I never really understood when i bought this record that the title was Hot Rodders Battle Rock and Roll, I always thought Rock and Roll and Hot Rods go hand in hand, why fight? Well I found out when i played this record... great mid 60's rock, lots of sax, organ, your drums, your guitar... but... overpowering (pardon the pun) hot rod sound effects.  Your loud mufflers, screeching tires, souped up engines. So for your driving and listening enjoyment I present Ruby Short and his Dragsters.

Cool, thanks, always looking for more obscure surf stuff.

Was that tape-rewind sound towards the end of "Dragster Blues" part of the original recording? Maybe no-one at Palace Records bothered to actually listen to their own releases for quality-control.

yep, that was part of the recording,i guess the palace records sound effects engineer decided"screw it ,the kids will think it's a hot rod sound", heh heh.
