April 20, 2023 Record of the Day

The Fantastic Baggys sounded like a group but actually it was just two studio musicians, P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri. The duo wrote many Surf and Hot Rod songs for acts like Jan and Dean and can even be heard on some of their records. Although the Fantastic Baggys consisted of just two guys, the cover on their album, “Tell ‘Em I’m Surfin,” shows four members but the other two were just friends who did not play on the record. Released on Imperial Records in 1964, the album is worth up to $100.00 today.
