The Beach Boys - Endless Summer - Vinyl Double LP - Mint/Near Mint - Unplayed. Capitol Records - SVBB-11307 - 1974 - Retail - with the rare Endless Summer poster 1974 Santa Maria pressing. Cover has some minor wear.

"Endless Summer" is a 1974 collection of their 1963-1966 material (all but one cut predating "Pet Sounds"). The compilation displays a number of oddities, including the inclusion of album versions of "Be True To Your School", "Help Me Ronda", and "Fun, Fun, Fun" instead of the hit-single versions, a difference which is subtle in the last case, but more prominent in the first two. Initial pressings of this album contained a poster depicting an airplane flying a Beach Boys banner. The cover artwork reflected the Beach Boys' seventies appearance.

This is from my personal collection, acquired while working for the Record Bar chain in the 70's & 80's.  I have tried to describe each LP as accurately as possible and encourage you to examine each of the pictures carefully.  Questions are welcomed.  Please keep in mind these are first and foremost 35+ year old collector's items, and that vinyl LPs of that time were commodities, produced quickly, bulk shipped and racked.  Most that I offer for sale were either promos, second copies or just acquired to collect.  Many of the LPs without shrinkwrap were either "cleans" received from label reps as promotional quid pro quos or imports that were not originally shrinked.  Promos are (mostly) marked with stamps, sawcuts or labels and will be noted as such and are mostly first pressings. These have been stored in a temperature controlled room in repurposed record store LP storage browsers.

Securely Shipped in custom mailer, with sealed bubble wrap envelope via USPS Media Mail. Items paid from by 3PM EST/EDT are usually shipped same day
