CD reissue of their rare 1964 album (only 1,000 copies were pressed), with the addition of three bonus tracks from equally rare singles. Unexceptional, sax-driven instrumentals (save one vocal cut) that register fairly low on the surf voltage meter.

From traditional surf music first made famous by the likes of the Ventures and Dick Dale, to heavier rock riffs taken straight from the playbook of Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, there isn’t a dry seat in the house as the Isotopes journey through an array of genres.

The Surf Raiders were among the few bands who were considered the originators of the surf music revival. The members were Robert Dalley, lead guitar, Neal Kuzee, guitars, Loyd Davis, bass, Linda Dalley, keyboards and Dave Rodriguez, drums. Eventually Neal retired and was replaced by Tom Moncrief.
