The group played many parties and other events around Southern California during their run, their peak in business likely occurring during the surf music craze of 1963. They recorded an album, “Surfer’s Pajama Party”, while signed to Bob Keane’s Del-Fi label. The LP’s title and catalog number, however, were identical to another album recorded by Bruce Johnston’s Surfing Band, effectively dooming the release. Another album, “Battle Of The Surf Bands” (a split LP featuring mostly Centurians recordings) was released as well.
The band’s legacy is centered around a couple soundtracks, namely Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction (featuring “Bullwinkle Pt. 2), though the 70s cult classic Pink Flamingos (featuring their cover of the Revels hit “Intoxica”) is also somewhat responsible for the bands’ post ‘60s fandom.

Don't know for sure, but I would not be surprised is this tune wasn't titled "Vesuvius" due to the fact that is heavily dominated by the Sax! And very well at that, I might add.

Thanks. I played bari on this and my best friend, Ken Robison (RIP) played tenor.
