“Blues Theme” is arguably the most famous track by Davie Allan & the Arrows. It was recorded quickly on Mike Curb’s Tower label for the soundtrack to the move Wild Angels — Peter Fonda’s first biker flick and just before Easy Rider. With wild, screaming fuzz guitar and a surf beat, it signifies the sound of the L.A. Strip in 1967 and embodies — in its two-minutes-and-ten-seconds — all the cultural elements of its soundtrack — the waning surf scene that traveled it, the muscle cars that roared through its lanes, the dawn of acid-crazed hippies floating down it, and the speed-drenched outlaw biker tribes who haunted it. The rest of the album is a literal pastiche of tracks that were issued under other names, slightly doctored for and from other soundtracks — there were seven between the Arrows’ first album, Apache ’65, and Blues Theme — or simply renamed. These include “King Fuzz,” an instrumental remake of “The Twirl” by Harley Hatcher; “Theme from the Unknown,” which had several names in earlier releases on 45 rpm’s, and “Fuzz Theme,” that was later re-titled “The Young World,” for the soundtrack to Teen Rebellion.
