What with releases from The Biscaynes and Nick and The Jaguars, Berry Gordy seems to have been on the ball in releasing pre-surf surf music where you can hear the genesis of tunes like "Pipeline" by The Chantays via these "rockabilly" sides.

Surfing the web reveals that Dick Dale as probably the first self-proclaimed surf guitarist and coined the name for this genre but others pre-dated such as The Bel Airs and The Fireballs.

Interesting period in Motown's history but I'll leave it for the more knowledgable American folks who maybe able to tease out further info on these Motown releases.
