Super Surf Sampler!

"Eddie Angel (The Planet Rockers, Los Straitjackets, The Neanderthals) runs his own label, Spinout Records, and among their output are some of the coolest comps you'll find anywhere. These tend to feature songs available elsewhere, but that doesn't take away from the good taste he shows when putting them together. On this one the bands include The Fathoms, The Insect Surfers, The Tiki Tones, Sir Bald Diddley, The Omega Men ("Sack O'Woe", one of their BEST tracks), Jon & The Nightriders, The Space Cossacks, The Untamed Youth, The Huntington Cads, Satan's Pilgrims, The Halibuts, and The Boss Martians ("More Booze, Less Ice", from the INTOXICATING SOUNDS... EP). This is my favorite of the 3 comps in this series so far! If you know or like ANY of these bands, check this out-- you MAY find yourself going after many of the others."

"This comp embodies a lot of different sounds and bands - thats why I love it! Its got 3 of my top rated bands on it - The Untamed Youth, Boss Martians, Tiki Tones and shows off a variety of stomp-worthy tracks. I think they could have picked a better track for the Tones but oh well - this disc has been in rotation on the home hi-fi for quite some time. I highly reccommend it ladies and germs! surfin tom"
