Big Noise from Waimea and Beyond.......2007-06-29

I bought these CD second, even though it was the first one released. Again I really enjoyed it as well, some great stuff here. Here you'll find Jim Messina(pre-Loggins & Messina)with his group the Jesters.Also a couple of great songs by a group called the Chandelles(El Gato & the Jetster) It pays to read the liner notes, you really get some great info into the time period and what was going on with theses groups. Also, a couple of songs from the hard to find "Original Surfaris" first Surf album. And the story behind them and the more well known So. Cal group we're all familiar with that released "Wipe Out", "Surfer Joe", etc..If you love the California West Coast sound, start collecting these CD's. It will help you fill in the musical gaps.

Does not do well at all in the digital cd system in my car. Sounds horrible. Needs remastering to conform to the new systems.

great compilation of lesser known surf music.......2004-08-25

.........my title says it all. Great stuff here by some of the lesser knowns. But great nevertheless. If you like surf music, get this. I probably have over 70 CD's of surf music and this is one of the best. 'Nuff said.

60's surf trip!.......2004-04-11

This is excellent collection of songs. The songs are very lively and entertaining. The most stunning thing about this CD is the reproduction quality. A lot of the songs sound like like they were just recently recorded, the audio is that good. You can hear the big influence Dick Dale had with other musicians on this CD. Their second CD "lost legends of surf guitar 2" has less surf oriented tunes with more hot rod songs, it makes me wonder if I should bother buying the third CD of this collection. The pyramids had one of the top surf tunes in "penetration" but the two pyramid tunes on here just sound like copies of that tune with the same minor sounding desending riff. This is an exciting collection of songs for all surf music fans. I also recommend their second CD even though it has hot-rod tunes.

This is the latest entry in the lost legend series and it is the best alblum since the very first lost legends alblum release. The songs match up and compliment each other better than any of the previous alblums in this series, so well that it sounds like a dance alblum. I give it a high recommendation for any surf music fan. Try alldirect.com for the best prices on this series of alblums.

great reverb and wonderful guitar riffs.......2004-05-12

If you play guitar or like guitar music - or, you're a Quentin Tarentino fan, you'll enjoy this CD.
Lots of lost "nuggets" from the time when Rock and Roll meant an instrumental with a killer guitar riff that hooked you and left you humming it all day.

I never surfed, I'm too young to remember the early sixties - but - this music has influenced and continues to influence not just guitar players but all of our culture.

break out your old Telecasters and crank up your reverb and jam!

ride the wave.......2004-04-25

This is probably the easiest listening alblum of the trio of CD's. None of the songs stand out at all and it did not seem as exciting to me as the first 2 CD's of the set. It is all authentic surf music with lots of saxaphone. Althogh a bit borring I can't complain on the production and recording quality of this third CD. If you purchased the first 2 CD's of the set you may as well buy this one and complete this outstanding collection of 60's surf tunes.

Stomp Along To More Surf Instrumentals!.......2003-11-12

Richard Delvy was the drummer for the seminal surf instrumental band the Belairs, then played drums for the Challengers, before becoming a record producer. Sundazed Records selected surf instrumentals produced by Richard Delvy to come up with volume three in their surf instrumental series. "Cheater Stomp" by the Fabulous Playboys starts this collection off with a rocking, stomping surf instrumental. Thom Starr And The Galaxies do a great version of "Mr. Moto," an early surf instrumental hit for the Belairs. "Volcanic Action" by the Challengers rocks along like a tidal wave. The surfed-up versions of the standards "Shortnin' Bread" and "(They Call The Wind) Maria" sound right at home among the more traditional surf songs. "Spanish Moon" by the Travelers closes out this collection with a slow song, signifying that the surfers are coming ashore for the night. With the large number of famous and obscure surf instrumental bands that were around in the early sixties, I hope that Sundazed Records continues to release more volumes in this series.

Really Cool Surf/Hot Rod Rock.......2007-06-29

I bought this CD first because it was reviewed as having a lot of Hot Rod rock on it(I am a big fan of Hot Rod Rock & am into Hot Rods myself). It does, although most of it is of the "Instrumental" variety with Hot Rod/Racetrack sound effects dubbed over the music in the background. That being said, it is a great CD with the pleasant suprise being a couple of unreleased Surfaris songs as well as some from David Marks(Early Beach Boys member)& his Marksmen. I particularly liked "Travelin", I could really hear the Beach Boys influence in that one. I also enjoyed "The Fugitive" from Jan Davis, right down to the baying bloodhounds. I was unfamiliar with him but enjoyed that one in particular. Also I liked a really funny song I hadn't heard before by the Tornadoes, "Shootin Beavers". These CD's are chock full of some classic old Surf/Hot Rod/California Sound songs, most long forgotten. Get it and Enjoy!

