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.
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.
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
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 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.👍👍
I like the art work on your albums. I said this before. But I remember those days of buying those albums. Getting to play the album while looking at the art work and reading the lyrics. I bought that Herb Alpert album at a thrift store for .25 and gave it to someone for Christmas.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you haven't already would be cool to see you cover The Pyramids. Also that particular Tijuana Brass record is in literally EVERY thrift store I visit .....that is surely a testament to how many copies they deservedly sold.
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 🙂
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❤
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.
Oh Shermy! TJB! Nerd confession: The first album I ever bought was either the one you're holding or "Sounds Like." I was into TJB while all my friends were Beatlemaniacs. It took a while before I caught up and warmed up to Zepplin, Cream, even Hendrix - all of whom I have been a huge fan of now for many decades. I think it was the Glenn Miller influence of my parents.
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
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!
Check out the material recorded by the late Jerry Cole in the 1960's. "Psychedellic Guitars" and "More Psychedellic Guitars" (yes that is how it was spelled on the LP covers) were two budget albums recorded in 1967 on Custom Records that feature his surf guitar work. His last effort, the CD "Back To The Boards" was recorded shortly before his death. Jerry was also a great session player with The Wrecking Crew.
The Music Machine were awesome. I first heard them on the Nuggets compilation which had their song "Double Yellow Line". I then found an early 80s reissue of the first album on white vinyl along with the Bonniwell Music Machine LP-both bought at the Philadelphia Record Exchange off South Street. I also bought the excellent Count V Psychotic Reaction album the same day. Great memories!
I love Whipped Cream and Other Delights! Also I own a copy of the Ventures Surfing with LURCH scrawled across it in magic marker back in the sixties. It makes it soooo much cooler.
2:05 Ahhh, the famous Herb Alpert Whipped Cream album cover. I met the model, live and in person. Google this: " The model, Dolores Erickson Huffines, now of Kelso, calls the cover “the little ghost that follows me” but has grown to enjoy the attention "
Oh Yes! Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass I remember my dad has a couple of LPs with them when I was a child. The records has disapered long time ago but my dad lives and he is now 87 years old. Well, nostalgia bit me so I have bought some HATBrass LPs lately, like that Whipped Cream one. I like it very much. By the way, I like your stile and I think you are a great surfmusic band. Keep on playing the guitar!
Love "Hard Day's Night", I've just bought a new vinyl copy of it. 25 years ago I met Norman Rossington who played "Norm" who was the Beatles manager in the movie. It was at a small film festival and had the chance to have a good chat to him about this movie. Love Led Zeppelin too, with John Bonham, who was pretty local to me and dated someone I knew. Jimmy Page is just a legend and I've got a few Led Zeppelin albums in my vinyl collection. Love Herb Alpert too and have a couple of his 60's vinyls.
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!
I am definitely in the target market when it comes to buying records for colors! When I was a kid, we'd get them on cereal boxes, believe it or not. I'll be picking up some vinyl for sure to hang with my Beatles, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, etc.
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!
Led Zeppelin was my "carry-over" album. I went to the Catholic highschool and listened to bands like The Cure and The Smiths, The Jam and The Who. I became friends with a few punk-rockers from the Art School and they exposed me to The Clash and The Dead Kennedy's. I remember a lot of rainy days that we skipped school and drove out to Komoka where my friend's parents lived and we would smoke hash from a bottle while playing Risk and listening to Led Zeppelin and some really hard core British Punk Rock. I have a question for your new videos which I, in every way, consider the most sweet and bubbly and colourful show. Your set is PERFECT!!! When I watch I get the same stable and visionary feeling that people refer to things like Tom Wolfe's novels. Solid! Do you guys still do shows? Your music has that AWESOME attribute because each one of you is a genius. Listen, and I'm quite serious.... Give me the Ok to write an epic screenplay with all tracks done by you (and sell the (your)) soundtrack as an album after the film comes out.. It's your album... Also you would obviously be paid (Bigtime) for just doing the music for the film.. I know you can play it... I know I can write it (the film)... By me trying to write to the level of your music creatively and artistically it will play out just like that. It's the same relationship that David Lynch has with his composer Angelo Badalamenti Dear Sisters I've been wanting to complete but have written very creative parts of screenplays. Thisz my first complete film I want to BE THE LITERAL LOS ANGELES movie. More Spike Lee than Tarantino. Tarantino is getting too much credit I think. Just because he played Miserlou as the Intro to Pulp Fiction everybody associated the movie with that Los Angeles "Miserlou" surf type of feeling. The movie itself really wasn't! Or not much... My brother Nelson Ferreira IMDb was a nominee himself for an Oscar about 4 years ago for his sound-editing on the film The Shape of Water.. I'm telling you guys again... Not cause you're all beautiful but because it's true that you guys are ultimate stars!!!! I love your videos and I play your songs usually everyday.
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.
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: . ruclips.net/video/IwFH3HcBn7w/видео.html
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.
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!🎸🎸😁👍🎼🎶🎵
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).
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Favorite all-time records for me would be Jellyfish - Bellybutton and their final release Spilt Milk. Also Superdrag - Head trip in every key. Love you two.
JD MacPherson's drummer, Jason Smay, used to be the drummer for Los Straitjackets (where he went by the moniker of "Teen Beat"), which sort of provides the guitar-instrumental connection to the sound of the Surfrajettes. On a side note, I went to the ceremony/concert for the Astronauts to be inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in September of 2012. I got drummer Jim Gallagher to sign my copy of the "Competition Coupe" album.
Nice call outs. I have always been a fan of 60's jazz. Astrud Gilberto's - Beach Samba is high on my vinyl list. But of course had to add Hale'iwa Hustle, was such a nice addition.
:) My parents and grandparents were big Herb Alpert fans too. I first came across "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" when I was in my early teens, so "Thank you Dolores Erickson (the model).". Who else has seen the original "Casino Royale" movie? It's when a different studio got the rights to the James Bond franchise, and came up with a proto-Austin Powers. With Peter Sellers, David Niven, Ursual Andress, Woody Allen, and Orson Welles, the cast was a real "Who's who?" of the time. Herb Alpert contributed the theme song while Burt Bacharach provided the rest of the soundtrack. The film is the origin of Dusty Springfield's recording of "the Look of Love" (which Susanna Hoffs covered when her husband was creating the Austin movies).
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. 👍

