Sneakers & Lace
Skateboardin’ USA was released in 1978 by a “band” called Sneakers & Lace. My guess is that it was just some producer’s project designed to cash in on a fad. Instead of just doing a single, they really ran with it. Where are the skateboard novelty songs of today? Oh yeah, that’s right. You can find three Sneakers & Lace skateboard tracks on the excellent compilation This Is Skateboard Music, or you can listen to Sidewalk Convoy and Skate Talk, (both non compilation tracks) after the jump. look at the cover and think 1978… It’s going to be excellent!

Whoa thats funny i have this album sitting right next to me
Hah! I found that record in a used bin 15 years ago and bought it just to have. Is it worth anything on ebay!?
I don’t think so. I just bough a never opened copy online for $10.
it’s only value is found when spinning at 33 1/3 rpm’s
My God… I won this album in a frisbee contest in the 70s. I wondered if anyone else on the planet knew about it. The LPs that I won were all promotional records. I guess the radio station that was sponsoring the contest needed to clean house.
THIS ALBUM WAS ALSO AVALIBLE IN THE UK, WHEN I WAS A KID IN THE 70S
That song is totally trying to ride the heels of the “Convoy” movie/song of that same year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5RI30RJIPk
