The Phantom Surfers

XXX Party

Lookout!

This particular party has more X’s than the audience at an Earth Crisis concert. The Phantom Surfers give us a bawdy slab of plastic worthy of your next stag party, twenty tracks and numerous guest shots (from Blowfly, Rudy Ray Moore and Neil Hamburger) adding up to one of the filthiest records I’ve heard in quite some time. Take for example “The Phantom Surfers’ Alphabet,” which ranges from “About time to f**k” to “Zombie Pussy.” Matters perverse and scatological are discussed with the same enthusiasm as the latest sports rankings, and to be quite honest, I can only guess at some of the practices the Surfers encourage. Guaranteed to drive women wild!

Lookout! Records, P.O. Box 11374, Berkeley, CA 94701
