Description
ORIGINAL 1964 ALBUM WITH 9 BONUS TRACKS
INCLUDES THE HIT SINGLE ?SURFIN? BIRD?
Following the success of the 2009 campaign to get Rage Against The Machine to the Christmas number 1 slot in the UK (defeating the X Factor winner), a plethora of similar campaigns were launched in the lead up to Christmas 2010. Most of these floundered and either appeared low on the chart or failed to chart at all. The notable exception to this was ?Surfin? Bird? by The Thrashmen which crashed in at #3, an undeniable success for a campaign which lacked the high-profile backing of other songs.
The campaign was built on a massively successful online movement which arose from the use of the song in an episode of the popular cartoon ?Family Guy? and the song has also recorded by numerous artists including the Ramones, The Cramps and the thrash metal band Sodom as well as being used in movies and television shows including Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.
This re-issue of the band?s only full length album proves however that the band were much more than a novelty act that can be reduced to one single, highlighting the fact that they were actually a highly accomplished rock?n?roll group. This release features the whole of the original 1964 album plus 9 bonus tracks which include singles and B-sides.
