Title: Can you identify this cover?
Post by: SloopJohnB on February 17, 2007, 08:53:28 AM
On this site (http://pages.cthome.net/tobelman/page05.htm (http://pages.cthome.net/tobelman/page05.htm)), I found this picture:

Does anyone know if this was used as a cover for a Beach Boys disc? A compilation, or maybe a bootleg? Thanks!  :)

to promote the pet sounds box set that was due at that time. the box set got delayed yet again but sub pop & cmj went ahead and released their stuff. around this time a "few" copies of the box set were also sent out by capitol and those were traded by collectors long before the box set was officially released.
here is a copy of a story about this from esq issue for june-july 1996. couple of sub pop items and about the box set being delayed.
