专辑介绍

by Cub Koda

Very few early rock & roll albums were true groundbreakers, but this is one: not only did it single-handedly establish the surf music genre (and Dick Dale's hegemony over it), but also sold the entire concept to mass America, where surfing in landlocked regions was only a state of mind. Largely recorded at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa Beach -- Dale's ruling home turf, where one can clearly hear the kids screaming in anticipation at the start of &Surf Beat& -- this lays out the vocal highlights from Dick's set list (&Peppermint Man,& &Lovey Dovey,& &Night Owl,& &Fanny Mae,& and &Sloop John B.,& sounding very odd here with overdubbed strings) up against the instrumentals that truly forged the style. &Miserlou Twist& -- a different version than the original Del-Tone single -- and the original, pre-reverb single version of &Let's Go Trippin'& appear to be the only studio tracks aboard. But the live takes on &Surfing Drums& (later retitled &Tribal Thunder& on one of Dale's comeback albums), &Take It Off,& &Shake 'n' Stomp,& and the lowdown stomp of &Death of a Gremmie& just as clearly delineate the wild, reverbed excitement of the new style in its native habitat. Without a doubt, surf guitar's finest hour, the genre's equivalent to Charlie Parker's Dial recordings.
