Those of us who've hanged 10 in our dreams know Wipeout by the Surfaris. These, however, are the Original Surfaris, some kids from the Fullerton area of Orange County who arrived at their name not via the Beach Boys' Surfin' Safari, but via the Safaris' doo-wop hit Image of a Girl. Such romantic notions can't deter drummer Mike Biondi from unleashing a maniacal drum solo that squeezes as many rim shots into 12 bars as the other Surfaris' Ron Wilson unloads in an entire chorus. Wild and woolly though the Original Surfaris may be (Larry Weed's ripping leads are precise and deadly) they also know their way around a ballad; Surf Angel is as wonderfully mushy as anything by Rosie & the Originals. --Jud Cost

Could anything be better than surf music played by crazed spacemen? Not likely! And here's the proof: guitar-wrangler Jerry Cole and His Spacemen's stupidly rare 1964 LP, Surf Age! While most of Cole's albums were cranked out at the astounding pace, Surf Age, his second LP for Capitol Records, was by comparison a production of epic proportions. For the sessions, Cole and his hand-picked all-star crew of LA studio cats labored to create an album unlike any other, an endlessly inventive amalgam of surf and `60s pop. The original liner notes say it most eloquently: One listen to the music of Jerry Cole and His Spacemen will tell you that theirs is the sound of the SURF AGE! Their beat is as dynamic as tomorrow's crashing waves; their instrumental blend is as fresh and modern as tomorrow... Less
