Description

The Beach Boys - SURFIN' SAFARI is a 1962 Mono LP release on the Capitol label # T-1808.  
The Beach Boys' debut album was recorded in an era in which little was expected of rock groups in the way of strong LP-length statements. The title track, their first true smash, is great, as is its flip side ("409"), which was not only a hit in its own right, but was the first vocal hot rod classic. "Surfin'," their debut single (and small national hit), is also good, and one of the few Beach Boys tracks that could be said to have a garage-like quality. Most of the other cuts are group originals. It does afford a glimpse of the group as they sounded when they were a true band in the studio, before most of their parts were played by session musicians. Two of the better cuts, "The Shift" and the instrumental "Moon Dawg," have a grittier-than-usual surf rock base that would flower on 1963 hits like "Surfin' U.S.A." 
The jacket, which is still in the shrink wrap, is in NM shape.  The record is in VG+ condition.
