The Duals Meet The Raiders – Stick, Shift & Twist

• Presenting two hugely collectable Instrumental albums from the early 60s, plus bonus tracks.
• Quintessential one-hit wonders THE DUALS were a shortlived teenaged guitar duo, who teamed up just long enough to cut the classic West Coast Hot Rod/Drag anthem, ‘Stick Shift’.
• One of the genre’s earliest national hits, it connected with Hot Rod and nascent Surf music fans, selling some 500,000 copies.
• However, the duo drifted apart after cutting an LP and one further 45rpm.
• THE RAIDERS were an equally shortlived, studio-only band, built around guitarist Tommy Allsup, whose recorded legacy likewise runs to an LP and a non-album single.
• Their revival of ‘Dardanella’ was a huge hit in Scandinavia, in 1962, while their LP “Twistin’ The Country Classics” is something of a ‘must-have’ collectors’ item, appealing equally to Instro and Surf fans.
