On this day in 1965 {March 24th} the Trade Winds performed "New York's a Lonely Town" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!'...At the time the song was at #49 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; twenty-four days earlier on February 28th, 1965 it had peaked at #32 {for 2 weeks} and spent 8 weeks on the Top 100...The group had one other Top 100 record, "Mind Excursion", it reached #51 in 1966 and stayed on the Top 100 for 9 weeks...R.I.P.

i remember this being played on KRLA. Orange County, CA. My mom was so into the music scene then, knew all the dj's that were on from '63-72. I have found so many songs from that era online it blows me away. I love it!

Not in '63. If you were a surfer and had a board people stared like you were from another planet. NOBODY surfed.

Robert McArthur

I love this song, but obviously these guys never lived in NYC. There IS surfing here. Rockaway Beach in Queens has TWO surfing beaches. A short drive to Long Beach, Long Island brings more surfing waves. And let's not forget the surfing capital of the northeast! Montauk!!!!!

I had this album when it first came out. It was a coveted album to have in your collection because it was from KRLA, had so many great songs, and especially because of the bitchen album cover. When Up Up and Away by the Fifth Dimension was popular KRLA did a similar dubbing where at the end of the song when they keep repeating up up and away they would say "up up and awaaayyyy, K R L AAAYYY. I remember it was a very hot summer in LA that year, and KRLA did one of their many promotion stints by dropping balloons from helicopters that would float down and if you were a lucky listener that spotted one and grabbed it inside was a note naming which prize you could claim by bringing it in to the studio.Prizes like transistor radios and KRLA albums. This album was called "Son of " for two reasons. It was actually volume 2 of the first KRLA 21 Solid Rocks. And because at that time old classic monster movies were very popular such as Son of Kong and Son of Frankenstein. I wore out my original copy, and then lucked out and found another clean copy at a Drive-in swap meet in LA.

What a very cool and rare version of a great track.In the sixties,it was common for a band or an artist to do a custom version of a song for a specific radio station or a DJ.

1965--I remember the year and this version well. Not only was it the year that I graduated, but it was the time when KRLA was king of teen radio, having toppled KFWB. Music was still fun and not yet serious. KRLA (actually their deejay, Bob Eubanks) took the lead in "bringing/presenting" the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl and I had tickets to see them. KHJ (Boss Radio) was the newcomer in May of that year and would fiercely compete for young listeners. Above the Hollywood Bowl, where the KRLA deejays, like Charlie O'Donnell, Casey Kasem, Dave Hull and Bob Eubanks were promoting Radio 11-10 before introducing the Beatles, there was a circling blimp. It tried to steal KRLA's thunder by displaying "93 KHJ welcomes the Beatles to Boss Angeles". Bob Eubanks then mocked the upstart station by telling the audience to ignore the commotion by the station that hasn't yet received its fourth letter. (By the way, the spoken voice in the record does not sound like Dick Moreland, nor any other KRLA deejay).

I actually won something one summer on KRLA - - - they sent me the 45 of Jumpin Jack Flash before it was even actually released - - - - wow, what memories - - - -

I grew up in Hollywood - riding my bicycle around with my transister of course tuned in to KRLA or KHJ or back in those days even KFWB (before they went all news). Until finding this gem here, I had thought that I must've been dreaming (about the KRLA version) sure glad to know that it was for real and not just my imagination - thanks for posting - love this song, but it's even better with the KRLA part - - - -

George Vreeland Hill

I grew up in New York and now live in Los Angeles. Yes, NY is a lonely town when you are the only surfer boy. George Vreeland Hill
