The Impressions Lost Legends Of Surf Guitar LP (vinyl)
Fourteen sizzlin' surf guitar cuts recorded at the crest of the genre! Brothers Richard and Thomas Frost shred through these surf-rockin' standards - which were all tucked away until now. Turning in a smoking rendition of The Fugitive, later covered by the Ventures, and much later by Laika & the Cosmonauts, they also lay down a hot version of Opus Twist - also by way of The Ventures, written by Tommy Allsup and J.I. Allison of the Crickets. Three other instrumentals came from the Let's Hide Away & Dance Away With Freddy King album: San-Ho-Zay, Just Pickin' and Sen-Sa-Shun. They deliver a lovely Sleep Walk sans Santo & Johnny's steel guitar, and convert pianist Floyd Cramer's Last Date to guitar. Though they never released even a 45, these cuts prove without a doubt that they'd have been up to the task had the opportunity presented itself.
