Yet until the late 1960s, you needed an impressive collection of 45s if you wanted to hear those songs in your home or at a party. But beginning with Atlantic Records' \u003cem\u003eBeach Beat\u003c\/em\u003e in 1967, that music slowly became available on albums from Bell, Warner Bros., Ripete and other labels. Through interviews and firsthand accounts, author Rick Simmons examines the stories behind those classic albums, the people who created them and the artists and songs that contributed to the phenomenon known as Carolina beach music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467157728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160","brand":"Rick Simmons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44988210446517,"sku":"9781467157728","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_fa55bad8-9be3-4f47-acfc-3f05ed9c2f18.jpg?v=1735626650","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/carolina-beach-music-compilation-albums-the-classics-9781467157728","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
