Not to burst anyone's balloon, but the "Hard Day's Night" record is worthless with all the comments written on it. However, the value to Nicole having that album with all the comments by her dad or uncle is priceless, to her. 👍
The only thing I asked my dad to leave me in his will was his record collection. We didn’t see eye to eye on much, but we both loved music. He would have dug you guys.
Kinda funny, my parents had the Tijuana Brass record when I was a kid. I also remember loving the album cover. I have not seen it in about 30 years, but it’s one of those ones I never forgot. PS you girls are great! I love your music.
The album was re-released a few years ago, which I got on CD. All the songs were enhanced (re-mastered?), plus a few other songs were added. I can't remember if these songs were unreleased originally or not. You might want to check it out since it's been awhile. Oh, and I, too, discovered Tijuana Brass in my dad's record collection.
I didn’t think I would be as giddy as I got when I saw Herb Alpert. I have that same album and several others as well that I inherited. Sometimes I feel like no one else knows about him so it’s great to see a fan.
I like the "Girls with Guitars" and "Girls in the Garage" comps. Those ladies paved the way for females to play rock n roll and should be recognized for their contributions. I love 60's music. Especially the garage stuff.
Are you Experienced Jimi Hendrix, Dark side of the Moon Pink Floyd, Physical Graffiti Led Zeppelin are some of my favorites. My mom had that Herb Albert album when I was about 8 and my older sister turned me on to Zeppelin, Hendrix, Floyd, the Beatles and the Doors. She had all the Beatles on vinyl and Zeppelin 2 , Hendrix Are you Experienced. When I heard Jimmy Page on Zeppelin 2 , I was blown away and went and bought Zeppelin 4 . That and Hendrix got me started playing guitar! Love your sound, you sound awesome. Hope to see you live someday!🎸🎸😁👍🎼🎶🎵
Love your music thanks for playing it, hope one day you’ll come to the Isle of Wight England 🏴 we have a festival every year 90,000 plus you’d bring the house down ........I’ll look out for ya .......stay safe
Rich Fifield, of the Astronauts, used to fill in in my band in the 80s. He lives in a suburb of north Denver now. When I would ask him to front a tune, he would always call "If you see Kay." He always said that they considered themselves to be R&B, and did the Surf thing at the request of an A&R man from a record company who thought they needed an answer to The Beach Boys. Rich gigged in many bands around Denver after the Astronauts, but has been pretty quiet the last 10 years or so. Last I knew, he was gigging Jazz guitar and vocal duets at fraternal organizations with his girlfriend.
I have both of your 45's and love them both!!! I met you girls when you played in socal and you all signed my record! One of my prized possessions. Thanks and another great video.👍👍
Thanks for the great surf grooves and your vinyl picks. Some other great vinyl picks should include Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66' catalog, , especially Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66', and all Astrud Gilberto/Jobim tracks.
Given your connection to the GTA, you're probably familiar with this one: "Savvy Showstoppers" by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. That's a fun mix of surfy, spy jazzy and Spaghetti Western type sounds, with a big dash of the band's wry humour thrown in. That album also contains the anthemic track, "Having an Average Weekend," which became the theme song for "The Kids in the Hall" tv show. On another note, I was a school kid in the 1960's who loved Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. My parents used to let me stay up to watch their TV specials, which always seemed to be sponsored by Singer sewing machines.
Nicole's albums are very much parallel to my influences and I grew up with access to my dad's vinyl, 60s and 70s mostly. Thank you ladies for what you do!! You need to find your way to California!
My mother was absolutely obsessed with the Tijuana Brass!! Cool cool pick I'm a huge Mark Knopfler fan and also Brian Setzer they're almost as good as you are... Nowhere near as cute. Thanks for some more happiness you guys are the best❤
During the '80's I used to ride my bicycle to garage sales to find records. That's where I found the Music Machine. Also love the 13th.Floor Elevators.
The Elevators were from my hometime(Austin, Tex) and I was fortunate to see them twice in concerts around Texas. Great Band, and you may not know that they were very popular in San Francisco during the Haight Ashbury psychedelic scene. They played several times at the Filmore.
