Sidewalk Surfing is about all I've ever done and this twangish sax driven LP probably wouldn't have cut it as a soundtrack for those late night skips up or down 5Th ave back in me youth, but it makes for fantastic squeasy listening in the now.
I have a theory about these Lp's and there are hundreds if not thousands of them on labels like Crown, Diplomat, Sutton as well as the "Big Guns" like Del-Fi and Liberty, reprise etc...anyway my theory is much like the Indian Restaurants on 6Th Street story we heard as kids all the food was prepared in the same huge underground kitchen, all these records are made by the same band or bands of musicians who would churn them out weekly if not daily for a flat fee never to think about it again. Some might have gone on to Rock & Roll glory others back to running their dad's hardware store or some other "reg gig" so when listening to these crusty luscious biscuits of the now sound you could be hearing Davie Allen, Dick Dale, or the guy you pick up your dry cleaning from ya never can tell...I've run long in the tooth long enough so without further here is The Good Guys Sidewalk Surfing.

Great album! This couldn't have come at a better time for me. At work me and a coworker were cursing some kids for their "crazy sidewalk surfing". I'll be listening to this one for sure! Thanks a lot.

Man, you have one outstanding record collection! Thanks for sharing all this magnificent wax with us. Sidewalk Surfing makes a nice twin-spin with Mr. Swank's Wedges platter!

I love this syuff. This band is actually the Challengers pretending to be sidewalk surfers. All these songs are on The Best Of The Challengers "WipeOut" LP which was one of the first surf LPs I ever got at a garage sale for 25 cents.

This is a very cool album!
Unfortunately it seems somethings wrong with links to tracks 03 and 04 - they both cut out before 30 seconds.
