THE DIMINSHUNS
Rare Texas Surf 45
Here's a surf record that's so rare, it's off the map! The This is by the Diminshuns (pronounced – the Dimensions) and they're a Texas group that has as it's leaders James Herbert and James Anderson. The made it's way to shops in Dallas in June 1961 which puts it BEFORE hits like Dick Dale's "Let's Go Trippin'" and "Surfin'" by the Beach Boys, as well as ages before "Pipeline," "Wipe Out," "Bustin' Surfboards," even "Surfer's Stomp."
About the only surf records that pre-date this are "Walk Don't Run," "Moon Dawg!," "Church Key" and perhaps "Mr. Moto." Truly, it is among the first handful of surf record recorded and it's from Dallas, Texas where the surf is at least a six hour drive south.
So how did a record with such a small press go so unknown so long? I dunno, but you have a chance to get in on it now before it's quantified by some price guide. It could be out of reach in the near future.
