Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA The Buddies - The Beatle c/w Pulsebeat
 | This is a nice single with one really good side. As with way too many singles, the b-side is very cool, while the a-side leaves you wondering what the label was thinking. The Buddies were a Buffalo studio band. |
Picks: Pulsebeat
Track by Track Review
The Beatle Rock (Instrumental)
Trashy studio rock with horns... that great tribal Bo Diddley beat with way too much organ chording.
Surf (Instrumental)
Excellent surf guitar in a slightly sad shimmering format. Vibrato, reverb, and a little haunted. Excellent dribbling guitar. The riff is played out across interesting chords. While "Pulsebeat" is no ball of fire, it is very cool in a moody surf way. This was the b-side to "The Beatle."
