COLLECTION WORTHY!!!

Hard to find so clean ...Original 1963 first pressing in glorious MONO of the second BEACH BOYS album::::

Includes the original printed Capitol inner sleeve that was released with the album

Surfer Girl the third studio album by The Beach Boys and their second lalbum to be released in 1963. This was the first album by The Beach Boys for which Brian Wilson was given full production credit, a position Wilson would maintain until the end of the Smile sessions in 1967. Surfer Girl hit #7 in the US during a chart stay of 56 weeks.

Brian Wilson himself turns in some of his most cherished songs. The title track, a #7 US hit, was the first song Brian had ever composed, at the age of 19, using "When You Wish Upon A Star" as a guide while writing it. As a ballad, it was a risky move for a single, but its obvious quality overcame any potential commercial risks. Its flip-side, "Little Deuce Coupe", proved to be The Beach Boys' most successful B-side, reaching US #15 and becoming a hot rod staple. It also continued the band's current trend of putting a surf-related song on the A-side of singles, and car songs on the B-side. "Catch a Wave" (an obvious single that never was) featured Mike Love's sister, Maureen, on harp, while "The Surfer Moon" was the first Beach Boys song to have a string arrangement. "In My Room" was perhaps Brian Wilson's first personal song, a reflection on having a place to go to feel a sense of security and safety from the stress of one's life. It was clear that Surfer Girl was a giant step forward for The Beach Boys - and the first of many.

"South Bay Surfer" is co-credited to Al Jardine, who had recently rejoined The Beach Boys in the summer of 1963.
