AMG Bio.txt AMG Review.txt Notes.txt (which is simply these notes included in the torrent) Bio from All Music: Along with Minnesota's Trashmen, the Astronauts (from Colorado) were the premier landlocked Midwestern surf group of the '60s. They recorded numerous singles and albums and achieved vast regional popularity, but only scored one modest national hit, "Baja." With little material of their own, they judiciously tapped heavyweights like Lee Hazelwood (who wrote "Baja"), Roger Christian, and Gary Usher, as well as covering tunes by Dick Dale and Henry Mancini. The group shone brightest on their instrumentals, which used mounds of Fender reverb and two rhythm guitars; when they sang, the results were much less successful.

Competition Coupe was the Astronauts' attempt at a hot rod album and its surprisingly enjoyable. There's not many classic hot rod songs -- "Our Car Club" comes the closest -- but it's a speedy, trashy delight with such songs as "The Hearse," "Devil Driver's Theme," "Happy Ho-Daddy," "Devil Driver," "Chevy Scarfer," "El Aguila," 4:56 Stingray" and "650 Scrambler." Orbit Campus is the Astronauts' take on frat-rock classics, which means there's a bunch of rock & roll oldies -- "Johnny B. Goode," "Be-Bop-A-Lu-La," "Good Golly Miss Molly," "Bony Moronie," "Roll Over Beethoven," etc. -- plus the odd collegiate folk song like "Greenback Dollar." The end result is a fun, if unremarkable, rock & roll record, much like this single-disc compilation.