Very cool.......2004-05-18

Of the set, this is my favorite CD. But be aware this music is not for everyone. If you like crazy surf music complete with drag racing sound effects, barking dogs, and crazed killer laughs then stop here and push the "Add to cart" button! The sound quality is nothing short of fantastic. Even though it is in Mono, it is the best sounding compilation CD I've ever heard. If you never heard anything other than the Surfaris or the Ventures, you should lay down cash for this.

No Need To Panic!.......2003-11-12

Sundazed Records put a lot of time and effort into their surf guitar series. Although six of the twenty songs in this volume are hot rod instrumentals, they sound right at home among the obscure and previously unreleased surf instrumentals included in this collection. Jerry Cole And His Spacemen perform "Point Panic" as well as the Surfaris originally did. The Trashmen turn in a very good rendition of the Ventures' hit "Walk, Don't Run." "The Gremmie, Part 1" by the Tornadoes is a humorous song about beginning surfers. The Catalinas were a studio supergroup that consisted of guitarists Tommy Tedesco, Billy Strange and Jerry Cole, saxophonist Steve Douglas, and drummer Hal Blaine, with both Leon Russell and Bruce Johnston on piano! Their song "Banzai Washout" alone is worth the price of this CD.

Wonderful, sensitive playing...........2003-11-02

Ah, reader, consider this album. I have been listening to Bayless music for years, from Bach Meets the Beatles to his crazy happy birthday album in a dozen styles (Stravinsky's Rite of Birthday, a favorite), but this one has something special going on. The playing is so beautifully, and sensitively played that one is really swept away by the original movie tune, interwound with a classical piece, so seamless and amazing. One of my all-time favorite albums.

John Bayless is awesome.......2003-10-13

He's such a great talent, I was lucky enough to meet him almost 2 years ago. I got this CD autographed! :) He was such a nice person and performed so well on the stage. Buy this album, it's really awesome!

The One CD in My Collection I Never Tire of Listening To.......2001-03-24

John Bayless had a vision for this album---to combine the most beautiful classical pieces along with the most romantic and engaging movie themes of all time. The arrangements and the way in which he weaves the varous pieces together, sometimes playing both themes simultaneously, are incredible. They lift you up and carry you away. The various instrumental additions (such as the guitar in track 2, drums in track 6, strings in track 5, the sound of the wind in track 4) add just the right touch---lightly sprinkled in when needed. As a professional pianist myself, I also appreciate his considerable technique and the emotion with which he infuses his music. Anyone who likes classical music and movies should own this CD. Anyone who has friends who like classical music and movies should purchase this CD for them. They will love you for it. It is my favorite CD. I never tire of listening to it.

Gorgeous arrangements. Very dramatic and melodic........1999-11-16

Don't be scared off by the "clown-like" picture on the cover. This album, by a true piano virtuoso/arranger, blends familiar movie and light classical melodies together into unique arrangements. Every time it's been on while I have guests, someone always asks "What's that beautiful music?"

Van Eps is stellar.......2006-11-30

This is an excellent album. The first twelve tracks are Johnny Smith, and he is a powerful guitar player. That being said, when the first Van Eps track, Cheek to Cheek, comes on, I am in heaven. If you like a clean, electric guitar sound that is extremely rich and full thanks to an added seventh string, the second half of the album will do you well. Van Eps makes lush, intricate music, and I can't get enough of it.

intro to guitar greats to grandson.......2006-11-05

GREAT CD GOT THIS TO LET GRANDSON HEAR SOME GREAT GUITAR MUSIC AS HE IS LEARNING TO PLAY THE GUITAR HIMSELF.

A pleasant surprise.......2006-08-04

As a guitarist, curiosity lead me to this recording. I have always been a fan of Johnny Smith. The surprise came when I discovered what a remarkable guitarist George Van Eps is. His style is so smooth and fluid and his use of the seven string adds a dimension few guitarists attain. The Johnny Smith half of the recording was a bit too neo-classical for my tastes but the George Vam Eps portion made up for it.

