Like man, here’s an album of the new, “something else” music that’s currently exciting the imagination and enthusiasm of young hot rodders across the land.
It’s inspired by the sounds of asphalt-searing drag races, and it’s performed by a bright, hip group known as The Rip Chords. These Southern California singing, swinging dragsters – Phil Stewart, Arnie Marcus, Rich Rotkin and Bernie Bringas – have appeared together for the past couple of years in California clubs and are soon to go on a national tour. In addition to their biggest hit, Hey Little Cobra, you’ll find such tunes from the thrill-packed hot rod world as Here I Stand, 409, Gone, Shut Down and Drag City.
If you’re thinking this is For Hot Rodders Only, forget it; it’s for anyone who likes wide-open, high-riding, big-beat music – as fast-paced as the slick Ford “Cobra” pictured on the album cover!

STEREO “360 SOUND”
Stereo “360 SOUND” represents the ultimate in listening enjoyment. Every aspect of recording activity has been carefully supervised by Columbia’s engineers and craftsmen, using the very latest electronic equipment. Stereo “360 SOUND” creates the effect of surrounding the listener with glorious, true-to-life active sound. It is as if one were sitting in the first row center at an actual performance.
Columbia’s studios have been designed with uniform sound characteristics and are equipped with sixteen-channel consoles and custom-calibrated multi-track tape machines engineered and built to Columbia’s own specifications. The microphones used are chosen for their individual sound properties depending upon the orchestration, the artist and the concept of the producer of the recording. Some of the microphones are: the Sony C37A; Telefunken-Neumann’s U67, U47, M49B, KM54A, KM56; the AKG’s C60, C12 and Electro Voice 655C. Only high-output tape affording maximum signal to noise ratio is used. Such tape, of great tensile strength and thickness, additionally aids in the elimination of print-through and reduction of distortion and hiss.
The reduction of the original multi-track tape to the final master tape is performed on editing consoles hand-tooled by Columbia’s engineering staff to accommodate any number of channels. The transfer of master tape to master lacquer is made via a Westrex or Ortofon cutter installed on a Scully lathe equipped with automatic variable pitch and electronic depth controls. Before production is begun, a master pressing is compared to the final tape (A-B checked). It is only after the recording has passed this critical test that Columbia’s engineers give the final approval for manufacture, secure in the knowledge that each Stereo “360 SOUND” disc will have the same full-bodied, multi-dimensional sound as that originally recorded in the studio.
