Volume 8 - Fall 2014

I know the Dark Knight here is giving the Boy Wonder a hard lesson in surf, but most of this volume's tunes falls into the exotic category. I think I chose the cover because of my inclusion of Miserlou by Ray Maxwell (a pretty straight forward take (eh, Dick Dale rip off) on the instro standard. Hell, Sammy Kaye's Night Walker has more reverb to get your super hero juices flowin'!
At any rate, lots and lots of great tracks on this one. They're all damn good for the vigilante in ya!

And speaking of rip offs, the Marketts seem to pilfer their own catalog (i.e. Out of Limits) on Cobra. And then we have Green Onions...I mean Night Prowl, by the Del-Rays. Somebody told them to just call it Scallions, but it didn't sound nearly cool enough as Night Prowl.

Top track here is Enchantment by the Melody Mates. Give me an ethereal female wordless vocal element to your instro and I'm GONE! Add in an Eden Abez proto-hippie narration (more rip offs--this time of Full Moon) and you've got an instant Instro to End the World By!

Don Ralke---a King Bloodstone favorite---gives us another amazing track for our collections, Zooba! The other two tracks were on previous volumes, which means there's a fourth side out there somewhere! As I dug deeper into investigating artists like Ralke, Rene Hall, et al I would usually find success in getting the A and B sides of their 45s.

Please leave a comment if you dig what I"m laying down on the interweblogs for you!

Get lost here, Nature Boys and Girls!
