This shocker appeared in 1964, at the very tail end of Australia’s surf music craze. As Murray Walding writes in Surf-O-Rama: “Surfer Doll” was horrifyingly twee and should have sunk without a trace, but in the early 1980s [this] old clip of Helpmann surfaced…and created enough interest for Australia’s Raven Records to re-release it in 1982. If you appreciate the schlock side of surf collecting, this pressing will fascinate you.
