Wipe Out (album)

Wipe Out is a Dot Records album credited to The Surfaris, released in 1963.

It turned out that only two tracks, "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe" were actually played by The Surfaris, therefore repressings were titled Wipe Out and Surfer Joe and Other Popular Selections by Other Instrumental Groups.

The remaining tracks were played by members of The Challengers plus other musicians..

The album features cover versions of rock standards, minus the two originals, "Wipe Out" and "Surfer Joe".

"Wipe Out" was written by all members of the band, whilst "Surfer Joe" was penned by drummer Ron Wilson.
