his records are good for is that occasionly there are some cute 60s chicks on the covers that can be harvested for a flyer or two...

    b,121b,121Oh, no, no, man, don't take it like THAT, all apologies...just a difference of opinion is all...didn't mean to come off that cold (and sorry if I did)...ya see, I am familiar with a few of his early hits, liked them, and based on that, I was kinda curious about later Sandy, so I bought those two albums...not a bad reflection on you or anything...
