Super odd release because despite the cover nothing on here is very surfy. In fact, most of the songs are covers of traditional songs (‘When The Saints,’ ‘Old Macdonald,’ etc…) that had been previously appeared on two Mike Adams and the Red Jackets Lps - Surfers Beat and Twist Contest (same album). Everything’s played in a pseudo-twist 50s style.

Therefore, the only real surf-related song on this whole release is the opening track, ‘Surftime’ which oddly enough is actually The Beach Boys’ ‘Surfin’ U.S.A.’ under a different name.

With these things in mind, I can only award this album half a star.

​

Side note: there was another album issued by Viking Records with the same cover picture called Surfer Girl with no credited artist.
