Swansea's Carwyn Williams dominated the Welsh, British and European surf scene in the 80s as a maverick underdog from Mumbles, who through sheer talent and force of personality surfed his way to respect at the world's most dangerous locations, including the giant waves of Hawaii and competing against the best in Australia. His biggest achievement, however, was to overcome a devastating injury which threatened to end his career just as it was taking off. This intimate portrait charts Carwyn's rise to the top of the sport. A story of pioneering adventure, danger, tragedy, rehabilitation and reinvention.

The names may not be familiar, but the songs on this compilation certainly are! Because these are the original versions of songs later made famous the world over. Rock & roll legends like the Beatles and Beach Boys, the Clash and Elvis Presley, would have first heard these songs as treasured 45rpm singles or LP tracks, played over and over on juke boxes and family gramophones. In some cases, the remake was a note for note cover; at other times, the original artist would struggle to recognize their own song! So when it comes to settling arguments about who did the original version, in future you can settle them by referring to the 40 tracks collected here.
