5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta take that one last ride, April 22, 2004

This is a great CD featuring some of the greatest surf hits of the '60s. Eleven of the tracks are instrumentals and seven of them feature vocals. I know that some people don't consider vocal songs to be "real" surf music, but I disagree. I love the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean and the rest. Recommended as a great starter for those with an interest in surf music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks like a good 1 CD compilation, February 17, 2003

This review is from: Surfin' Hits (Audio CD)

I have not purchased this CD. However, it looks like a distillation of the 2 album collection titled Golden Summer from the 70s. Looks to be an excellent 1 CD overview of the top songs from early 60s surf music for those individuals that do not want the expense of the 4-CD set Cowabunga.

The song by the Trade Winds,New York's a Lonely Town (When You're the Only Surfer Boy Around)is well worth the price of the CD.
