Description

Your personal Rock’n’Roll soundtrack for the next Beach Party!
30 Tunes for Dancing in the Sand!
1 CD with 20‐page booklet, 30 tracks. Total playing time approx. 70 min.

Summertime’s here, and it’s been so long since we’ve been to the beach to soak up the sun’s healing rays and engage in a day of red‐hot fun! Bear Family Records® has a perfect new soundtrack to accompany your trip to the oceanfront: 30 tracks that are all about frolicking in the sand and working on your tan while relaxing on your favorite blanket. Familiar names are scattered throughout the compilation; after all, no one knew how to throw a beach party better than Frankie Avalon, and his handsome pals Bobby Darin, Bobby Vee, and Freddie Cannon are here, too.

But there are also killer obscurities by Buddy Skipper and The Jetty Jumpers, Wayne Hollers, Al Barkle, and Ray Doggett, while R&B sax wailers Big Al Sears and Freddie Mitchell blow up a honking sandstorm. After the sun goes down and a cool breeze begins to waft in off the water, The Danleers’ dreamy 1958 doo‐wop smash One Summer Night is a perfect choice for slow dancing under the stars. Even guitar mauler Link Wray gets into the act with a surprisingly melodic Summer Dream. Pack the cooler, bring plenty of sunscreen, and pop ‘Destination Beach’ into your portable CD player at the first opportunity. Even on the hottest summer afternoon, it’s the coolest!
