SUPER RARE ORIGINAL SEALED PRESSING!!

 "DIRTY FEET"

VERY RARE Movie Soundtrack LP - 1965 - Fink Records (DTL 290) RARE 1st RELEASE

The obscure underground cult surf film, "Dirty Feet" starring musician Tim Morgon and Vicki Arthur is still screened today as a view back in time to the beach life in Southern California during the mid-60s. Never has one album so summed up the general feeling of Balboa Island (California) during the early '60s than this 1965 soundtrack to the rare independent film Dirty Feet, starring folk singer Tim Morgon and his sidekick Vicki Arthur. Morgon contributes two vocal numbers, the anthemic "Dirty Feet" and the hootenanny sing-a-long "Mike Fink." What lies between these captures faithfully that rare environment between Balboa Island, Pavilion and Pier. The "Prison of Socrates" instrumental cut is traditional Greek folk music, and sets the stage for musical references that informed the Middle Eastern exoticism of many surf instrumentals. The moody "Gamblin' Man" breaks stride with what is, otherwise, essentially a folk album . . . this being a breezy surf instrumental inflection of the night-time moon and tides. "Camping Song" sounds like surfboards sliding through the pilings . . . it works as happy music for anywhere. The Grecian formula-flavored "Odessey" rolls along with its combination of Amerian rock 'n' roll and European flair, and can be DJ'd along with any other Bosstella numbers you may prefer (not as frantic as the soundtrack to The Day the Fish Came Out, but on the way there). Next up, the instrumental backing track to Tim's vocal number "Dirty Feet" works as somber 12-string guitar "walking music." Susan Renaker's "Summertime Wine" sounds like an ode to Joan Baez, with a strong falsetto vocal landing somewhere between "Kum-Baya" and an exotica siren. (NOTE: "Summertime Wine" is the title of a book that Tim Morgon is reading during the opening credits of Dirty Feet, his feet set on a bamboo table with empty bottles.) "Angel's Camp" could refer to the Sunset Strip-esque Pop and Op shop, at 614 N. Doheny Drive back then, or, someplace in the San Gabriel mountains. Either way, it's killer surf. "Cotton Candy" mind checks the prime dietary capital of the Balboa Fun Zone, and is a romatic surfer's mood number. It's followed by a slowed-down version of "Odessey" and a chugging Folk instrumental rendering of "Mike Fink." The "Dirty Feet" theme is reprised vocally by Morgon in a profound, slowed-down version, and the LP closes. Generally speaking, the Dirty Feet soundtrack employs the same placid moodiness found in the Mar-Kets' "Balboa Blue" single, only spread across an entire album. Though the whole affair might seem like a mind-altering trip to some lost astral plane, when you watch the film and walk around the town of Balboa, you get a sense that it is all really real, and that this type of music poured into the streets on any given 1964 night.  Not many of these were made to begin with, and its rarity is magnified by the fact that hardly any survived in any condition, let alone a SEALED copy!!!
