Editorial Reviews

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Shockwave! the newest edition in our ultra-successful Lost Legends of Surf Guitar series, comes along and smacks you upside the head! Jammed full of reverb-drenched, stringbending classics by surf warriors like the Avengers VI, Truants, Citations, Stagemen, Belairs, Teemates and more, Shockwave!—like our previous volumes—is taken from the vintage source tapes, assuring the sound to be breathtakingly accurate. No rock ’n’ roll genre thrives as heartily today as surf guitar, with sounds so universally intoxicating they’ll serve an oceanside Malibu beach party just as well as a weekend barbecue spread in Arkansas. Kowabunga, y’all!

I do not know all the inside info on all those obscure bands that hit the surf in California in the (esp. early) 60s. But I do know a lot about other music, Classical, Jazz, 70s & 80s disco, or in other words, the sound of good stuff! This is! The Cowabunga 4 CD set to me seemed unbeatable. Until this issue by Sundazed records came out. What an absolute GREAT sound the surf music is! Guitars, slow or rough, the melody, it truly captures the unspeakable beauty and excitement of surfing in the Pacific!
Loaded with info, the booklet is a wealth of information about all those bands you do not know the names of. Now you do, and you can check them out on individual albums if you want. Go for this set, all 4 of them! And check out the Rare Surf volumes 1-2-3 too!
Conclusion: 60s surf to me is the coolest, greatest sound around!
