How ‘bout that. I wasn’t aware.
I was thinking of the “Telstar” Iornados
Although it was a big hit in Los Angeles,”Bustin Surfboards” failed to score east of Cajon Pass and didn’t even make the Billboard Hot 100. “Telstar,” on the other hand, went to #1 nationally.
In Southern California, charts put out by local radio stations that had both songs listed “Telstar” as being by the English Tornados. The “Bustin’ Surfboards” Tornados later changed their name to the Hollywood Tornados.
