SURF CITY



Surf City seems to have been one of the many DIY labels that made a brief appearance in the '70s.  The only record on the label that I have been able to trace was a single by the Boer Four, 'The Boers Have Got My Daddy', which is said to date from 1978.  It was recorded at the Westward Ho! Holiday Centre - presumably the Boer Four provided the entertainment there.  The catalogue number of the single was SCR-101, and, as can be seen, the label itself was of typical simple DIY design.  The rough inner / smooth outer suggests an Orlake pressing.  Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing the label to my attention and to Nicholas Hough for supplying the scan.
