Album Review:

The main attraction of this 1963 Sandy Nelson album is its inclusion of the Beach Boys' 'Be True to Your School.' Sandy's rendition of the song is more of a march, which strips any of the California surf rock energy of the original. As with all of Nelson's work, most everything here is forgettable schlock.

​​

If you're into the whole school-themed album thing, I'd suggest the far superior Hot Rod High by the Knights.​​​​
