Been searching for the elusive The Wild Angels music for years. I have both volumes on vinyl, but am happy to have finally found some of the songs on this disc. Would love to see both soundtrack volumes released as well!! C'mon Mr Allen!! Strike us with the arrows.

The song "Blues Theme" was the first 45 I ever wore out the grooves on - at age 6! This song was responsible for programming my musical tapes from day one: the raw guitar licks, the sounds of a starting chopper, the manic beat. The rest of the CD can't quite compare to Blues Theme, but it still holds up today.

This CD was much better than I expected. I thought that it would only be the music sound track from the movie "Wild Angels" but it was better than that. It had two pieces from the "Wild Angels", one from the "Devils Angels", the James Bond theme, the Peter Gun theme, Star Trek theme, among others. I didn't realize that this group, the "Arrows", was involved with so many movie music sound tracks.

Word!! This is very possibly what got me into surf music, when I heard "blues theme" in the background of a ny public access show called Magnanimous. Then I saw the movie, what a suprise. One of the most memorable opening scenes ever. I've been humming it for years when ever I ride my bike.

I have been searching for Davie Allan material for a long time. I'm glad I got to download some excerpts. It only makes me want to get the "real thing." The stuff sounds as good today as when I had it on a record (Remember those?) Can someone help me? Does Davie still perform with the Arrows? If so, I would really like to see him live. Is Davie in a chat room? What a "trip" it would be to talk to this legend in person!
