the truants
from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives,
vol.10" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"While we're on a surf kick, The Truants' single
"The Truant"/ "Sunset Surf" is also considered a surf
essential. It was tracked at Pal in 1963 and was issued by the Rock-It label run
by the late Bill Bellman. Lead guitarist Edward Rea (now a minister) wrote both
sides and played brilliantly. Rhythm guitarist Dick Zeiner later switched to
keyboards and played for two decades with former members of The Tornadoes in the
Redlands, California-based group The Gross Prophet.
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.""
