Description:

Unknown Contributor Roles: Phil Stewart; Rich Rotkin; Arnie Markus; Bruce Johnston .
With the recording of "Three Window Coupe" and its subsequent album and follow-ups, producers Terry Melcher and Bruce Johnston started singing on the Rip Chords sessions as well. This move effectively forced original members Phil Stewart and Ernie Bringas into touring-group-only status. On this album, only Stewart appears anywhere, and even then, it`s only on two tracks, "Bonneville Bonnie" and "Old Car Made in `52." But as another Bruce and Terry production, this is top-notch stuff, with all the L.A. session heavyweights and the best hot rod-surf production this side of Brian Wilson and Jan & Dean. No matter who is actually singing this stuff, this is top-notch California surf/hot rod material and a welcome addition to anyone`s rock & roll collection. ~ Cub Koda