Is it safe to say that Shermy and Nicole are the "John and Paul" of the Surfragettes?🤣🤣

You guys are awesome! I've threatened to start up a surf band several times in my life🙂Maybe someday you'll come to Alabama and I'll see you live.
If you haven't already would be cool to see you cover The Pyramids. Also that particular Tijuana Brass record is in literally EVERY thrift store I visit .....that is surely a testament to how many copies they deservedly sold.
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 🙂
Great taste in music. With your surf roots, there is no surprise that you love all the 60s stuff. Always enjoy your videos.
JD McPherson's Let the Good Times Roll is such a rockin' tune!!!
you ladies are just AWSEOME!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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❤

Oh Yes! Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass

PS: Since I've Been Loving You, from LZ3, is the greatest Zeppelin tune, IMO.

Threshold of a Dream - Moody Blues, and the St Elmos Fire soundtrack were two I wore out as a kid. Also the best of Queen and the best of the Cars.
Thanks for the music recommendations; I had never heard of The Music Machine. Put them on last night while cooking dinner. Excellent 60s vibes.
Nicole, those are my top 2 fav bands...
Led Zep n the Beatles 💋
You got me to pull out my Whipped Cream album to play, Wow, A Taste of Honey is the best version ever covered! Great Album.
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!
I am definitely in the target market when it comes to buying records for colors! When I was a kid, we'd get them on cereal boxes, believe it or not. I'll be picking up some vinyl for sure to hang with my Beatles, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, etc.
Thanks for Surfing with the Astronauts!
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!
Led Zeppelin was my "carry-over" album. I went to the Catholic highschool and listened to bands like The Cure and The Smiths, The Jam and The Who. I became friends with a few punk-rockers from the Art School and they exposed me to The Clash and The Dead Kennedy's. I remember a lot of rainy days that we skipped school and drove out to Komoka where my friend's parents lived and we would smoke hash from a bottle while playing Risk and listening to Led Zeppelin and some really hard core British Punk Rock.
I have a question for your new videos which I, in every way, consider the most sweet and bubbly and colourful show. Your set is PERFECT!!! When I watch I get the same stable and visionary feeling that people refer to things like Tom Wolfe's novels. Solid! Do you guys still do shows? Your music has that AWESOME attribute because each one of you is a genius. Listen, and I'm quite serious....
Give me the Ok to write an epic screenplay with all tracks done by you (and sell the (your)) soundtrack as an album after the film comes out..
It's your album...
Also you would obviously be paid (Bigtime) for just doing the music for the film..
I know you can play it...
I know I can write it (the film)...
By me trying to write to the level of your music creatively and artistically it will play out just like that.
It's the same relationship that David Lynch has with his composer Angelo Badalamenti
Dear Sisters I've been wanting to complete but have written very creative parts of screenplays. Thisz my first complete film I want to BE THE LITERAL LOS ANGELES movie.
More Spike Lee than Tarantino.
Tarantino is getting too much credit I think. Just because he played Miserlou as the Intro to Pulp Fiction everybody associated the movie with that Los Angeles "Miserlou" surf type of feeling. The movie itself really wasn't! Or not much...
My brother Nelson Ferreira IMDb was a nominee himself for an Oscar about 4 years ago for his sound-editing on the film The Shape of Water..
I'm telling you guys again...
