Instrumental Rock Review: Various Artists Instro Mania! 1960-1966

Various Artists "Instro Mania!" The 1960-1966 CD compilation represents the historical period, capturing the essence of where the artists and their music originated.

There are 20 Rare instrumentals of German, Dutch, and French origin.

 

My hat is off to Gerd Dietrich, the visionary founder of the Gee-Dee label, who has made this treasure trove of music available to the world. His outstanding remastering and packaging have truly brought these tunes to life.

 

The compilation offers diverse music, from the fascinating stories of the artists in the liner notes to the vibrant saxophone-enhanced cuts. The saxophone adds a unique flavor to the surf sound, making it a more immersive experience.

 

With 20 cuts, there's a lot to explore and enjoy in this substantial collection of vintage surf music.

 

Gee Dee gives you a big chunk of surf to digest! Have a bite.
