Checkered Flag (album)
1963 studio album by Dick Dale / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Checkered Flag is the third studio album by Dick Dale and his Del-Tones, released in 1963. This is Dale's first entry into hot rod rock, which The Beach Boys, among others, were beginning to perform and record. Here the style shifts somewhat and features slightly altered beats and some added sounds to give the impression of the energy of Hot-rodding (this is not always the case though). The majority of the songs on this album are titled with themes of racing and Hot-rodding. Dale's next album Mr. Eliminator is basically a follow-up to this, featuring more hot rod songs.
