"Smells Like Surf Spirit" 1997

'90s surf instrumentals by mostly '90s bands of the genre, plus a cut apiece from recent albums by '60s legends The Chantays and The Impacts.
Not just a cool title for a comp, but a fine collection of material mostly from the impressive Dee Gee catalog. Some rare, some demo, some live, some just plain solid surf. Recommended without hesitation.
