Worthwhile but flawed
The photos and raw information make this book worthwhile for fanatics of instrumental surf music, but the author's writing style is rather dull and far too repetitive.

Even an old hodad like me enjoyed this quirky tour de force. If you have a milk crate full of Ventures records sitting in your closet, or an old Silvertone under your bed, you'll definately appreciate the info in this book. The author does an admirable job handling the esoteric and eclectic topic of Surf Music History. If you're a gremmie, you'll need this book to know which LP's to put on your Salvation Army Store shopping list. Buy this one before it goes out of print forever! I mean it!

INDISPENSABLE pour qui aime le surf ! ou le rock :),
By Olivier VINCENT (FRANCE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surfin' Guitars: Instrumental Surf Bands of the Sixties (Hardcover)
Un livre indispensable pour trouver des informations sur les groupes de Surf de Californie pendant l'âge d'or. Le livre est illustré d'une quantité de photos.Pour chaque groupe (49 groupes dans la seconde édition), leur histoire est racontée par un musicien vétéran du surf Robert J. DALLEY (qui recrée en 1979 le groupe de surf The SURF RAIDERS) et par l'interview des membres eux-même. Leur discographie est présentée à la fin de chaque bio. Un très bon index sur les groupes, artistes, titres principaux, films qui permet de trouver rapidement les infos termine ce magnifique livre : 360 pages de bonheur..:) Ce livre est en écrit en anglais. |
