Notes

The first Beach Boys single was released on this obscure small label from Johannesburg. It would turn out to be the only one. The mixes presented here are the same as the German Surfin' Safari / Luau single.

A: (Guild) Vally [sic] Music

This single is identical to the German Ariola release ! I just compared both singles a-sides, and the version of Surfin' Safari is also the mono mix (done by Hite Morgan) of the stereo overdub attempt on take 6, recorded February 8th 1962.