Not cause you're all beautiful but because it's true that you guys are ultimate stars!!!! I love your videos and I play your songs usually everyday.
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.
Yep ! Herb! Great jam!
extremely pleasant video. sorely needed wholesomeness in the current debacle. i have the music machine & herb alpert but unaware of the astronauts as yet! 🎸 🇨🇦 👍
Yes definitely a refreshing clip of these lovely girls while we're all submerged in this horrible era ...
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: . ruclips.net/video/IwFH3HcBn7w/видео.html
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.
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!🎸🎸😁👍🎼🎶🎵
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
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.
Love the Egyptian eye makeup.
Gotta love the TJB! Good pulls, Ladies!
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.
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 . . .
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
That music machine record blew me away the first time I heard it. I Love that thick fuzz guitar so much!
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.
Time Out Dave Brubeck is a great album
The Sgt Pepper of jazz...
Yes, love Herb and the TJB. Thanks for the eye candy girls.
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
Luv your Album picks. Just tuned in to the Music Machine...... Well ahead of their time....... Thank You for continuing the Music Passion...
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.
You need to get Nuggets compilation on Rhino. Lots of great 60's underground rock.
Yes very good collections of psyc. rock.
Thank you Shermy and Nicole, for this presentation of your colored vinyls, well done, very charming too, best regards @ +
Favorite all-time records for me would be Jellyfish - Bellybutton and their final release Spilt Milk.
Also Superdrag - Head trip in every key.
Love you two.
Great video and taste of music ladies I'm hoping to get your vinyls soon 🥰
JD MacPherson's drummer, Jason Smay, used to be the drummer for Los Straitjackets (where he went by the moniker of "Teen Beat"), which sort of provides the guitar-instrumental connection to the sound of the Surfrajettes. On a side note, I went to the ceremony/concert for the Astronauts to be inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in September of 2012. I got drummer Jim Gallagher to sign my copy of the "Competition Coupe" album.
Wow Herb Alpert I had that album and love it. Too funny! The Bullfighter Song. Oh man, that one was IT!
Nice call outs. I have always been a fan of 60's jazz. Astrud Gilberto's - Beach Samba is high on my vinyl list. But of course had to add Hale'iwa Hustle, was such a nice addition.
I am so happy you love the old vinyl!!!
Its interesting hearing about youre influences...You ladies are great.
I inherited my father's Tijuana Brass collection of vinyls including the Whip Cream record. Nice.
Yup my Mom !!! 👍
that's a good collection. you ladies have great taste in music.
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.
:) My parents and grandparents were big Herb Alpert fans too. I first came across "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" when I was in my early teens, so "Thank you Dolores Erickson (the model).". Who else has seen the original "Casino Royale" movie? It's when a different studio got the rights to the James Bond franchise, and came up with a proto-Austin Powers. With Peter Sellers, David Niven, Ursual Andress, Woody Allen, and Orson Welles, the cast was a real "Who's who?" of the time. Herb Alpert contributed the theme song while Burt Bacharach provided the rest of the soundtrack. The film is the origin of Dusty Springfield's recording of "the Look of Love" (which Susanna Hoffs covered when her husband was creating the Austin movies).
Great taste! You girls are the top of the heap!
