The book was originally published in 1988.[1] It consists of 421 pages and is divided into 41 chapters and each chapter chronicles a music group.[2] It also gives a discographical study on the bands in the chapters.[3]

Author Dalley, himself a musician started out interviewing two former members of the group, The Surfaris. His reason for seeking them out originally was to find out how to re-create the surf sound from the 1960s. The taped interview developed info the basis of an article. This was submitted to the record collector magazine Goldmine. He became a regular contributor the magazine and was interviewing bands. Later he decided to compile a book with a thorough history on surf music. In hunting down info, he had to enlist the help of a private detective to track down a band that was hard to find.[4]

Artists in the book include Larry Samson of Jerry & The Diamonds,[5] Dick Dale,[6] The Challengers[7] and the Invaders.[8] The book also looks at "reverb" use in surf music.[9]
