THE BEACH BOYS - Holland

Item Description

Vinyl,
LP Album Mispress Repress Stereo

Although uncredited on sleeve and label:
Unlike the German first press [r2737293], side A starts with "Steamboat"; the credited Track 1 "Sail On Sailor" is missing; instead "We Got Love" is the last track on side A.

Only this German repress is believed to have used this withdrawn master which was rejected by the label because it didn’t boast a potential hit single.

Depending on which source you are following, there were between 300 and 500 copies pressed before the WEA noticed the mistake. These copies can only be identified via their runout grooves.

Runouts are etched except for "Manufactured in Germany" which is stamped.

Both LP and 7'' have the same cat#. This release includes a lyric sheet. The 7'' comes in a printed art sleeve.

On back sleeve:
This album includes one 12 inch and one 7 inch, 33 1/3 rpm disc or one and one-half long playing records.
Recorded in Baambrugge, The Netherlands, using a new Clover Systems custom quadrophonic console...
All equipment was designed specially for this project by Brother Records in Los Angeles, then flown to Holland for this recording.
