The Dinks!

I bought this record a while back visiting Pennsylvania.  Got some great records up there… had to pay a bit, but the results are remarkable.  This one is by The Dinks on the Sully label.  Great garage sound overall with Nina-Kocka-Nina sounding a little more punk/ska.  Amazing that a song 50 years old trumps the sounds of today.

Here’s the sound clip!

The Glaciers

Now this is a cool instrumental album. The Glaciers, “From Sea To Ski”… a really cool vinyl on Mercury Records. Surf styled, hot-rod tunes with great album cover art. This one is a great collector piece for anyone with an extensive vinyl collection – and I just so happen to be one of those people. But hey, at some point, the album will leave the nest here and find a new owner.

here’s a great record. I don’t care who you are – everyone can dig The Trashmen! The hit song of course is Surfin’ Bird and the B side is King of the Surf. This is an early pressing of these hits on the Garrett label – GA 4002.

I came across this album today… haven’t heard it in forever. It was great to play tonight. Brought me back to my roots growing up at the beach. I actually learned to surf on a board like the ones on the cover, and OLE pop-out – but that’s another story completely.

Cover’s in VG+ condition and the record is the same. Nice shape all around. Its hard to find these in nice condition like this. I guess they got played quite a bit back in the day.

Kickstands…

Awesome, early rock-n-roll with The Kickstands. As the cover shows, the record is all about motorcycles. The sound is like the Beach Boys, except substitute motorcycles with surfboards. Pretty cool album.
