When Del-Fi owner Bob Keane sensed that the surf wave had crested in the summer of 1963, he latched onto instrumental hot-rod music as the possible Next Big Thing and arranged some sessions with some of LA’s finest to create the scorchin’ sides you’ll find here on this threefer. This ranks as some of the most enjoyable instrumental music of the era, a mix of surf, rockabilly, country, R&B, jazz and Latin influences mastered by Keane to burn serious rubber!
