4.0 out of 5 stars turtle surf tunes, August 6, 2010

This is the earliest songs from the turtles when they were the surf group the crossfires. It has some great songs on it like 'one potatoe, two potatoe" ( a california hit regional single) , and 'silver bullet' and some average tracks too. The sound quality varies on these tracks but overall they are worth owning. In fact the whole turtles catalog is worth owning. The boys were just beginning at this point and they would explode into action in 1965 with their first turtles album. This one was of course a complilation of early preturtles tracks, and you do get excellent guitar playing, and a few harmonies but not like what was to follow. If you aren't a fan of sixties surf music then you won't like this one but that type of music is pretty fun actually. This one though is for turtles fans who should grab it.

The Crossfires were an early incarnation of the Turtles, back when they were a surf group. A little over half the CD is surf instrumentals, with "Silver Bullet" and "Fiberglass Jungle" being great, and the rest being average. There are also some songs with lyrics, most of which aren't that impressive, with the most interesting being "One Potato Two Potato", which sounds like an early precursor to bubblegum music. There are even two Christmas songs, including the hilarious "Santa and the Sidewalk Surfer". This CD will probably only be of interest to surf music fans or Turtles fans (I am both).
