Artist:  The Surfers

Title:  The Islands Call

Date:  1961

Label:  HiFi Records   Album No. R427

Notes:  Lounge music at its best here folks. Just as the liner notes say, "Whether you are sitting in a lounge in Reno, Tahoe, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Hawaii or you name it…the audience reaction to the Surfers is invariably summed up in just one word: MORE". Of course each of the settings referred to probably serves copious amounts of alcohol and endorphin triggering food making the listener more susceptible to music from the islands. Leaning a bit more to the authentic Island music then your typical lounge act the boys are able to retain the mood from start to finish. Very nice cover shot of our heroes in their stage gear with a song on their lips and love in their hearts. Back cover B&W shot gives us the fellows in a lighter mood. Nice compliment to the Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman records in your collection.
