Album Review:
Annette's final release before her semi-retirement from show business has very little to do with surfing or the beach at all, yet it's included here for the backing track of two songs. While it's almost certainly the same session musicians who provided the backing tracks to her previous surf outings, most of the tunes here are either older Funicello recordings or down-tempo mid-sixties numbers.
​
'All My Lovin' is a cover of the Lennon-McCartney song and is played at such a breakneck speed that it's almost unbelievable how fast the guitarist is changing chords. It's also performed in surf style. The second is the 'Little Blue Ballroom', which is a quasi-Four Seasons-surf tune.
