"Wipe Out" was written by all members of the band, whilst "Surfer Joe" was penned by drummer Ron Wilson. The album features cover versions of rock standards, minus the two originals, "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe". The Surfaris were signed to Decca Records, and their first album on that label was called Play (Decca DL 4470).ĭot released a single from this album in July 1965: " You Can't Sit Down", backed with "Surfer Joe", catalog number Dot 16757. Those other instrumental groups were never named. It turned out that only two tracks, "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe" were actually played by The Surfaris, therefore repressings were titled Wipe Out and Surfer Joe and Other Popular Selections by Other Instrumental Groups. It contains their best known song " Wipe Out". The full-length album Wipe Out is almost as good. Wipe Out is a Dot Records album credited to The Surfaris, released in 1963. Comparable with such classics of the period such as Dick Dale 's 'Let's Go Trippin',' the Champs ' ' Tequila,' and Bill Doggett 's 'Honkey Tonk,' the track leads you right into the period and, as an added plus, defies you not to dance.
