Newly compiled by Pipeline Magazine, Ace Records' CD The Birth Of Surf traces the evolution of instrumental surf music from its rock'n'roll roots through to the minor classics and big surf hits of its peak year in 1963. The Birth Of Surf is the strongest single CD compilation of instrumental surf music ever assembled. Every track is a killer, each one capable of heading up an album of its own. As a result it's an exciting listen as well as an essential purchase for the casual buyer and collector alike.
