Beach Boys Contest

If you finished the Beach Boys story in this issue — or even if you didn’t — you probably have churned up thousands of Beach memories yourself. Or at least dozens, or hundreds. Hopefully, at least ten or twenty.

The following ain’t a quiz, exactly. It’s sort of ... well, it’s not a test, either. What it really is . . . is . . is . . . well, remember all those Surfin’ Safari albums people sent to Warner Bros, to get new copies of Surf’s Up with? The folks at Warner Bros, gave us 25 of them (actually, they gave us 50 but between their truly wrecked condition, and CREEM’s famous oldies thieves, we only have 25 usable ones for the auction . .. er . .. uh .. . giveaway) and threw in 10 copies of the new one, Carl and the Passions/Pet Sounds to sweeten the deal. So there are 25 prizes: the first ten get a scratchy copy of Surfin’ Safari and Carl and the Passions/Pet Sounds; the next fifteen only get Surfin ’ Safari.