@@jmn93065 Wish I could have seen them ...but being born in '69 I was late to the party. I'm from Texas too, Lake Jackson....where one of our biggest claims to fame is Buc'ee's!
@@rvtek7303 Not sure what a Buc'cee's is. Is that a band? Roki Erickson went to Travis High School across town from me. The Elevators played a gig in Austin and one in New Brausfels, and that is where I saw them, probably around 1966. The Elevators were one of the first bands into the psychedelic music that was big back then.
2:07 In 1962, Herb Alpert founded a record label with fellow trumpeter Jerry Moss. Over the next 25 years, A&M records, would grow into the largest independent record company in the world. ... In 1989, Herb and Jerry sold A&M records to PolyGram Records for $500 million in cash.
So glad I found your band. Love your music. I think you might like the Mermen. The group’s sound was originally rooted in instrumental surf and psychedelic music of the 1960s from SAn Francisco. They are worth checking out. Cheers, Matt
Whipped Cream was also my introduction to Herb Alpert records which my dad had but I would also hear his music on TV shows. I also love the "Going Places" album which I got when I started buying my own records. You both have great taste. Love your channel.
Shermy, I love the Music Machine. I remember their album came out the year the Batman TV show started. There was a club near where I live called Wayne Manor that had a Batman theme. The Music Machine played there all Halloween week. I didn't go since I was only 7. That year was a magical time in my life. The Batman show. Color TV was a new thing. Nice memories.
Wow! Shermy! Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass. That record is significant to me because when I was a teenager in 1975 my parents were divorced and my mother, who worked as a newspaper reporter, did not have time to follow music (although she had country music playing on her AM radio in her bedroom). I myself followed pop, rock, MOR (middle of road), romance, easy listening, hard rock, Motown, country, and jazz -- about anything -- I LOVE good music. So one day my mother came home with her first album -- Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass. I was stunned that she bought it. Then I listened to it and it had "The Lonely Bull" on it. That was popular on the radio at the time, so I realized that she had heard it and decided to buy the album. As far as I know, she did not listen to it and never bought another record. ****************************** What are my favorite albums? I have about 300 and they are ALL my favorites. (I am a tightwad and If I did not love them, I would not have spent my hard-earned money on them.) My first album was Purple Passages by Deep Purple. It was a present from my cousin for Christmas. It is DEEP rock and SO smooth, you can get buried in it for hours. I think you girls would enjoy Chicago at Carnegie Hall, a 4 album set of Chicago recorded live. I recommend listening to most music in the dark. So after dinner about 7:30, turn off the lights, start the record, lie down and listen to the whole set. You will be transported to Carnegie Hall.
The Music Machine's "Talk Talk" was the big hit from that LP, but "The People In Me" was the next 45 issued from it and is a hidden gem. I believe the Music Machine was more of a garage band than a psych band.
I just picked up The Music Machine today amazing album wow what a great album thank you so much for showing me this album hopefully I can find there second and last album 🙂
extremely pleasant video. sorely needed wholesomeness in the current debacle. i have the music machine & herb alpert but unaware of the astronauts as yet! 🎸 🇨🇦 👍
RCA signed Boulder, Colorado's Astronauts to compete with the Beach Boys on Capitol records. Their1963 debut mixes surf instrumentals with Beach-Boys-sounding vocal tracks and is probably their best release. They followed with a hot rod-themed LP called "Competition Coupe", further driving home the Beach Boys comparisons, then gradually tended towards LP's filled mostly with fairly mediocre sounding vocal covers of rock standards. Their RCA studio sound with a heavily-reverbed three guitar attack is pretty stellar on their biggest hit, "Baja", which the Surfragettes cover live and which you can hear here: . th-cam.com/video/IwFH3HcBn7w/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for increasing my music collection. I love hearing music and bands I have not heard before. Really want to dig out my old LPs and get a record player.
What I love about this video is that you both have stories and a history with every single record that you own. Can't say that about a stream/download. Viva la vinyl!!
