Description

Before surf rock conquered America, Sweden's The Spotnicks were already blasting instrumental guitar music into the stratosphere.

Originally released in 1962, Guitars From Out-A Space captures the band at the height of their futuristic appeal. Known for performing in space suits and combining twangy guitars with a science-fiction aesthetic, The Spotnicks helped pave the way for countless instrumental bands that followed. Their clean guitar tones, melodic arrangements, and pioneering spirit earned them international success and a lasting place in instrumental music history.

This collection features some of the band's most beloved recordings, including Orange Blossom Special, The Rocket Man, The Spotnick's Theme, and Amapola, along with several bonus tracks.

Whether you're a longtime fan of instrumental guitar music or exploring the roots of surf and space-age rock, this is an essential piece of the story.

Pressed on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl and presented in a factory-sealed package.

Why We Carry It
