Description
Up for sale is a great copy of music from the soundtrack for Bruce Bowen's "Endless Summer" performed by the Sandals. The release is on World-Pacific Records (World-Pacific 1832). The Sandals, also known as The Sandells, were an early, influential surf rock band formed in 1964. They are most famous for scoring the surfing documentary The Endless Summer. The Endless Summer is a seminal 1966 surf movie (the initial release was in 1964, world-wide release was 1966).
Filmmaker/narrator Bruce Brown follows two surfers, Mike Hynson and Robert August, on a surfing trip around the world. Despite the balmy climate of their native California, cold ocean currents make local beaches inhospitable during the winter. They, with Rodney Sumpter and Nat Young, travel to the coasts of Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Tahiti and Hawaiiin a quest for new surf spots and introduce locals to the sport. Other important surfers of the time, such as Miki Dora, Phil Edwards and Butch Van Artsdalen, also appear.
Its title comes from the idea, expressed at both the beginning and end of the film, that if one had enough time and money it would be possible to follow the summer up and down the world, making it endless. The concept of the film was born through the suggestion of a travel agent to Bruce Brown during the planning stages of the film.
Cover is Excellent, still in shrink. The red colored vinyl is VG++, very glossy.