Thanks for discussing, ladies. "A Hard Day's Night" is an excellent choice. I love The Beatles, too. I'll look for The Music Machine. Here are some of my favorite albums, in no particular order: "Sketches of Spain" and "Kind of Blue," Miles Davis; "Sweetheart of the Rodeo," The Byrds; "The Beatles" (a.k.a., the "White Album")," The Beatles; "Rubber Soul," The Beatles"; "With The Beatles," The Beatles; "Abbey Road," The Beatles; "Revolver," The Beatles; "Endless Summer," the Beach Boys; "Mothership Connection," Parliament; "Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits," Creedence Clearwater Revival; "Wolf Tracks: Best of Los Lobos"; "Sticky Fingers," The Rolling Stones; "The Joshua Tree," U2; "More Songs About Buildings and Food," Talking Heads; "Nevermind," Nirvana; "Beauty and the Beat," the Go-Go's; "Fit to Be Tied: Great Hits by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts," Joan Jett and The Blackhearts; "Pleased to Meet Me," The Replacements; "Sign of the Times," Prince. I was tempted to list "In Solitude" by Sacred & Secular, but I'm in that musical collective and I want to list outside artists only. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music #Music4URSpirit
My dad had a copy of Whipped Cream and Other Delights that I used to like to listen to as a little boy. I was fascinated by the album cover too, although being about seven years old, I wasn't quite sure why ;) I think the album that got me thinking about guitar well before I ever started to play was 'Guitar USA' by Tony Mottola. Check out his Go Go dancer take on 'Satisfaction'. The back of the album cover has naughty pictures of Tony's beautiful Gibsons too. I love what you ladies are doing; hopefully I'll get a chance to see you live when the plague has run it's course.
Don’t know if you ladies ever heard of The Danny Morris Band. I think they were originally from the Delaware area, and now they play down in Florida. Great mix of surf guitar and blues. I got to meet him once, very nice guy, asked him to play Walk Don’t Run and he did!
Oh Yeah, bought the Music Machine record back in high school in the 60s, still listening to a CD copy, and LOVE that you cover the Electric Prunes, that’s a high school fav too. Love all your videos, Thank You.
Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon -- the song Money. Listen to it LOUD in the dark -- you can hear all of the coins jangling. You girls should record Tellstar, These Boot Are Made for Walking, and some Jan and Dean.
Ms. Shermy, aside from the subject matter, your polka dots made me smile on this grim morning, and for that i say bless you and thank you. :) And waving to both of you from Boulder, CO.
I love the first album, that was given to me, of The Ventures. It was "The Guitar Genius of The Ventures". I still think that album had some of the most amazing music. Music that I still enjoy hearing.
Loved the Astronauts too. I have a number of cd's of their old albums. Beatles fan too. All the albums plus all the 45's on various labels. Now I need to fill my Surfrajettes collection.
I'm pretty sure my Dad had that Herb Alpert album along with many others. I may be a rock n' roll lover, (along with surf) but I grew up with the Tijuana Brass and thanks to my Dad, have an appreciation for them and older big band.
WOW! 11 minutes later and 387 views already!! I'm glad that you GIRLS are keeping the dream alive! It's great to see surf music is still alive and now making a slow resurgence among the younger crowd. Thank you for sharing your wonderful musical gifts with the rest of the world.
When I was a kid we referred to Led Zep 4 as the “Ruins” album. I still don’t know why. In the 60s, my aunt was Herb Alpert’s and Jerry Moss’s exec secretary at A&M and she had an assistant give me a tour of the studios when I was like 9 or 10 yo.
55 years old, and I'm getting back into vinyl. Picked up Billy Joel's Piano Man and Streetlife Serenade a few days ago at a local record store which opened in November. First needle drop for me in 35+ years
Wow, cool to know, because a few months ago I noticed that Lani Hall sang the theme song for Sean Connery's last movie as James Bond, "Never Say Never Again" (in 1983).
It's terrific that you guys draw from diverse sources for your "likes". The Herb Alpert disc is ubiquitous, and it's great to see someone give it a shout out for how great the music on it is. Good insight here.
