Description
The Phantom Surfers’ Play the Great Titles delivers 14 original compositions with names borrowed from music, cinema and literature. Don’t expect a covers album: “Dancing Queen”, “The Seven Samurai” and “Highway to Hell (The Piña Colada Song)” are titles, not clues to familiar melodies.
That playful premise makes this Hi-Tide Recordings release a natural pick for surf-rock collectors who appreciate a little mischief alongside their instrumental kicks. Fans of Los Straitjackets, The Bomboras and Man or Astro-man? should find plenty of reason to investigate.
Presented here as the limited clear green vinyl LP edition (HT-151), the album comes housed in a vintage-style reverse tip-on jacket. It’s a distinctive addition to a surf collection, pairing an irreverent concept with collector-friendly presentation.
Great titles, their own music. Drop the needle and leave your expectations at the door.
