Artist:  The Raybeats

Title:  Guitar Beat

Date:  1981

Cover Design:  Murray Brenman

Photo and Hand Coloring:  Laura Levine

Notes:  This is some great instrumental surf here folks.  Along with the prerequisite guitar sounds and scales there is one of the best nasty sax sounds on record.   These boys roll along on the brink of an eerie edge between danger and delight.   Pick it up if you can find it.  And the cover shows us their fashion sense with matching outfits and guitars.

Line Up:

Jody Harris: guitar
Danny Amis: bass and guitar
Pat Irwin: alto saxophone, Acetone combo organ, guitar
Don Christensen: drums
