The Beach Boys - Surfin' Safari - LP - Signed by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Al Jardine & Mike Love
The Beach Boys - Surfin' Safari LP - Signed by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Al Jardine & Mike Love
This is a very rare album...the Beach Boy's first LP!...which has been signed by four of the five original band members. Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Al Jardine & Mike Love signed this 1972 special re-issue of their 1962 debut album (they had previously released two singles). Unfortunately brother Dennis Wilson passed away in 1983, prior to us having this album signed. The Surfin' Safari album was re-issued in '72 featuring re-engineered sound which took the original mono recordings into synthesized stereo sound. The signatures have been AAU certified, and the album comes with an AAU sticker (on the lower right corner of the front cover), along with a matching serial number COA. We have also included a Silver Screen Collectibles COA, which (like all of our autographed items) provides a lifetime warranty on the authenticity of the signatures. Those with a keen eye may even notice that this item is currently located, and will be shipped from, the home of the Beach Boys ...Hawthorne, CA.
Condition:
Very Good too Fine - There is a small amount of cracking on the lower edge of the jacket. On the reverse, there are a few small crease marks/lines and a 1" section of surface paper loss (most likely a piece of tape made contact and was pulled off, the back cover). There are also several scratches on the vinyl itself (admittedly grading vinyl is not in our wheel house).
Please check the included image(s) closely to assist you in your purchasing decision.

Description
The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961. The group’s original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine. Distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early surf songs, they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era.[1] The band drew on the music of jazz-based vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and black R&B to create their unique sound, and with Brian as composer, arranger, producer, and de facto leader, they often incorporated classical or jazz elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways.
One of the first self-contained rock groups, the Beach Boys began as a garage band led by Brian and managed by the Wilsons’ father Murry. In 1963, the group gained national prominence with a string of top-ten singles reflecting a southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance, dubbed the “California sound”. They were one of the few American rock bands to sustain their commercial standing during the British Invasion. From 1965, they abandoned beachgoing themes for more personal lyrics and ambitious orchestrations. In 1966, the Pet Sounds album and “Good Vibrations” single raised the group’s prestige as rock innovators. After scrapping the unfinished album Smile in 1967, Brian’s contributions diminished due to his mental health issues.
In the late 1960s, the group’s commercial momentum faltered in the US, and despite efforts to maintain an experimental sound, they were widely dismissed by the early rock music press. Carl also took over as the band’s musical leader, with records from this period later enjoying a cult following among fans. Following the mid-1970s, as their concerts drew greater audience numbers, the band transitioned into an oldies act. Dennis drowned in 1983 and Brian soon became estranged from the group. Between the 1990s and 2000s, the members filed numerous lawsuits against each other. Following Carl’s death from lung cancer in 1998, the group and its corporation (Brother Records Inc.) granted Love legal rights to tour as “the Beach Boys”. As of 2020, Brian and Jardine do not perform with Love’s Beach Boys, but remain official members of the band.
The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful bands of all time, with over 100 million records sold worldwide. Between the 1960s and 2010s, the group had over 80 songs chart worldwide, 36 of them in the US Top 40 (the most by a US rock band), and four topping the Billboard Hot 100.[1] Their influence on other artists spans musical genres and movements such as psychedelia, power pop, progressive rock, punk, alternative, and lo-fi. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the Beach Boys number 12 on its list of the greatest artists of all time. The core quintet of the three Wilsons, Love, and Jardine was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

with your wish list. We'll search our inventory and list the item for you, as quickly as possible. Most of the items in our collection/inventory are vintage "one of a kind" (to us) pieces, so the item you see online is the actual item you'll receive. Since vintage movie posters/lobby cards can be 50, 60, 70+ years old, they can often be faded or become slightly brittle from heat/sun exposure, have pin holes. minor stains, or tears/fold separation in them...and will seldom look like "new/made yesterday" items.
We do our best to highlight the condition of each item, and identify any out of the ordinary issues. In some cases, we will have more than one image, so please be sure to review each of them while you are carefully reading the description. In the case of posters, it is often easier to spot issues from the back, since there are no graphics or coloring to mask them. Whenever possible (and if there is a reason to), we will include an image of the back of posters for your review. Please keep in mind that not all imperfections you see on the back are noticeable (or matter) on the front. If you would like any further information on any item, please don't hesitate to

Very Fine –
Mainly reserved for items that look almost like they did when they originally arrived at a theater. In many cases this class of item may never have been displayed.
Fine –
An excellent example with only very minor issues, like a small corner bump.
Very Good –
Displays very well, but may contain corner pin holes, very light staining/soiling, light/small creases, corner bumps…overall no major issues.
Good –
Displays well, but may have issues such as multiple pin/tack/staple holes, small creases, noticeable corner or edge wear, minor discoloration, ¼”- ½” tear in the edge of a border, or small pieces of tape/tape residue.
Fair –
Posters that could have significant damage, which in some cases may not be glaringly obvious or visually a major issue. Condition could include several inch clean tears, which do not detract from the main image, or small sections of border missing.
Poor –
This is our lowest rating, and represents items that have major damage including, but not limited to, long tears (which may or may not be taped on the front or reverse), missing pieces of the paper, severe staining, etc.
Note:
We do not reference the overused grade of “mint”, as this is the most subjective of all grades. Some people may feel that a “mint” item has to be absolutely (and often unrealistically) perfect, when in fact extremely small issues like a spec/dot or minor print error that was originally printed on the item could make the item less than “perfect”. We sell vintage items, some of which could be 100 years or more old, so it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to find an absolutely perfect/looks like it was made yesterday, 80 year old piece of paper.
Our Terminology
In our effort to provide as detailed and accurate condition descriptions as possible, we try to use consistent terminology (some of which may be common/standard, and others we may have developed on our own).
Chip –
A small (typically ¼"- ½”) piece of paper missing…most often from a corner.
Corner Bump –
This is very minor damage to the corner points, where it looks like something “bumped into” the corner, making it no longer perfectly square. The corner may be slightly turned under, but all paper would still be in place.
Crease –
A paper item that has damage from being folded (either accidentally, or on purpose). This can refer to a corner that has been “bent” (not torn), multiple small lines on a border (typically from rough handing or poor storage). In some cases we may note that a lobby card has “vertical and horizontal creases”*, which means that at some point the card was folded top to bottom and side to side (quartered). *We have several lobby cards that unfortunately have this sort of damage. This was most likely the result of a particular theater folding the cards up after use, to prevent re-use or simply their process when discarding them.
Edge Wear –
The border/outside edges of a paper item has minor damage, typically causing the line of the edge to no longer be perfectly flat/straight. In many cases, depending on the degree of wear, this condition is barely noticeable.
Paper Loss –
Some amount of the physical paper is missing, causing a hole or some amount of an edge to be missing.
Rippling –
Typically caused by exposure to moisture of some sort, which has caused the paper to no longer lay perfectly flat.
Soiling –
This is the appearance of dirt on the front surface of a paper item.
Staining –
This is a physical stain from water or some other liquid.
Scuff –
A mark on the front surface of a paper item, which does not break the paper surface. Typically caused by something brushing over the surface leaving some sort of residual marking.
Scratch –
A mark on the front surface of a paper item, which may/does break the surface of the paper. Typically caused by something sharp running across the surface.
