Praise Poems Volume 5

This is particularly true when speaking of tiny independent re-issue labels where one, two or three guys have to take care of everything. Tracking down musicians, collecting their stories, writing the liner notes, creating the cover artwork, mastering the songs, promoting the release, communicating with pressing plants and distributors, and so on. Most of the tasks mean fun with the exception of one thing …
Ultimo Tango a Parigi

Bustin’ Surfboards
Waxed in 1964 for the Josie label, the Tornadoes’ Bustin’ Surfboards was one of the very first surf LPs released - not to mention one of the best. Home to the splash-smash title track (which later resurfaced in a big way, thanks to its inclusion on the soundtrack to the hit film Pulp Fiction), this reverb-and-sax-drenched classic bridged the gap between the rock ‘n’ roll guitar instrumentals of Duane Eddy and Link Wray and the pure surf styles of the Ventures and Dick Dale.
