"KFWB was (and still is) a Los Angeles based radio station. This album features surf instrumentals. The odd thing is, a lot of the tunes here have the wrong title. "Vesuvius" is really "Pipeline", "Get It" is really "Last Night", "Tor-Chula" is really "Hot Pastrami" and "Revellion" is really "Surfin' USA" (and those are just the ones I recognized off of the top of my head). Anyway, most of these surf instrumentals are pretty good, if unexceptional. "Driftin'" (if that's the actual title) is an interesting blend of surf music and the blues, which makes it stand out a bit. Overall, this is an average surf album."

Who won the battle? You decide!!

"I just got it in the mail today. It's has great insturmentals from great surf bands such as The Challengers and The Lively Ones. It would have been five stars but there were no liner notes or anything explaining KFWB's history with surf music.
My favorite song is "Get It", by the The Soul Kings. If you love surf music , then give this CD a listen!!"
