Johnny & The Hurricanes
16 Greatest Hits
Rock (??) CD 10009
Comments: Johnny & the Hurricanes were OK, but I don't think they
played surf music. There will always be borderline cases
in deciding who is "in" and who is "not in" a musical genre,
but I think it's generally accepted that to be considered
surf music a recording needs at least one of the following:
(1) reference to surfing or beaches in the title (or lyrics,
for vocal surf music); (2) small combo (guitars-bass-drums,
possibly sax or electric piano) with melody lead played on
guitar; (3) reverb on lead or rhythm guitar; (4) recorded by
a Southern California band that was part of the original surf
culture 1960-65. I don't think J&H qualify on any of these
scores. Instrumental surf is not co-extensive with instrumental
rock and roll, but is a subcategory.
(aek) Agreed.. The Neon Spores used to cover some of their stuff
(on the other hand, they used to cover Billy Vaughn too :-) )

"Boss (released October 1962) was regarded as an instrumental
surfing hit but we were an R&B group: we were a black group with
white skins. We did a lot of James Brown and used Joe Houston's
All Night Long as out theme song. We dressed well and had all of
our songs choreographed." -Wayne Matteson (Fender bass, some guitar)

Ventures
Greatest Hits
Curb D2-77376
Comments: The Ventures are a borderline case. They covered a number
of surf tunes, and some of their catalog was surf-influenced
(in particular the "Surfing with the Ventures" album, and
the reverbed "Walk Don't Run '64" single). For those reasons
they merit inclusion. But much of the material included here
was pre-surf, and much was later clearly non-surf.