Johnny Smith is THE greatest of all time.......2006-07-13

This albumm is another vintage GREAT PERFORMANCE by Johnny Smith who easily is the greatest guitar player of all time. Frankly, I hardly ever listen to the other half of the album but I do listen and thoroughly enjoy the GREAT Johnny Smith. If you love guitar YOU WILL LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!

Two masters display their artistry of solo jazz guitar........1999-03-06

Taken from two separate sessions from legendary jazz guitar greats Johnny Smith and George Van Eps, this CD presents solo performances with unequaled technical mastery and harmonic sophistication. Johnny Smith plays a mixed selection of jazz standards, original tunes and classical pieces. His approach consistantly swings with spirit, precision and articulation. George Van Eps, arguably the father (grandfather?) of modern jazz guitar, reads through such tunes as 'A Foggy Day' & 'I Could Write a Book' before he completely (and amazingly) reconstructs them harmonically and melodically. For this disc to offer either of these two great players would have made it highly recommended, but to feature both, it becomes essential.

An excellent concert. Timeless overtures........2003-12-27

It's a waste of time being harking on about this CD too much, but one of the greatest guitarists ever, Uli Jon Roth shows all the speed and heartless players how the guitar is mean't to be played. Pure bliss.

Michael Schenker Is On This Album !!!.......2003-05-10

How much would you pay to hear Uli Jon & The Mad Axeman duel it out on the UFO classic "Doctor, Doctor"? Whatever your answer is, it's not enough, because much of the music on this disc is priceless. If you have the Scorpion's "Tokyo Tapes" & UFO's "Strangers In The Night" on vinyl then you know where I'm coming from. Come on....you add Jack Bruce, Phil Mogg, Pete Way & the previously mentioned Schenker and what else would you expect.
Uli Jon's guitar switches gears from Hendrix inspired playing on songs like "Little Wing" to Clapton's riffs on "Sunshine Of Your Love" without breaking a sweat. The quality of the recording is really very, very good; all the instruments and vocals are very clear throughout. The only minor beef I have is Uli's playing on some of the UFO tunes; he assumes the role of rhythm guitarist with very little lead playing. After listening to those songs numerous times, however, my personal opinion is he just can't keep up with Michael (and not many can). But holy cr@p, when this album gets to the last few tracks, you better have at least 200 watts of power to do this recording justice.
If your a fan of 70's metal and remember how rock music used to be played, you owe yourself this cd.

Classics are timeless.......2002-12-07

When listening to this fabulous live album, i realize how sad and mediocre the present music panorama is. When classics do their best, there's no possible comparison... No present musicians make you feel like this album, in which there're superb moments, not of guitar heroes being the fastest fingers, but of truly artistic top moments. Guitars mix of Roth and Schenker in Doctor doctor and the final jam are absolutely awesome, along with Cream's, UFO's, and Hendrix's classics. One of the best live albums in the last years...

Customer Reviews:

I don't own this.......2005-11-19

But I wish I had known about it before I bought the many CDs I now own that contain these songs! I've bought many JSP collections of other artists and been very pleased with them. On this set, I just see a great collection for anyone just getting into the really old delta blues, without buying at least six different high priced CDs by these artists separately. If you're wanting to get into the delta blues and wondering where to start....JUMP ON THIS!! .....Then buy the complete works of Robert Johnson.

Great Music, Bad Remastering.......2005-03-03

There's no denying that the music on these discs is fabulous (although Ishman Bracey is hardly of the same caliber as Skip James or Son House). No, the problem with these discs (and JSP discs generally) is that the sound quality is terrible. Obviously any CDs made from old 78s are going to have loud hiss and pops. That's to be expected. What's terrible here is that JSP's solution has, from the sound of it, been to lop off the higher end of the sound, with the result that everything sounds muffled and distant. It's as though they'd put a heavy blanket over your speakers. I prefer Yazoo's method, which has more hiss and other noise, but infinitely more clarity and presence. The difference between JSP's version of Booker T. ("Bukka") White and Yazoo's is like night and day: you'd never know what a subtle vocalist and guitarist he actually was if all you heard were the versions on these discs. It's even worse with the great Skip James, since in his case the originals are in really bad shape: if you're not careful (and JSP is not), you end up with mud instead of genius. In short, the remastering has real consequences for what you can hear of the music. All the nuance is absent on these discs. Get the Yazoo or the Biograph or the Roots-n-Blues ones instead: you'll have more background noise, but you'll also know why people rave over these musicians in the first place.

