I honestly like England’s Newest Hitmakers better than Surfing Safari. That Surfing USA is an early 70s copy. (The stereo one of course) the Mono is indeed an original. You can tell if it’s an early press depending on if the album credits Brian Wilson for writing Surfing USA instead of Chuck Berry. That second All Summer Long is an early press because it says Don’t Break Down instead of Don’t Back Down. Just hearing you read the names of some of the songs reminds me The Beach Boys made some of the best and worst albums of all time.
If you can, get SMiLE. It’s expensive but it’s a different experience hearing it on vinyl.
Once I get all the albums I want from the Hollie’s I might consider buying it
