Know nothing about these guys but sure someone here does, tracked down their album after hearing this.

Tribute to my favourite band The Searchers

I know nothing about the band, but saw the guitar of the sleeve in a lingerie add the other day!

I love instrumentals - I liked it!

They were created and produced by the late great surf drummer Richard Delvy.
From the net:
'In the long-standing tradition of surf and hot rod instrumental ringers of the 1960s, the Clee-Shays weren't really a group, but rather a studio concoction put together by Challengers drummer/producer/mover and shaker Richard Delvy to cash in on the Japanese secret agent/spy music market made popular by Al Caiola and others. Utilizing Ed Fournier, John Anderson and Bob Edwards on alternating lead guitars, Buzz Carre on bass, and Delvy alternating with Larry Brown on drums, the group ground out albums in session after anonymous session. This 20-track collection cherry-picks the best tracks from their various Japanese albums, with Fournier's originals counting for seven of the selections and spirited covers of "Beyond," "Theme From The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," "Thunderball" and "Get Smart" also spicing up the mix. As surf-instrumental-type music goes, this is great, ultra-rare stuff, and well worth the listen. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide "

Los Straitjackets do a VOCAL version of "Bumble Bee" with Mike Campbell as guest vocalist. Love that song!
