In the early 1960s, the high school students who made up the legendary surf rock outfit The Surfaris scored an incredible hit with their debut instrumental, 'Wipeout,' and its sung B-side 'Surfer Joe' would be belatedly hailed as a classic, but the circumstances of the hit's reissue by Dot led to a faux debut album that only featured the band on those two songs. 'Play' was the bonafide 1963 debut LP that solidified their reputation, with 'Surfing Drums' reportedly inspiring Keith Moon; a one-off take of the 'Batman' theme is enjoyable, but the originals really delight. Calling all surf rock fans: this genre-defining LP is an absolute must have! Comes on clear vinyl.
