This vinyl LP by The Beach Boys titled "Surf's Up" is a must-have for any pop and rock music enthusiast. With a release year of 1971, this pressing has a catalog number of RS 6453 and features original inner sleeve, lyric insert, and cover.
Note: All records I list are from my personal archive.
They have been shelved upright in a clean, cool dry environment. Attempts to capture a clear photo of the record condition has proved fruitless. Because of this, I'm grading on the low end to assure the buyer the best accurate description for the most enjoyable listening experience. Sound quality is excellent and playback flawless unless otherwise stated in description.
*The record is in very good VG to VG+ condition with many superficial surface scuffs and hairline marks. There is underlying light surface noise throughout but does not detract from the listening experience. Labels are in VG+ condition with many light spindle markings. The cover is in G condition with definite ring/shelf wear, a seam split across the top edge, a 5" bottom seam split, writing in blue ink on upper front right corner area and the name Mike on back bottom left in black marker. The paper inner sleeve grading is G with seam tears on all sides. The fold-out printed lyric insert is in G+ condition.
