Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
This is the Davie Allan and the Arrows' classic released under the name the Hogs, but of course it's the Chocolate Watchband. It's almost as fuzzy as Davie's original, and with Ed Cobb's wooden malletted kick drum, it's pretty cool.
Surf (Instrumental)
The B-side of Blue's Theme, this is a bizarrely semi-melodic track, using a simple progression, and almost Richie Podolor tones. It's a strange side trip, seemingly waiting for completion. The last three minutes is a rambling mumbling psycho babble fest.
