Description
My Son The Surf Nut (Capitol T-1939 Mono) VG with VG+ cover some ringwear on B/C 1-inch tear on FC right edge small piece of tape and staple hole on top right corner. 1963 comedy album written and produced by Jack Marshall with cool Rick Griffin cover.
It's kind of difficult knowing quite how to classify this offering. After all, it is really no more than an off-beat surfing comedy album - but it offers so much more than the standard novelty fare offered up by the likes of the Silly Surfers or Mr Gasser's Surfink crew ... After all, writer and producer Jack Marshall was a highly respected jazz guitarist, composer and producer in his own field - but what on earth tempted him out of the smokey L.A. jazz clubs and over to sand-laden beachside haunts must be a bizarre story in its' own right (but one we can sadly not account for here ...).
Side One of this release features six 'comedy skits', taking the viewpoint of interviews with everyday members of the so-called 'surf-crowd'. All are fairly amusing little sketches, with novelty voices thrown in for effect, whilst the waves lap against the shoreline - with perhaps the simple views of the Old Oceanographer coming in the strongest. Side Two comprises of a typical early-60's 'Battle Of The Bands' scenario - with six novelty numbers as performed by six imaginery surf-bands - with the surf-folk Dingston Trio's "I Left My Love At Rincon" being the funniest by far ...
"I left my love at Rincon, hot-doggin' with a punch
Her figure really stoked me, but her face was out to lunch ..."
"... whilst Daddie Ho's "Surfing Is My Life" is the closest musically to the gen-u-ine thing.
All in all, this is a wonderful example of original surf culture - and a highly prized item in any surf-fiend's collection - even if perhaps some of the humour has been washed away by the tides of time ..."

"Funny album, Capitol once again exploiting the surf craze the Beach Boys started. The title references Allan Sherman's MY SON THE NUT, dating it nicely. Silly nonsense, but at least some folks at the label had a sense of humor."
