(.....SURFING-EAST COAST/I SHOULD HAVE STAYED......) by ( THE DOLPHINS )...... ....( ONE OF THE DOLPHINS TALKS ABOUT HIS GROUP:The Dolphins recorded and released two singles, four songs altogether. The first record, “Surfin’ East Coast” (B-side, “I Should Have Stayed”), we did in the basement of our producer’s house on Long Island. The second disk, “Endless” (B-side, “There Was A Time”), was taped in a small commercial studio out there somewhere. Our producer, Cy Levitan, was a middle-aged, mustachioed lawyer who wanted to break into the music business. I think we originally met him through a neighbor of ours in Larchmont. Cy wrote “Surfin’ East Coast” (I wrote all the other songs The Dolphins recorded), and he had enough mikes, baffles and tape decks to make decent 4-track recordings. About the only memory I have of those sessions is an image of us in a veneer-paneled basement doing the umpteenth take of “Surfin’ East Coast,” Cy standing on the stairs chanting OK, guys, one more time. The only thing Brian says he recalls is that he and Roy almost got killed on his 650cc Triumph Bonneville motorcycle heading home after one of the sessions. The Dolphins released two records on Cy Levitan’s label, Yorkshire Records: A-side: “Surfin’ East Coast” (Cy Levitan) B-side: “I Should Have Stayed” (Tor Pinney) A-side: “Endless” (Tor Pinney) B-side: “There Was A Time” (Tor Pinney) I don’t think “Endless” ever made it onto the radio. “Surfin’ East Coast” did, but the first place that record got played in public was at the Larchmont Diner. The Diner was a hangout for us high school kids. It marked one end of “the strip,” a 3-mile length of the Boston Post Road, US Route 1. (At the other end was a new, 13¢ hamburger place called McDonalds, near the Mamaroneck Junior High School.) Somehow “Surfin’ East Coast” got installed in the Larchmont Diner’s jukebox. After that it seems like every time one of us would go in for a cheeseburger and a cherry coke, some kid would drop a dime and play our record. Then we’d have to pretend like it was no big deal while inside we’d be bursting with pride. My ego got a double-boost if someone played the B-side, since I had written the song. We were all still in high school and only broke out of Westchester County on a few occasions. When “Surfin’ East Coast” made the top 10 on the charts in Providence, Rhode Island in the summer of 1965, we drove up there and opened for the one and only live performance of Napoleon the 14th ("They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha”) at the brand new Braintree (Massachusetts) Coliseum. On another occasion we played at Palisades Amusement Park in New Jersey, where we lip-synced “Surfin' East Coast” on an outdoor stage ahead of Reparata and the Delrons. vg+++ TO M- RARE GARAGE SINGLE!! )........