Nice selections; it's always fun to hear about unheralded, quality works that fly under the radar. Back in the '80s, there was a Finnish band named "Laika and the Cosmonauts" doing their bit to give surf influences, Finnish traditional and '60s pop music a shot in the arm. Interesting and unusual. There are videos watchable on TH-cam that can be auditioned. You may find them a kick. There is an outstanding one containing the songs Kiiriminna (trad folk) and the standard Perfidia. Not to mention there are a Strat, Jaguar and Danelectro bass used... and a Farfisa! Also, check out the matching space-themed shirts the members are wearing! Keep doin' that thing you do; we love it!
You girls are great, your look, your style and tastes. and also, I totally agree with David Shawn's comment below, no tatoos , please don't do it, your look right now is GREAT!
that Zepplin album was the first album I ever bought, I had so many 45's when I was a kid and like you the Beatles, I enjoy watching your band here on youtube, and being fellow Canadians
It appears that Nicole & I have the exact same taste...and I'm 66 !! I also have that Astronauts album, as my older brother bought it originally in 1963, and I inherited it when he moved out of the house. My 200+ collection also includes THREE copies of Zeppelin 4 along with 1, 2, 3 and 5...and all of the Beatles albums. (I also keep the movie "A Hard Days Night" on my television's DVR.) ALso have several Tom Petty's vinyls. BOTTOM LINE: You have stellar taste in Classic Rock, Nicole! I'm very proud of BOTH of you for embracing the roots of R&R. ❤from Phoenix
Hi, I loved that you picked the Music Machine! I bought this as a sixteen year old when it finally got a UK release in 1983. An amazing album and one that my 18 year old son owns too, such is the timeless quality. Suggestion wise, worth a listen is Anthony Meynell & Squire 'September Gurls' from 2019. It's an expanded version of their 1984 mini album, a mixture of quality covers and strong originals. Squire have been a favourite of mine since the very early eighties and I can't rate them highly enough. Still can't get your 45s here, so may have to risk vinyl from overseas! Thanks, GJ, England
www.dailymotion.com/video/x223pvn Squire!!! September Gurls was written by Alex Chilton so those in North America are more likely to know it by Big Star or by The Bangle's cover sung by Michael Steele. The Surfrajettes have a strong Mod connection instagram.com/p/B2tv1jQAH8W/ Paul Weller is listed as one of their favourites and I suspect that's down to Sarah Butler. Nicole has a connection with Tom Petty too and where there's Rickenbackers.... You need have no fears about ordering 45's from Hi Tide Recordings. You'll have to pay the cost plus shipping plus tax but I got both in a fortnight and they're woth every penny. Hi Tide signed a distribution deal with UMG last year so I think that by the time an LP appears you'll be able to by it here.
@@chrisst8922 I'm still planning on sending for the 45s asap, but an album sounds great too! I did enjoy the Bangles cover back then, but actually prefer Squire's to the original (sacrilege to some..). Some of the covers the Surfragettes perform are surprising, but really cool (the 'Prunes Too Much Too Dream for one) Cheers for the info.
Very cool! My first 2 albums were Jimi Hendrix Are you experienced, and Robin Trower bridge of sighs! My brother gave them to me for Christmas when I was 11 years old.
With your majestic and superior cackling hen Your people I do not understand, So to you I shall put an end And you'll never hear surf music again -Third Stone From the Sun
Thanks for sharing. I am going to check out The Music Machine right now. Have either of your gone down the Sparks rabbit hole? A Woofer In Tweeters Clothing is a brilliant album from the early 70's. Of course they have spanned the decades and are still making albums but I really dig their early stuff. Take care.
You ladies have great taste. I've had friends who bought the "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" LP at thrift stores as a gag gift, only to find out they liked it when they played it!
Yeah, the Music Machine have been a favorite of mine since I heard Double Yellow line as a 14 year old in the early 80's on college radio. They had a few albums of good material and Sean Bonniwell composed the soundtrack to an interesting drive in movie called Day of the Wolves and the title track is really cool. Great writing and production. I also enjoyed the writing on the copy of A Hard Days Night( I love the Beatles, especially the early stuff). That stuff was pretty funny. Your own music is really fun, which is why I watched your couch surfing clip. Colors are great. Peace.
