Art Direction:  Big Al

File Under:  Slot Cars

Notes:  Anybody out there remember going out to the local Hobby Hut or like emporium of fine model road racing accessories to match your HO hot rods against any and all comers? No, well sit back and let the Surfers clue you in on the lingo, swoosh of the cars as they scream along the track and the musical equivalent of holding that hot little controller in your hand. Never ones to disappoint, the Surfers stick to the theme at hand and keep their eyes on the prize. The record came with a pamphlet discussing the slots, controllers and offering more fun Phantom Surfer merchandise. The cover shot is a perfect depiction of the thrills. Chills and even spills that happen out there in the real slot racing world. A heady mix of euphoria and depression. Ah, the simple joys of life.
