The first wave of the surf music explosion spawned countless short-lived bands and one-shot studio projects. Many of those projects were quickly forgotten, but a handful have continued to inspire hushed reverence among surf aficionados. The latter category includes the Catalinas’ lone album, originally released in 1964 and out of print for more than four decades.

An all-star studio supergroup featuring legendary producer Terry Melcher, future Beach Boy Bruce Johnston and fabled Wrecking Crew members Hal Blaine, Jerry Cole, Steve Douglas, Leon Russell, Billy Strange and Tommy Tedesco, the Catalinas lived up to their impressive pedigree. In addition to rarely-heard tunes penned by Bobby Darin and a pre-Byrds Roger McGuinn, the album features potent versions of such surf and hot rod classics as “Surfin’ U.S.A.,” “Wipe Out,” “Banzai Washout,” “I Get Around” and “Summer Means Fun.”

Long a rare collector’s item, Fun Fun Fun is now back in its original vinyl format, remastered from the original analogue tapes and pressed on high-definition vinyl, with complete original cover art.
