"With one thunderous tidal wave of amped-up, reverb-drowned electric guitar arpeggios, Dick Dale changed the face of pop music forever and created two magnificent rock 'n' roll sub-genres: surf music and hot rod music. Long may they both run! Following in the successful footsteps of Dale's landmark 1962 debut LP, Surfers' Choice, the Los Angeles-based fretboard hero signed to Capitol Records and from 1963 to 1964 cut loose with no fewer than four classic surf/hot rod spectaculars: King of the Surf Guitar, Checkered Flag, Mr. Elminator and Summer Surf. And now, Dick Dale and Sundazed Music have joined forces to reissue all four of Dale's exceedingly rare Capitol discs (with bonus tracks on each!) as the first-ever official compact disc reissues of these four staccato guitar-driven marvels. The basic premise was the same for all four Capitol LPs -- turn Dick Dale loose on a set of wailing instrumentals (with the occasional Dick Dale vocal) and watch the burgeoning teenage market for this delicious stuff line up around the block to lap it up. For the hot rod albums, add the powerhouse sound of rubber-squealing, nitro-burning muscle cars to the mix. The ensuing party should last all weekend!"

Title:	Checkered Flag
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	SC 6252CD

"In late 1963, California's King of the Surf Guitar left the shore for the strip and created one of the classic albums of the hot-rod music genre. Dick Dale's Checkered Flag is heavy with white-hot Dale instrumentals ('Night Rider,' 'Ho-Dad Machine') and vocal car tunes from the pens of pop's songwriters (Gary Usher, Gary Paxton, Carol Connors). Helping Dale stir up the nitro fuel are L.A. session stars Plas Johnson, Steve Douglas, Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer. Checkered Flag is tough stuff, an unyielding trophy-run down the asphalt aisle. Make way!"

"It's more heart-stopping, rubber-burning dragstrip mayhem from the guitar of Dick Dale on his take-no-prisoners 1964 album, Mr. Eliminator. Whether it's the fuel-injected, AA-gas thrills of the LP's title track, the south of the border shake and shimmy of 'Taco Wagon' or the heroic guitar avalanche of 'The Victor,' Dick Dale and his Del-tones know what every Friday-afternoon kegger needs just as much as an unlimited supply of suds: the breathtaking excitement where the drag slicks meet the road, compliments of the slashing, reverbed-guitar genius of the king of hot rod, Dick Dale."

"Who could ask for a bigger slice of instant summer than this scorching session from surf music maestro Dick Dale?! Summer Surf, Dale's superb 1964 collection, is just the ticket for chasing those wintertime blues, as the man who single-handedly invented the genre cuts loose with what he does best. Whether it's the high-stakes excitement of 'Glory Wave,' the wacky hand-jive of 'Mama's Gone Surfin'' or the raging glory of 'Tidal Wave,' the sand, the sun and the waves will always be with you if the sound of Dick Dale is close at hand!"