Nicole, that Beatles record from your dad is priceless. I m sure he is very proud of you. Again you two are so charming.
Yes he is looking down on her extremely proud!!! 🥰
Not to burst anyone's balloon, but the "Hard Day's Night" record is worthless with all the comments written on it. However, the value to Nicole having that album with all the comments by her dad or uncle is priceless, to her. 👍

''BAJA" my favorite surf instrumental of all time>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I love that kick drum solo in A Taste of Honey.
That's Hal Blaine on drums !
I love early surf instrumentals and spaghetti western soundtracks - They are related, I swear!~
and i thought that it was only me that noticed that! i hear some surf style songs and sometimes expect Clint Eastwood to come walking out.
I agree! I feel like Rocky and Bullwinkle II and Sergio Leone’s “Harmonica” theme in Once Upon a Time in the West are related.
I hadn't noticed it before but you're right.
Thanks for the Cleveland shout-out! Also enjoyed Whipped Cream & Other Delights when I was little!
When I was a kid our dad had American Graffiti sound track record and the first time I heard Green Onions I was floored!! I couldn't stop playing it.

I was tempted to list "In Solitude" by Sacred & Secular, but I'm in that musical collective and I want to list outside artists only. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music #Music4URSpirit
My dad had a copy of Whipped Cream and Other Delights that I used to like to listen to as a little boy.
I was fascinated by the album cover too, although being about seven years old, I wasn't quite sure why ;)
I think the album that got me thinking about guitar well before I ever started to play was 'Guitar USA' by
Tony Mottola. Check out his Go Go dancer take on 'Satisfaction'. The back of the album cover has naughty
pictures of Tony's beautiful Gibsons too.
I love what you ladies are doing; hopefully I'll get a chance to see you live when the plague has run it's
course.
Gotta love the TJB! Good pulls, Ladies!
You are both old souls! Awesome selection.. rock on!
Walk, Don't Run Vol. 2 with Nokie Edwards on lead guitar
Ventures in Space
Don’t know if you ladies ever heard of The Danny Morris Band. I think they were originally from the Delaware area, and now they play down in Florida. Great mix of surf guitar and blues. I got to meet him once, very nice guy, asked him to play Walk Don’t Run and he did!
Oh Yeah, bought the Music Machine record back in high school in the 60s, still listening to a CD copy, and LOVE that you cover the Electric Prunes, that’s a high school fav too. Love all your videos, Thank You.
Time Out Dave Brubeck is a great album
The Sgt Pepper of jazz...
I just found your channel and you gals are awesome and beautiful. ❤ it. !
I loved their too much to dream cover, wish they would cover more 60's psych. these are some classy ladies love ya, keep on keeping on.
Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon -- the song Money. Listen to it LOUD in the dark -- you can hear all of the coins jangling.
You girls should record Tellstar, These Boot Are Made for Walking, and some Jan and Dean.
I have the quad version. The coins sound amazing. You can tell they’re real silver. The clocks at the beginning of “Money” are unreal, too.
@@5roundsrapid263 and the cash register . . .
Fantastic choices!! Can’t wait for your double live vinyl release!!!!! I can dream right!!! Love 💕 you guys!!! Be safe!!
Excellent choices. Love your music. And of course I love the Ventures. They are one reason I play guitar. You both are very wonderful.
Ms. Shermy, aside from the subject matter, your polka dots made me smile on this grim morning, and for that i say bless you and thank you. :) And waving to both of you from Boulder, CO.
I love the first album, that was given to me, of The Ventures. It was "The Guitar Genius of The Ventures". I still think that album had some of the most amazing music. Music that I still enjoy hearing.
Loved the Astronauts too. I have a number of cd's of their old albums. Beatles fan too. All the albums plus all the 45's on various labels. Now I need to fill my Surfrajettes collection.
