artworkThis is a great single, two sides often associated with surf music done with all the flair and spunk that Peruvian garage surf can muster. Very cool!

Surf (Instrumental)

This is a raucous cover of The Trashmen's "Bird Bath," with surf tone and all the vocalizations required. Totally fun, full of life, and pumping good fun.

Surf (Instrumental)

One of the more original arrangements of Jerry Lordan's best known works. Nothing like the Shadows tameness, this is based on the Jorgen Ingmann version with plenty of surf reverb and cool picking effects, but does use some of the Shadow's phrasing. It shows what a little distance and creativity can do. The percussive attack and the throbbing vibrato verses add variety. Excellent power tom-toms, and cool drive.
