Title: Child of Winter single on e-bay Post by: Jay on April 26, 2012, 01:01:29 AM I just recently found a Beach Boys single of Child of Winter, on the "Randy Records" label. Is this real, or a pirate/boot? I have never heard of a label called Randy Records. http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-BEACH-BOYS-CHILD-OF-WINTER-GOOD-VIBRATIONS-LIVE-RANDY-/180865926052?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item2a1c7303a4

I didn't hear it until I began to trade cassette tapes around 1994. I did finally find it some of the classic vinyl boots I scored some time later. I have the excellent 1998 single but still don't have a 1974 pressing.

The Kenny and The Cadets single "Barbie" was on Randy Records. But the "Child Of Winter" single is a boot, of course or - to quote the seller - a fan club issue. Title: Re: Child of Winter single on e-bay Post by: Jay on April 26, 2012, 01:31:13 AM I've read about how the original single is supposed to be exceedingly rare and next to impossible to find, and the price seemed kind of to good to be true, so I had to ask. ;D

Title: Re: Child of Winter single on e-bay Post by: gxios on April 26, 2012, 04:08:26 AM The Randy pressing is from 1977. It was put out after that alternate take of Good Vibrations surfaced. I don't think the Child of Winter 45 should be hard to find. I have at least 3 permutations of it (Reprise label, Brother label, mono/stereo promo) that I got off ebay for less than $10 over the years. For a record you could not find in the stores even when it was released (I tried ordering it from a big record chain in January 1975 and was told it was already not available) there seem to be a lot of stock copies around.
