*More* Surf Legends [and Rumors]

I'm assuming that Steve had nothing to do with this "more" version on Garland Records [seen here ] as it's neither Del Rack/DCC and none of the groups look like those recorded by the Wenzels in beautiful [ugh!] downtown Downey. That being the case, how could Garland Records [who are these guys, anyways?] rip off the title from the Del Rack original?

 

Hey Ron,

Garland is DCC..Del-Rack is DCC...they were all one happy DCC label family...

I couldn't pull up the ebay link...Steve did do a second volume with the title you mention. "More Surf Legends (And Rumors)" Garland GZS-023...28 tracks of surfin frenzy...sounds GREAT!!!

 

Yeah, that's Steve posing on the cover, too....some surfer dude back in the day....

ron,

Steve DID stuff for GARLAND, which was part of Dunhill Compact Classics. "Footstompin' Oldies" and "Remember When" (other Garland oldies comps) have been in my collection since their original release time!

 

Well . . . CAWABUNGA guys! Thanks for the heads up. I thought for sure some Johnny Come Lately was rippin' SH off. Shows just how wrong ya can be.

 

Ed's right!

Steve would have turned PRO, as I recall, 'cept the BEARD and HAIR kept gettin' in the way!

 

Believe it or not, this is the second swipe at Downey that I heard today (the first was this morning from a colleague). Hey, a town that gave us the Carpenters and the Blasters can't be all bad.

And Johnnie's Broiler...

 

I used to hunt down used records at Wenzel's in the early 1980s as I worked not too far from his shop. Cool place with real atmosphere. Didn't know about the "Pipeline," et al., connection until after I got the Surf Legends CD many moons ago and read the liners. I remember chatting with Bill [?] Wenzel, the producer/engineer, and finding out that he graduated from the high school where I was at that time teaching. He didn't seem all that impressed.

 

For your information: Garland & Del-Rack are the same - DCC

 

Ron, By the way, it's not a Fender Bass, but rather a Gibson Thunderbird.

 

Er . . . I personally wouldn't know the difference between a Gibson Thunderbird and a Buick Skylark. The quote in my signature comes from a SH tongue-in-cheek comment in the liners. And besides, are you saying that all the groups featured on the CD used Gibson Thunderbird basses?

 

Ron: Maybe, but I don't think it's that important. Why don't we move on.

 

Which brings up the next point: namely, can my stereo handle all that Fender bass?

 

Thanks for the correction, Steve.

 

Ron,

You are just going to have to crank it up and find out (assuming that you have a copy).
Hope your neighbors don't mind. Mine didn't

Saucier [!?!] Mississippi? Let me guess . . . It's friggin' HOT there right now! Here in Japan the summer has been the mildest that I can ever remember. Last few days have been *chilly.* In any event, glad you made the move OK. Let me know if you need anything from Tokyo.

 

Yes Ron, it is friggin hot. Humid too. The jet lag did not help. Moving from Japan was an adventure. You would not believe the trouble we went through to get the cats here. Then again, you live in Japan. You would believe it. It was about as easy as running naked through fire. I will let you know if we need anything from Japan.
