Floral Park, NY – Crossfire Publications is in the process of releasing a 20-volume series of recordings from the pre-Mothers era, with many unreleased tracks featured.
The most notable releases in the series come from Paul Buff, owner of Pal Studios in Cucamonga, California from 1957-1964. The initial six releases took place in March: The Bongo Teens’ “Surfin’ Bongos” (mono and stereo), The Hollywood Persuaders’ “Drums A-Go-Go” (mono and stereo) and “Singles &Rarities,” and “Raw Tracks” featuring both groups.
The Bongo Teens featured Buff and fellow Pal associate Dave Aerni (lead guitar), while Buff played nearly all the instruments on the Hollywood Persuaders releases.
