Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 22+,000 positive feedback.   We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

"not for sale" ~ White Label Promo .....................................................

  1. HOLY GRAIL Original 1963 BEAUTY from the epicenter of surf-rock emerging from southern California (Beach Boys and all that non-jazz) .
The Rhythm Rockers released only this one LP 60 years ago !!!! ........................................................................
  1.   Considered one of the *best* of the genre ...
  2. Not only a clean MONO original yet also a pre-release

  4. MINTY CLEAN 1963 WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL
  5. ........................................................................

  7. The Rhythm Rockers were high-strung action-packed surf jammer teens from Southern California playing regularly with the surf-guitar "king" Dick Dale at the legendary "Rendezvous Ballroom." 

  9. Luckily, The RHYTHM ROCKERS released their only album "SOUL SURFIN'" which carries some of the most energetic, high-octane tracks of the early surf-rock wave.
    ........................................................................
    ​​

    'Surfin' at Matzatlan' opens up with a sultry guitar solo before launching into an otherwise rambunctious rocker. 'Rendezvous Stomp' is an off-kilter number with accents on the 1 and 2 rather than the usual 2 and 4. A slick cover of 'Ramrod' is followed by the bouncy 'Nine Toes' while the Gamblers' 1959 hit, 'Moondawg' gets a well-executed surfy makeover. 'Wipeout' (not the Surfaris' song) finds the band sitting comfortably in the surf/dance style as they trade solos with each other. 'Breakfast at Tressels' has appeared on various compilations since its release, while an airtight cover of  'Movin' N' Groovin'' (this time spelled 'Moovin') pays close attention to Duane Eddy's 1958 version. Both 'Get It On' and 'Caravan' don't excel much past the realm of 'filler material.' 

  11. The Rhythm Rockers finally slow down just long enough to cut the soothing 'The Breeze and I', which draws on an atmosphere of freshness. 
  12. In conjunction to the Rhythm Rockers rousing concert finale,  the band concludes this album too with their exciting 'You Can't Sit Down.'

  14. One of the very first surf albums, Soul Surfin' is a candid snapshot of what kind of music went on inside the hallowed walls of the fabled Rendezvous Ballroom. A regular attraction along with master guitarist Dick Dale, The Rhythm Rockers' first and only album rides high among the first wave of releases.
