Only became aware of this record via checking up the history of John Carter (Ivy League, Flowerpot Men, numerous others). I think he used Tony Burrows and session singer Chas Mills to record this song which he co-wrote with his wife, Jill Shakespeare. Cherry Red Records have a 4 CD remastered compilation coming out tomorrow with all his songs recorded by him and various group formations and this record is on this collection. This was also a top twenty hit in the U.K. and was the only big hit The First Class achieved. Good driving sound which sounds first class on this great remix. Thanks for this one.
My goodness! What a blast from the past. Haven't heard this for yonks. Embarrassingly I knew all of the lyrics. Great sound! Enjoyed. Thanks Radio Wollaton.
Do you remember back in old L.A. (oh oh oh) When everybody drove a Chevrolet (oh oh oh) Whatever happened to the boy next door The sun-tanned crew-cut all-American male Remember dancin' at the high school hop (oh oh oh) The dress I ruined with the soda pop (oh oh oh) I didn't recognize the girl next-door The beat up sneakers and the pony tail Beach baby, Beach Baby give me your hand (give me your hand) Give me somethin' that I can remember (give me something to remember) Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight Beach baby, Beach baby there on the sand (there on the sand) From July 'till (from July) the end of September (to September) Surfin' was fun, we'd be out in the sun every day Mmmm, I never thought that it would end and I was everybody's friend Ooooh ooooh Long hot days Cool sea haze Jukebox plays But now it's fading away [Bridge, Music and ah's] We couldn't wait for graduation Day oh oh oh We took my car and drove to San Jose oh oh oh That's where you told me that you'd wear my ring I guess you don't remember anything

Thanks Henry. This one is a bit modern for my channel, but people kept requesting it !
Another song I always enjoyed but never heard redone in a stereo sound as you offer is by CLUMAX … PRECIOUS AND FEW .
Probably the era as Beach baby
This upload sounds as good as the one in my CD collection. I don't think I could improve it much

Surely one of the great arrangements from the 70's... sounding even better here. Thank you!
Thanks david !
I remember when I first heard this on the radio in 1974 I was totally blown away.
Played this great song at many a gig back in the day, and I always try to get it in on the odd radio show I do these days

Never knew what to make of this. Sounds like they're trying to find their way through the '70's.

Do you remember back in old L.A. (oh oh oh)
When everybody drove a Chevrolet (oh oh oh)
Whatever happened to the boy next door
The sun-tanned crew-cut all-American male
Remember dancin' at the high school hop (oh oh oh)
The dress I ruined with the soda pop (oh oh oh)
I didn't recognize the girl next-door
The beat up sneakers and the pony tail
Beach baby, Beach Baby give me your hand (give me your hand)
Give me somethin' that I can remember (give me something to remember)
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach baby, Beach baby there on the sand (there on the sand)
From July 'till (from July) the end of September (to September)
Surfin' was fun, we'd be out in the sun every day
Mmmm, I never thought that it would end
and I was everybody's friend Ooooh ooooh
Long hot days
Cool sea haze
Jukebox plays
But now it's fading away
[Bridge, Music and ah's]
We couldn't wait for graduation Day oh oh oh
We took my car and drove to San Jose oh oh oh
That's where you told me that you'd wear my ring
I guess you don't remember anything
Great again!
Thanks Benoit !
Has anyone ever noticed that the Strawberry Switchblade song 'Since Yesterday' ripped off the tune at 3:05?
🎧👍👍👍 I've never heard it so good. Great harmonies; thank you, Pat. @radiowollaton8521
