Track by Track Review
All My Loving British Invasion Surf (Instrumental)
Twangin' Brit-surf doesn't fall from the Liverpool tree. "All My Loving" is a fun track, but not particularly memorable.
Surf (Instrumental)
I wouldn't have guessed that the Four Seasons were a good surf source. Then again, Bob Crewe often wrote melodic slightly had edged pop-rock songs. Not bad!
Surf (Instrumental)
Danny Hamilton's "No Matter What Shape" was a smash for the T-Bones, a studio amalgam that later used the name Hamilton, Joe Frank, & Reynolds. This take relies heavily on the original, except for its prominent use of reverb twang.
Please Please Me Surf (Instrumental)
John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote and hit with "Please Please Me." This is very Liverpool twangish, as you might expect. Fun, but unremarkable.
Surf (Instrumental)
Often played by surfbands, Del Shannon's "Runaway" is done here in a gentle fashion with twangin' charm. Not particularly original, or even distinctive, but very pleasant.
Surf (Instrumental)
P. F. Sloane's twangin' spy monster is done in a gentle splashy way not unlike many others, but the melody is always cool to hear.
