Surfer Joe was the B-side to Wipe Out. Unfortunately the 45 RPM wasn't in stereo. They were mono until later in the 60s.Allhallowsday wrote: ↑May 24th, 2024, 9:57 pmI love Surf music. That's nice... this is what I listen to, including right now:

Okay, I was born in 1961 and was listening to our cousin's BEATLES 45s (and many more) by 1968. For me, I love a great recording and some are better in Mono.
One thing I'm not good at here is quoting and editing properly. So there is more than is necessary.Allhallowsday wrote: ↑May 25th, 2024, 2:03 pmOkay, I was born in 1961 and was listening to our cousin's BEATLES 45s (and many more) by 1968.

The collection I listen to is 80 percent Surf guitar; I skip most of the inclusions of vocal groups. I love THE BEACH BOYS who are well represented, but they AINT surf guitar. But the collection has all of those wonderful Surf guitar 45 essentials. "Surf Riders" "Diamond-head" "Theme from Endless Summer" ...

Sissy Spacek does an excellent job of making the text come alive, and it's wonderful hearing it read by someone with an authentic Southern accent.
I would like to see a thread about books and audiobooks!HoldenIsHere wrote: ↑May 25th, 2024, 7:51 pm I've been listening to an audiobook of Harper Lee's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD read by Sissy Spacek.
I'm not really a fan of the movie adaptation (I mean, it's okay), but I do recall liking the novel when I read it in high school although I haven't re-read it since then.
The book is told in the first person, narrated by the adult Jean Louis ("Scout") Finch, recalling the events from her childhood that led up to her older brother breaking his arm.