I saw Zeppelin in the mid 70s in Long Island. Great show but my ears rang for a couple of days.
I'm pretty sure my Dad had that Herb Alpert album along with many others. I may be a rock n' roll lover, (along with surf) but I grew up with the Tijuana Brass and thanks to my Dad, have an appreciation for them and older big band.
Wonderful! i love your music! Where can I find The Surfrajettes vinyl records, I live in Ensenada Baja California México
Just press SHOW MORE above and you'll see the Hi Tide link for their singles. The forthcoming LP will in addition be available at record shops.
Its interesting hearing about youre influences...You ladies are great.
I love Herb Albert and the TJB!!! My favorite LP is Going Places. My dad got that when I was a kid and have always loved their sound.
"Whipped Cream," recorded by The Wrecking Crew, who recorded most of the music on the west coast during the 60's.
Hal Blaine.
I’ve got both of your 45’s. Just got the Toxic one in this week. Love your music!
WOW! 11 minutes later and 387 views already!! I'm glad that you GIRLS are keeping the dream alive! It's great to see surf music is still alive and now making a slow resurgence among the younger crowd. Thank you for sharing your wonderful musical gifts with the rest of the world.
Great video and taste of music ladies I'm hoping to get your vinyls soon 🥰
Awesome vinyl pics Ladies!!! Thanks for introducing J.D. McPherson to Me!
When I was a kid we referred to Led Zep 4 as the “Ruins” album. I still don’t know why. In the 60s, my aunt was Herb Alpert’s and Jerry Moss’s exec secretary at A&M and she had an assistant give me a tour of the studios when I was like 9 or 10 yo.

@@jonathanbaggs4275 Yes, did it on my phone with voice-to-text. Missed the typo. Thanks.
Nice to see you are a fan of vinyl. I like your music and influences
55 years old, and I'm getting back into vinyl. Picked up Billy Joel's Piano Man and Streetlife Serenade a few days ago at a local record store which opened in November. First needle drop for me in 35+ years
Shermy, Herb Alpert is married to one of my favourite singers: Lani Hall. She was lead singer for Brazil 66.
maybe they could do 'Lonely Bull'
Wow, cool to know, because a few months ago I noticed that Lani Hall sang the theme song for Sean Connery's last movie as James Bond, "Never Say Never Again" (in 1983).

Probably should have posted this initially
It's terrific that you guys draw from diverse sources for your "likes". The Herb Alpert disc is ubiquitous, and it's great to see someone give it a shout out for how great the music on it is. Good insight here.
Nice selections; it's always fun to hear about unheralded, quality works that fly under the radar. Back in the '80s, there was a Finnish band named "Laika and the Cosmonauts" doing their bit to give surf influences, Finnish traditional and '60s pop music a shot in the arm. Interesting and unusual. There are videos watchable on TH-cam that can be auditioned. You may find them a kick. There is an outstanding one containing the songs Kiiriminna (trad folk) and the standard Perfidia. Not to mention there are a Strat, Jaguar and Danelectro bass used... and a Farfisa! Also, check out the matching space-themed shirts the members are wearing! Keep doin' that thing you do; we love it!
Some great eclectic choices. 'A hard day's night' is also my favourite Beatles album.
You girls are great, your look, your style and tastes. and also, I totally agree with David Shawn's comment below, no tatoos , please don't do it, your look right now is GREAT!
that Zepplin album was the first album I ever bought, I had so many 45's when I was a kid and like you the Beatles, I enjoy watching your band here on youtube, and being fellow Canadians
It appears that Nicole & I have the exact same taste...and I'm 66 !! I also have that Astronauts album, as my older brother bought it originally in 1963, and I inherited it when he moved out of the house. My 200+ collection also includes THREE copies of Zeppelin 4 along with 1, 2, 3 and 5...and all of the Beatles albums. (I also keep the movie "A Hard Days Night" on my television's DVR.) ALso have several Tom Petty's vinyls.
BOTTOM LINE: You have stellar taste in Classic Rock, Nicole! I'm very proud of BOTH of you for embracing the roots of R&R. ❤from Phoenix
Hope y'all can take your favorites, & record your adaption of them on an album. Suffragettes, Such an Outstanding band.
