Fact #17537

When:

Short story:

Dick Dale and The Del-Tones release a new single, Let's Go Trippin', on Deltone Records in the USA.

Full article:

Dick Dale : There's no reverb on Let's Go Trippin'. It wasn't invented. That came later. We stole it out of a Hammond organ. I had no bravado in my voice, and I wanted sustaining sound, so we took it out of a Hammond organ, put it in an amp and I put in a microphone and sang and got sustaining sound and I said "Bitchin'!" Then I tried my guitar and said, "Really bitchin'!"

But (Dale's debut album) Surfer's Choice sold 80,000 copies, which is like selling a million today, without any reverb. So when historians, so called historians, say the reverb's the Surf sound... they don't know what they're talking about. It's the heavy machine gun, staccato sound. The waves.
