It’s not in perfect shape, but not bad. And it plays perfectly, been enjoying it! I really enjoy their renditions of This Whole World, Good Time and Awake.

I’m saving up for the box but couldn’t believe it when I saw this in the bins. Not even in the collectors case! Something must be in the air!

If this is a problem I need to know

I bought it because it's funny to own

This is not enough, and it never WILL be. I listen to every vinyl, cassette, CD, reel to reel, and 8 track at least 82 times a day. What are some good recommendations to expand my collection to keep my addition going and my life spiraling

(Forgot to picture Made In U.S.A 1986 CD and the reel to reels in first photo)

Can't believe my luck... scored this all around NM '83 Smile bootleg LP! It wasn't even something I was actively after but I just couldn't let this one slide. Very happy to have this unique version of my favourite Beach Boys record.
By far the most dissonant sounding version of Smile... but it was the first time the public ever got to hear some rough cuts from the greatest album never released. Total Beach Boys history right here!

It was practically a jumpscare. Was not expecting to see this at all. I had to get it.

I love Going Public for what it is. It’s certainly not the most ambitious thing, and there are objectively better Beach Boys solo albums. But Gary Usher’s production is incredible and I love Bruce’s voice, so I listen to it all the time anyways. This was such a score for me!

The record is in good shape and the original inner sleeve is still there, but the extra with the Bruce profile on it is long gone. I’m OK with that, though.

For the audiophiles and vinyl collectors out there, here's a great review of the new DSS One-Step from Capitol Records. Key takeaway is this was cut from the Reprise Tapes. https://trackingangle.com/features/the-definitive-sound-series-pet-sounds-one-step-will-be-the-best-sounding-version-ever-released

Hello everyone! So i recieved My Candix 45 today from the mail i was really excited Its my 1st Beach boys vinyl ever(at the moment!) I noticed like a Few Brown specks on the Grooves I'm not 100% sure what It is nor I Dont know if its Easily fixable or its going to be unplayable 🥹 If anyone Could tell me More information about What it is and Can it be cleaned professionally? I Dont trust myself attempting to clean it.. 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ I just hope it isn't deep into the Grooves The vinyl is VG btw! I'm very new to vinyl collecting so any advice would be helpful! :)

It’s so cool getting to hear Male Ego on vinyl since it was a CD exclusive bonus track for the full BB85 album. I love it!

The sleeve is in great shape and for only 10 bucks. Also happy 50th birthday 15 Big Ones.

My Boyfriend bought me my favorite and first ever later 60s Beach Boys album!! Got any favorite tracks off this album? Ive always really liked the B sides off this album like “Anna Lee, The Healer”

Great $5 find today! It's super fun to hear all the boys live in concert, and Mike singing the Monster Mash is such a trip😂 I had no idea this record even existed until I found it in the store, but I'm very happy with it. I'm pretty sure the faces are cut-outs from the 20/20 album cover, no?

I am a pretty new Beach Boys fan, the only albums I've listened too in full are Holland and Pet Sounds but they were both absolutely incredible.

Found this at an antique shop in my town, their rock section has thousands of vinyls and I spent nearly an hour looking for one specific album, Holland. I unfortunately didn't find it but I did find this one which I will listen too on my my next study session.

Still has the seal on it, only $45

I was visiting the Bay Area to see Al in Livermore, and I stopped by the Counterculture Museum while I was there. It made me laugh to see this thing, out of all choices, being the album on display for The Beach Boys! Not a studio album or even what I’d call a mainline compilation like Endless Summer or Spirit of America, but this weird Beach Boys and Jan & Dean combo compilation I have never seen before. If I were to include a Beach Boys album at this museum, I probably would’ve picked Smiley Smile.

To be clear, I still loved the museum. Visiting Haight-Ashbury was very healing to me as someone reconnecting with his inner 12-year-old flower child after trying desperately to conform to societal standards for years and eventually failing. But I found this a bit funny.

Condition isn’t the best, but how could I resist? I very rarely see Beach Boys records at the thrift store. Probably will look out for a better condition copy, but for now, I’ll enjoy scratchy Lonely Sea.

My aunt had a couple hundred records in storage that she decided to part with, and knowing I’m a lover and collector of vinyl, gave all of them to me. As I was rifling through them, I found these copies of early Beach Boys records that are seemingly signed by the members. All first pressings. According to her, she saw them live in 64 and got their signatures after the show.

It comes bundled with Pet Sounds
