the rotations
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.10" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Another one of Buff and Aerni's surf classics,
this time as The Rotations, was "Heavies." "Heavies" was
sampled by Frank Zappa at the beginning of side two on The Mothers Of
Invention's album "We're Only In It For The Money"."
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.12" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"We're
still riding a wave here, so let's hit the next five surf tracks. Frank Zappa
was behind the board when The Tornadoes recorded (James) Norman Sanders'
"The Inebriated Surfer," the B-side of their single "Moon
Dawg." This single mix is different than the later album mix. The Truants'
"Sunset Surf" is a very sedate piece, with Edward Rea's guitar going
into Duane Eddy territory. If you listen closely, you can hear where Rea changes
guitar effects during the song! The Rotations' "The Cruncher" was the
B-side of "Heavies" and another respected surf work. Of course, The
Rotations was another name that Paul Buff and Dave Aerni used when they were not
recording as The Bongo Teens, so we have a stereo mix of "Baja Bongos"
that was not originally released. Our last surf track in this run is The
Esquires' "What A Burn," done at the same session as their A-side
"Flashing Red.""
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.19" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"The
Rotations' "The Cruncher" is presented without its surf tape as well. "
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.20" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"The Buff Organization's "Tarzan" is definitely one of the most
unusual tracks that Paul and Allison Buff did. Their Tarzan was just as clumsy
as "George Of The Jungle"! Equally unusual is "The Parrot Goose
Song." Check it out! The only existing fragment of The Rotations'
"Like Surf" (with Paul Buff and Mike Dineri) has been included. Why
can't the whole thing be released? Well, we're missing a large piece of the
acetate that has the only version of the song! "
