Description
UP FOR SALE IS AN ULTRA RARE COPY OF THE BEACH BOYS FIRST SINGLE EVER!
ASIDE FROM “SURFIN’” B/W “LUAU” BEING THE BEACH BOYS’ FIRST SINGLE, THIS IS THEIR FIRST RECORD RELEASED OUTSIDE THE USA!
RELEASED ON LONDON RECORDS IN 1962, THIS RECORD CAME ALONG AT A TIME WHEN THE BEACH BOYS WERE STILL RELATIVELY UNKNOWN IN THE USA AND EVEN LESSER KNOWN INTERNATIONALLY WITH THE SURF CRAZE OF THE EARLY 1960s AT IT’S ABSOLUTE INFANCY.
IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT THIS RELEASE RIVALS THE RARITY OF CANDIX 331 AND THE X LABEL RELEASES OF THIS SINGLE.
THE VINYL GRADES AT G+ WITH MISCELLANEOUS WEAR AND SCUFFS ON BOTH SIDES (AS PICTURED) WITH THE SURFIN’ SIDE PLAYING BETTER THAN IT VISUALLY LOOKS. THERE IS A MINOR CHIP I WAS ABLE TO PHOTOGRAPH THAT IS HARD TO NOTICE BUT WORTH MENTIONING. BOTH LABELS LOOK GREAT WITH A NUMBER 27 WRITTEN ON BOTH SIDES AND THE ORIGINAL COMPANY SLEEVE HAS SMALL TARES IN THE FOLD AS PICTURED.
ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK, THANK YOU!
