No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The Surfaris.

In the nearly four decades between the actual recording of “Wipe Out” and the Wall Street Journal‘s expose, The Surfaris’ Bob Berryhill estimated that he’d encountered dozens of people who claimed to have participated in that session. Much of this can be credited to the fact that the actual recording session is shrouded in obscurity. There were eight people in the studio when the song was written and recorded…By the time the city of Rancho Cucamonga honored the 30th anniversary of “Wipe Out” at the 1993 Grape Harvest Festival, the survivors could not agree on the date, the month, or even the year of the session. The only documentation was the original cancelled check written by Berryhill Sr. to pay for the session, which had lain buried in the files of the mountains of litigation that the record had spawned over the years.
