1977 Japanese Capitol Records/Toshiba-EMI label 12-track stereo LP - a reissue of Hawthorne, Ca., surf and sunshine pop combos 4rth album originally issued in 1963.

Vinyl has the generic reddish orange company labels with lower large fonted, olive company name.

Vinyl comes complete with 4-page illustrated booklet with lyrics in japanese and English - evrything held in a back pasted picture cover with intact 'The Beach Boys' OBI-strip.

Condition: M- (Vinyl)/VG++ (Labels)/M- (Booklet)/VG++ (Cover)/M- (OBI-strip):

Vinyl is supremely bright and shiny - has no signs of handling or play what so ever.
Side 1 label has a couple og thin cracks from centrehole - an often seen, minor manufacturing defect - hence the near perfect label grading. Please check the label scan and simply do not buy this copy if you disagree onthe grading of the labels. Labels are otherwise free from signs of handling or play and vinyl is overall conservatively graded near mint.

Boolet is 'as new', cover has a single extremely thin and simple mid-front crease - otherwise without signs of handling or storage - OBI mint. A simply extremely nice copy.
