Editorial Reviews

DRAGGIN’ THE WAVES!!! Sundazed unveils our second thunderous batch of exact-album CD reissues chronicling the big ’60s roar of West Coast surf ’n’ hot rod! Original copies of these ultra-scarce albums have skyrocketed in value in recent years, and Sundazed has been granted the rare opportunity to liberate the original masters from the vaults of Capitol Records to give this groundbreaking music the royal treatment it deserves!

The three exceedingly rare original Mr. Gasser & the Weirdos albums — Hot Rod Hootenanny, Rods n’ Rat Finks and Surfink! — showcase the legendary artwork and sounds of hot-rod kustom-kulture king-pin Ed "Big Daddy" Roth along with some of the West Coast’s most frighteningly-talented studio heroes, including Glen Campbell, Jerry Cole, James Burton, Hal Blaine, Steve Douglas, Earl Palmer and more! The Knights’ Hot Rod High and the Kickstands’ Black Boots and Bikes showcase the stunning talent of leader/arranger/performer Gary Usher and his posse of studio buddies, while the Ghouls’ Dracula’s Deuce spotlights Usher as session-leader, the cavernous reverb guitar of Richie Podolor, plus the unique sounds of studio-mavens Bill Cooper, Hal Blaine, Dick Burns and many others!

Each disc features fully-restored vintage album artwork, dead-accurate mastering from the original analog reels, plus new liner notes by West Coast music authority Stephen McParland. It’s a BIG-ACTION round-up of vintage SURF ’N’ HOT ROD SOUNDS!
