The Surfsiders - Sing The Beach Boys Songbook (LP Allegro ALL 867 - 1965) - Quite Rare!
Este LP para além de bastante raro é interessante, uma vez que Lou Reed canta em 2 dos temas do álbum, para além de outros em que introduz o som da sua guitarra. De lembrar que Lou Reed, no seu início de carreira, trabalhou para a editora Pickwick.
It has been discussed whether or not Lou Reed is taking vocals on Little Deuce Coupe and Surfin' - there is no general agreement among the Lou Reed experts however...
The LP was also issued in UK on Allegro ALL 867 ("A Product Of Pickwick International Inc (GB) Ltd").
Easily one of the most noteworthy attempts at ripping-kids-off-by-replicating-a-popular-group's-songs, the Surfsiders 1965 LP seems to have finally gained a kind of celebrity status over the last decade. Essentially a collection of hit Beach Boys singles as performed by atonal studio hacks with maybe a day to crank this damn record out, this baby manages to turn the original B. Wilson arrangements into simplified off-key bar band bleats loaded with dimestore barbershop quartet harmonies, all lovingly topped off by some frighteningly enthusiastic playing. Fun, fun, fun!
