It doesn't really roll as quintessential surf music, unless Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone are hanging 10 on set with the crew of Endless Summer while Quentin Tarantino and John Travolta DJ the tunes in the craft service tent. This is Duane Eddy or The Safaris slinging Colt .45s. And I don't mean the malt liquor.

Yes more of the 'twangy guitar' genre

Just checked and "Yes" still have Rhythm and Greens" in the mono (stereo cost more) Shadows 45 e p.
Hmm, that does make me really old.

I was in Catholic Elementary school and Terry Lee, a DJ on McKeesport, Pa's WMCK played this.  Later my mother convinced him to come and give a talk for our CCD class. I met him and he promised he'd send me this 45rpm.  Never got it.

The Jorgen Ingmann version was the hit—and a HUGE one—in the Bay Area in 1961, a year after the Shadows' version stormed Britain.

Geez, I'm old.

Takes me back to the cheesy 50's.  Ugly poodle skirts, saddle oxfords, ducktail hair (greasy), all those happily left behind.  On to Buddy Holly, mullets, poorboy tops, Bass Weejuns (now there's a radical improvement in footwear. Life got better.

Wow !
This takes me back!

The lead guitarist Hank Marvin was Britain's guitar hero in the 1950's and early 60's - played a Burns guitar as I recall, and wore horn-rimmed spectacles like Buddy Holly. 
The Shadows were the backing band for Cliff Richard, and went on to issue a string of instrumentals like Apache.

Good for you Bill - as has been said so many times by others, "...where else would we be hearing this alongside Radiohead and Billy Idol?"

Only on RP!

+ 1 million.
This is the stuff of my early musical life, got me into guitar music, unfortunately I was unable to fully learn to play one.

It still sounds so fresh, and like Buddy Holly and others of this early era, I think it is down to the very simple studios they used.

Certainly a case of less is much much more. 

I still love instrumentals to this day, and am extra happy when RUSH include one or two on their albums.

Just need to hear "Sleepwalk" by Santo and Johnny, "Pipeline" by the Ventures and "Theme From Endless Summer" to complete the beach surf mood... Maybe add "Green Onions" by Booker "T" and M.G.s... Classics match up wll with current...and remain pure... Love RP for this.

Another in a long line of examples of why Radio Paradise is the best station in the world.
Never heard this before, but love it.
