THE RUMBLERS – WARHEAD / I DON’T NEED YOU NO MORE – DOWNEY BLACK VINYL

Just in case anyone thinks all surf music is instrumental here come the Rumblers.

We start with a track from 1963 that laid unissued until 2010.   It really hits surf sweet spot, pounding drums, rasping sax, menacing echo drenched guitars.  This is real surf music.  If you have ever half floated, half swum in a warm sea, your chin on your board as you scan the waves coming in waiting to leap up and catch a wave this sound will take you back to that time and place.

I Don’t Need You No More is totally surf but has the addition of one of the all time great rasping rock n roll vocals riding the crest of the musical waves.  This was the flip side of the super classic Boss and was originally issued on Downey before being picked up by the national label Dot.  It was a big enough hit to be issued in various other countries including the good old UK.  This is what Rock n Roll in 1962 is all about.

This page is for the black vinyl issue of this 45. There is a separate listing for the red vinyl.
