Dale Dick - Rockin’ Rollin Vol.2 (7 single/EP)
€13,00Quick Viewinfo:
In 1960, Dick Dale released his last single before his surfer days with the small company Cupid Records, from Sherman Oaks, California. On it, he was backed by Tommy Oliver’s band, and its B-side contains THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL, a marvellous piece of orchestrated rock’n’roll, with a crooner touch, that we rescue to open this EP, and which marked the end of his first musical stage.
The B-side of this EP features two previous songs from 1960, both released on his second single for his father’s label, Del-Tone Records. STOP TEASING is a hot rhythm & blues, New Orleans style, a far cry from what Dick had recorded on his early records, topped off with a great guitar solo. It was originally paired with WHITOUT YOUR LOVE, a slow blues, in the same vein as Elvis Presley’s Don’t Ask Me Why, which opens up even more the musical spectrum that Dick was handling before he made his leap to fame.
These three tracks perfectly complement the three ones that make up the first EP in this series, and are a perfect summary of Dick’s rock’n’roll years, before the release of his next single, Let’s Go Trippin’ / Del-Tone Rock, his first one with The Del-Tones and his consecration as the king of surf music.

Dale Dick - Rockin’ Rollin Vol.1 (7 single/EP)
€13,00Quick Viewinfo:
Dick Dale’s first recording came two years before he formed the Del-Tones and was crowned King of The Surf Guitar. That record was “Ooh Whee Marie,” released on his father’s fledging Del-Tone label in the summer of 1958. Dale was 21 years old at the time and encouraged by his father to learn guitar and trumpet.His musical hero was Hank Williams and other country stars he heard on the radio, including Buddy Holly, whose influence is apparent on “Marie.” He soon developed an impression of Elvis that he took to various talent shows around the Los Angeles area. He won enough of these shows to bring him to the Town Hall Party stage, a three-hour live Saturday night viewing staple
broadcast from Compton. Dale played trumpet in the backing band that accompanied various guest stars.
There was also plenty of rockabilly music from the younger artists on that show, which influenced Dale’s third outing on record, “Jessie Pearl” and “St. Louis Blues,” recorded earlier, but released in the summer of 1960. “Jessie Pearl” was Dale’s first self-penned song. “St. Louis Blues,” an old W.C. Handy jazz number, was a song Dale had picked up learning how to play trumpet. Around July, 1960, Dick Dale formed the Del-Tones and began playing to capacity crowds at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Newport Beach. His next
release was “Let’s Go Trippin’.” He had single-handedly launched the surf music genre.
