"SURFIN' AROUND THE WORLD" - Vol 1

Great surf comp from 1995 featuring bands from USA, UK, Germany, Holland.This compilation features three tunes each from six of the greatest surf bands in the world, at least three of which, coincidentally, are from the Bay Area. Some highlights of the record come from the Trashwomen, down and dirty garage-surf queens from San Francisco whose "Nightmare at the Drag" will surely whip you into a furious frenzy. The Astronauts contribute two of my favorite songs from the album, the cool, Ventures-esque "Space and Shore" and "Penetration." The Car Thieves, the raunchiest, dirtiest surf band around give us the great "You Silly Savage," which is faster than a speeding bullet and over almost before it begins. The Surf Trio, whose clean, catchy surf style sort of reminds me of Dick Dale, also contributes some scorchers, as do the Apemen and Sir Bald Diddley and his Honourable Big Wigs. Pin Up records is putting out some boss tunes these days, and this record is a prime example. My advice to you: go buy this record before your friends beat you to it. - lizzie Boredomtraxfromwax:
