If you're not familiar with this artist/Title, here's some additional information: "Jack Nitzsche had one brush with greatness early in his career, apart from his job as Phil Spector's arranger — "The Lonely Surfer," a classic of the surf music genre. This album attempted to extend his solo career beyond that of a one-hit wonder, with mixed success. The best cuts are songs that are in the same surfer mold: "Puerto Vallarta," "Baja," and "Beyond the Surf." Nitzsche had a gift for melodramatic, ascending arrangements that rose to dramatic crescendos, underpinned by rumbling basslines and clanging percussion. Less successful are a super-slow take on "Da Doo Ron Ron" and remakes of easy listening and soundtrack hits such as "Ebb Tide" and "More," which are given a precious sheen of strings. The one exception is a rather rocking version of Elmer Bernstein's "Magnificent Seven," which sounds like it was made for dancing. This is a pleasant, if not exceptional, set of music for fans of surf instrumentals".
The Vinyl is Near Mint (9-9.5 of 10) in condition. With Original Reprise Paper Inner Sleeve. he shrinkwrap is intact and in excellent condition. The cover is very nice. The only issue to report: a very small drill hole near the upper left corner. A simply stunning copy of this nearly impossible to find "Surf Grail"!!
