5.0 out of 5 stars If you only purchase one surf album ever..., August 30, 2001

... then this is the one to get. Not only does the disc have all of the obvious classics like "Wipeout," but the more obscure tracks from the first explosion of surf music in the '60s. But it's not all reverb guitar cliches here. There's a diversity of style, evident in the 4/4 rock stylings of "Surfer Stomp," the lush orchestration of "The Lonely Surfer" and Dick Dale's penchant for Middle Eastern melodies.
The CD also features a very well-written booklet about the emergence of surf music, providing a great introduction for groms, surf neophytes and even jaded big kahunas. Well worth the five star rating!

This is a great album of surf instrumentals from the 1960s. It contains almost all of the best known surf classics, although "Out of Limits" is not here (it's on a different volume of this series). In addition to the classics, there are a few lesser known gems thrown in as well. If you only want to get one album of surf music, you can't go wrong with this one. Highly recommended.

I couldn't have put together a better CD myslef. This has all the surf classics that I have been longing for on one CD. The Pyramids "penetration" and the Lively Ones "surf rider" are truly great! This CD is a must, one of the most listened to in my collection