That Herb Alpert album was a big part of my childhood,too.Love hearing those songs now and glad to hear you mention it as a fav!!
I think Shermy looks especially nice in this one. A blue ladybird.
Wow Christ (And you spelled my name wrong...
Such a flashy dude!
@@georgeferreira124 I haven't written you name George but I would have spelt it correctly if I had.
Luv your Album picks. Just tuned in to the Music Machine...... Well ahead of their time....... Thank You for continuing the Music Passion...
Hi, I loved that you picked the Music Machine! I bought this as a sixteen year old when it finally got a UK release in 1983. An amazing album and one that my 18 year old son owns too, such is the timeless quality. Suggestion wise, worth a listen is Anthony Meynell & Squire 'September Gurls' from 2019. It's an expanded version of their 1984 mini album, a mixture of quality covers and strong originals. Squire have been a favourite of mine since the very early eighties and I can't rate them highly enough. Still can't get your 45s here, so may have to risk vinyl from overseas! Thanks, GJ, England

Squire!!! September Gurls was written by Alex Chilton so those in North America are more likely to know it by Big Star or by The Bangle's cover sung by Michael Steele.
The Surfrajettes have a strong Mod connection instagram.com/p/B2tv1jQAH8W/ Paul Weller is listed as one of their favourites and I suspect that's down to Sarah Butler. Nicole has a connection with Tom Petty too and where there's Rickenbackers....
You need have no fears about ordering 45's from Hi Tide Recordings. You'll have to pay the cost plus shipping plus tax but I got both in a fortnight and they're woth every penny. Hi Tide signed a distribution deal with UMG last year so I think that by the time an LP appears you'll be able to by it here.
@@chrisst8922 I'm still planning on sending for the 45s asap, but an album sounds great too! I did enjoy the Bangles cover back then, but actually prefer Squire's to the original (sacrilege to some..). Some of the covers the Surfragettes perform are surprising, but really cool (the 'Prunes Too Much Too Dream for one) Cheers for the info.
Very cool! My first 2 albums were Jimi Hendrix Are you experienced, and Robin Trower bridge of sighs! My brother gave them to me for Christmas when I was 11 years old.
With your majestic and superior cackling hen
Your people I do not understand,
So to you I shall put an end
And you'll never hear surf music again
-Third Stone From the Sun
The Astronauts from Boulder CO, have some in my collection. TJB was on heavy rotation in our house... I discovered Hightide but haven't ordered yet.
Thanks for sharing. I am going to check out The Music Machine right now. Have either of your gone down the Sparks rabbit hole? A Woofer In Tweeters Clothing is a brilliant album from the early 70's. Of course they have spanned the decades and are still making albums but I really dig their early stuff. Take care.
Love Sparks! Great new documentary out now called The Sparks Brothers.
@@joepapaleo9543 Yeah I saw that.....can't wait. Looks like Todd Rundgren finally got his way (Sparks Brothers).
You ladies have great taste. I've had friends who bought the "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" LP at thrift stores as a gag gift, only to find out they liked it when they played it!
you ladies are just AWSEOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Astronauts Competition Coupe is one of my favorite LPs! great choices!
Yeah, the Music Machine have been a favorite of mine since I heard Double Yellow line as a 14 year old in the early 80's on college radio. They had a few albums of good material and Sean Bonniwell composed the soundtrack to an interesting drive in movie called Day of the Wolves and the title track is really cool. Great writing and production. I also enjoyed the writing on the copy of A Hard Days Night( I love the Beatles, especially the early stuff). That stuff was pretty funny. Your own music is really fun, which is why I watched your couch surfing clip. Colors are great. Peace.
Thanks for the music recommendations; I had never heard of The Music Machine. Put them on last night while cooking dinner. Excellent 60s vibes.
That picture of Shermy doing the Herb Albert album cover should be on t-shirts that we can buy.
I just love the surfrajettes 💃💃💃
Love the Egyptian eye makeup.
