Title: Honk - The Original Sound Track From Five Summer Stories
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1972, Soundtrack, Surf Rock, Laguna Beach, California 5/26
Matrix #: GR-7720
Condition: EX (VZ) | Members: N/A
Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle: Honk recorded the soundtrack for a reported $1,500 fee, a very real low-budget surf-film setup before the record became part of California beach culture.
-
Scene Ecology: Five Summer Stories tied the band directly to early ’70s surf cinema, with Laguna Beach, Hawaii, and the surf-film circuit carrying the music outside normal radio routes.
-
Life After Music: Tris Imboden later became Chicago’s drummer from 1990 to 2018, giving this small surf soundtrack a strange link to massive adult-contemporary arena history.
