Description

(Hear) Del Ray & Roamers Proto-Surf 45 (La Macarena b/w Lonely Highway)

Del Ray & the Roamers – “La Macarena” b/w “Lonely Highway” (Capella 101). Classic early surf instrumental 45 from the summer of 1960. This was later issued as by the Jayhawks on Argyle, but this Capella issue is the original. In Stephen McParland's book, "Surf Music U.S.A.", he quotes John Blair's sleeve notes from "Cowabunga! The Surf Box":"The melody of 'The Lonely Surfer' is very similar to that of 'The Lonely Highway' by Del Ray And The Roamers. Marty Cooper co-writer, along with Jack Nitzsche, of "The Lonely Surfer", was the owner of Capella Records and he's the producer and has confirmed that Jay Martin, the listed writer, is in fact him using an alias. Take a listen to a little of each side. Record is in M- condition. Postage will be paid by purchaser.