For the true blues lover.......2004-11-07

For me I first began to be interested in blues after listening to Led Zeppelin and wondering what artists inspired them. However concerning this album, I have a warning you better like the blues or else this will not be your cup of tea. First, you need to understand the sound does not suck, it actually sounds great! Keep in mind. just like it states on the box these are PRE-WAR RECORDINGS, which means there won't be that noise-free perfectly crystal clear audio that so many people (especially young people like myself) are use to. So, if you can get past the sub-par audio quality (by modern day standards), you will treasure this collection of some of the best musicians that have ever graced the earth.

my search is over !!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-02-27

I have owned many different cd copies of each of these artists on various labels, yazoo, document, ect., but none come close in terms of the sound quality ! I know this can be a very subjective issue, bbut believe me i have been listnening to this music four years and i feel as if im hearing the music anew !so dont just sit there shake your moneymaker on down to the record shop and score yourself a copy, and at this price the music wont be the only thing that makes you smile !

The sun is shining in your backdoor today.......2004-02-07

This 5-disc boxset is a must-have for anyone who needs to upgrade (or hear for the first time) even just 2 of the artists included. Look at it like this, buying 2 single discs by any of these guys will put you between $25 and $30. The price for this entire set.

This is the complete pre-war recordings of Skip James, Son House, Bukka White, Tommy Johnson, and Ishman Bracey. In other words, included here is some of the best music America ever produced.

I will first say that in terms of Tommy, Son, Ishman, and Bukka, this is the best sonic quality in which I have heard them. The Documents and Sony/Columbia releases are not as good as this. Skip's stuff was released by Yazoo so if you have that and love it you may think you don't need this for Skip, which is fine though, because the 4 others still sound much better here.

Tommy in particular has never (at least beyond hearing his original sides, decades ago) sounded better, in my opinion. Honestly, I will probably always have a tough time deciphering alot of what he is saying, but I can make out alot more of it here than I ever could in the years I owned the Document disc. His guitar playing and tone sound better, fuller, also. I've appreciated Tommy more in the 4 months I've had this box than I did in the previous however many years I had the Document. I must mention that the one minor mistake of the box is on Tommy's disc. Boogaloosa Woman and Morning Prayer are in the opposite order listed on the cd. Not a big deal at all.

I was quite looking forward to the Bukka disc because previous to buying this box, I only had his Okeh and Vocalion stuff from 1937 and '40. All the earlier stuff was new to me. Having heard it all now, I think the Okeh '40 is his best. His guitar playing is fantastic during all eras, but I like his voice best in '40.

Ishman I was the least familiar with, only having heard some of his stuff at an acquaintances place, but never owning it or getting any repeated listenings of my own. There is some good and not so good stuff here, in my opinion. For me, the defining highlight of alot of Ishman's stuff is the mandolin playing of Charlie McCoy. He is captured louder, and has a much bigger presence with Ishman than he ever had with Tommy Johnson and it makes for a great overall sound.

After buying this in 2003 I checked to see what another site had to say about it, and they said it was great for the blues novice. Hogwash. Whether you never heard of any of these guys before, or have been listening to them since before I was born, this box is a fantastic deal and has great sound (by the standards of what one can reasonably expect when so much of the source material is from Paramounts). The richness and tone of the guitars and voices are there, but without the degree of noise-reduction that flattens the sound. This is an essential box set for any fan of pre-war blues.

Customer Reviews:

Good but a bit misleading.......2004-01-07

First-I liked the album. The good things about it included the variety and breadth of musical styles - from Bob Brozman (poster child for all things National Guitar) to Kayton Roberts who does a nice version of Bells of St. Mary's. My only gripe is that much of the music deviates from what is known as the "lap steel guitar" (a relatively small electrified six to 10 string instrument), offering various slide guitar and resonator guitar songs as well. It would be as if they called a record "all about trombones" and only include one or two songs just with trombones and the rest with other instruments. I was not disappointed with the sound, but thought that they could have either called it something else or included more actual lap steel guitars on the record.
