Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA The Del-Vamps - Surf Stompin' Nightmare
 | This is just about the worst pressing I have ever heard! Not only is it a lo-fi recording, it's pressed in a barn on used tires or something. Awful surface noise. The band sounds to be Phantom Surfers inspired, even wearing Phantom Surfers style masks. Lest you be either a completist or a hard core the-worse-it-sounds-the-better collector, I'd say pass on this one. |

Track by Track Review
Mister Marauder On The Moon Surf (Instrumental)
This is a cool track, very mean sounding, with "here we go" snottily spoken as an intro. There's little or no melody. It seems to be more about a sound than a song.
Toes Over The Nose Surf (Instrumental)
This track has a big thundering sound lurking almost unlistenably under the horrid pressing.
Vampire Beach Surf (Instrumental)
This is little more than a progression.
