Album Notes & Community Reviews

Explicitly designed to showcase the stereophonic capabilities of high-fidelity audio equipment, this instrumental rock record is characterized by extreme channel separation and heavy reverb. The massively twangy, highly aggressive electric guitar layers significantly foreshadowed the impending surf rock explosion of the early 1960s. The wildly entertaining, gimmick-heavy production stands as a vibrant artifact of the Space Age pop era.
