DICK DALE AND HIS DEL-TONES - MR. ELIMINATOR (180g LP)

Dick Dale And His Del-Tones Mr. Eliminator 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.  

It's more heart-stopping, rubber-burning dragstrip mayhem from the guitar of Dick Dale on his take-no-prisoners 1964 album, Mr. Eliminator. Whether its the fuel-injected, AA-gas thrills of the LP's title track, the south of the border shake and shimmy of "Taco Wagon" or the heroic guitar avalanche of "The Victor," Dick Dale and his Del-tones are in the driver's seat here.
