About this title

Synopsis

A second edition chronicling the breaks and wipe outs of the sixties surf bands featuring 49 groups and their stories told by the members themselves. Guitarists Dick Dale and Duane Eddy are starred along with groups like The Esquires, The Marauders, and The Surftones. Each band's big hits are profiled, along with a "what they're doing now" section giving readers an idea of where surf guitarists go after their stars fall (quite a few in the electronics industry). Includes some 400 photos and illustrations. Indexed by group and personal names, and by song and record titles. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
