Poor Man's Beach Boys..........2004-01-13

If you'd like to hear a couple of discs of the Surfaris abandoning their wonderful original sound and style and trying to sound like the Beach Boys then by all means, pick this one up.
Personally I'd rather pop in a copy of their excellent "Surf Party" and get to the real stuff.
It's not that this music isn't well played, just that it had all been done before. This isn't what made the Surfaris great! I think they realized this later, and it definately shows in the live "Surf Party" CD which I believe was recorded 6 or 7 years after these two disappointing efforts.
Steer clear of this one and save your money for something real.

Lets Go on a surfin' Surfari to the Beach Boys studio!!!.......2003-09-26

Yes, this is a great compilation of tunes from a surf band mainly recognized for their instrumentals. However, it's really the vocal tracks that stand out on this release. It's not clear who actually sang most of the lead vocals on this CD.
It is quite confusing because the drummer's name is Ron Wilson, and the vocals on most songs sound exactly like Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. Most sources say that Ron Wilson and Brian Wilson are not related, but I'm not so sure about that.
