Search - Terry Dactyl & Dinosaurs :: Sea Side Shuffle

2007 digitally remastered reissue of this 1972 album from the band featuring future Stiff Records artist Jona Lewie. Blues rockers Brett Marvin & The Thunderbolts reached #2 in the UK with 'Sea Side Shuffle' in 1972, under the one-off jokey name Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs. There followed two more singles and an album using the name. Seaside Shuffle had originally been released by the production company Sonet in 1971. When the UK label took a license and promoted the single the following year, the single became an international hit. Differing to their parent group Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs served up an interesting blend of jug band and acoustic blues shuffle style sounds, not a long way from contemporaries Bronx Cheer and Mungo Jerry. Consider the instruments involved for a further clue as to the sonic atmosphere which, alongside your guitars and piano, include: African Whistle, Siren, Asba, Tin Cans, Kazoo, Zobstick, Woodblocks, Washboard, Dustbin and Rubber Duck! 16 tracks.
