V/A - Destination Beach: 30 Tunes For Dancing In The Sand CD (Bear Family)

This 30 song compilation includes songs by Frankie Avalon, Bobby Darin, Bobby Vee and Freddie Cannon, among others, which are perfect on a warm sunny day while you enjoy the beach atmosphere and work on your tan. Includes a nicely designed booklet with 20 pages full of biographical information to accompany you to the beach round out this feel-good package! There are also killer obscurities by Buddy Skipper and The Jetty Jumpers, Wayne Hollers, Al Barkle, and Ray Doggett, while R&B sax wailers Big Al Sears and Freddie Mitchell blow up a honking sandstorm. After the sun goes down and a cool breeze begins to waft in off the water, The Danleers’ dreamy 1958 doo-wop smash One Summer Night is a perfect choice for slow dancing under the stars. Even guitar mauler Link Wray gets into the act with a surprisingly melodic Summer Dream. Pack the cooler, bring plenty of sunscreen, and pop ‘Destination Beach’ into your portable CD player at the first opportunity. Even on the hottest summer afternoon, it’s the coolest!
