This Is  Skateboard  Music

A Collection Of Real 1970s Skateboarding Tunes

NEW CD IN DIGIPACK

The compilation This is Skateboard Music presents 14 tracks, written in the heydays of asphalt surfing in the late 70s and all about only one thing:

Skateboarding!

At this time people worked feverishly on the sound that should accompany the new, but rapidly growing phenomenon. Everyone wanted to write the one summer-hit and to create the soundtrack of this movement. Yet, actually nobody really knew what it should sound like exactly...!

The perfectly harmonic part-singing of bands like the English Carvells reminds of the surf music of the 60s and especially the Beach Boys. Zack Ferguson, who rocked Italian discos with his Aa Aa Uu Aa Ee in 1979, presents with Skateboard Dancin’ a piece of eccentric disco-pop and Zafra’s Skateboard Shuffle is solid Funk. Mr. 'The Singin’ Surfer' Corky Carroll, who is best known for Tan punks on board, a modern surf music classic, delivers with Skateboard Bill a piece of classic American song-writing.

Powerpop bands like The Rivals and Wood Lane’s Skateboard Saturday show that skateboarding was also very much en vogue in England. And even Marc Bolan was infected with the skateboard virus as his rare T.Rex demo-track Skateboard shows.

It’s exactly this stylistic variety that makes this music so charming, because one can already sense the marketing efforts, but it still is - at least of today’s perspective – wonderfully naive.

So if you want to immerse the world of Californian pools, nose wheelies, 360s, and teenager dreams on four wheels, this is your sound!

The CD is available  as a luxurious digipak.

The vinyl also available comes as a limited edition in gatefold sleeve.

Both versions  with liner notes
