DICK DALE AND HIS DEL-TONES - KING OF THE SURF GUITAR (180g LP)

Dick Dale And His Del-Tones King Of The Surf Guitar On 180g Vinyl LP

In the half-century since he began his reign as King of the Surf Guitar, Dick Dale has remained one of rock's most innovative and influential axemen. A bold pioneer in the use of speed, volume and sonic texture, the charismatic Dale invented surf music, and in the process permanently altered the role of the electric guitar in rock 'n' roll.

Although he began releasing singles on his own Deltone label in the late '50s, Dale made much of his most enduring music during his '60s stint with Capitol Records. Now, Sundazed is making Dick Dale's reverb-soaked, genius LPs available once again, the way they were meant to be heard, on vinyl. Sundazed vinyl restoration of the vintage Dale catalog features his landmark studio albums Surfer's Choice, King of the Surf Guitar, Checkered Flag, Mr. Eliminator and Summer Surf, originally released between 1962 and 1964. All of those albums have been mastered from the original analog tapes, and are packaged with their complete original cover art.  

As fast as surf-guitar innovator Dick Dale blazes his way through searing versions of "Hava Nagila" and "Riders in the Sky" on King of the Surf Guitar, his terrific 1963 Capitol Records debut album, any doubts that Dale could duplicate the frenzied attack of his previous LP, the wildly successful Surfers' Choice, are completely erased. Whatever style of music; R&B, folk or pop, Dale tosses his hat into the ring and it always comes out pure surf, absolutely smoking-hot and the perfect accompaniment to your next beach-side stomp and frug session.
