Pipeline is a surf rock instrumental by The Chatays (credited as "Chantay's"), which was recorded and released in July 1962. The tune, originally called "Liberty's Whip" after The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, was renamed after the band members saw a surfing movie showing scenes of the Banzaii Pipeline in Hawaii. The record, fitting in with the popular surfing craze of the time, swiftly rose up the Billboard Pop charts, reaching number 4 and becoming a classic 1960s hit. The tune featured Alberti bass arpeggios. This 1963 reissued single is in Very Good condition.
