The Surfaris - Wipe Out (1963)
This is THE surf album to own. The whole album is full of wild waves of early Californian garage rock. The classic song Wipe Out has become an iconic tune when thinking about 60's surf with it's screaming intro & energy-infused drum solos. In fact, if drums are your thing they dirty up the water with a version of Teen Beat & get crazy with the staple Walk Don't Run. I have to mention their cover of Green Onions as well with it's tingy guitar solo & organ. Almost the entire record is instrumentals, with Surfer Joe being the exception. It's a bit more along the lines of an early Beach Boys song. Grab your board & head for the nearest shore.
