Title: Cool, Cool Water 45rpm Single Post by: Shane on March 13, 2009, 11:11:21 PM About six months ago, a record collector friend of mine (who isn't much into 45s) let me go through a mini-storage he purchased on the cheap. There were thousands upon thousands of 45s in there. I found some nice stuff, but I halfway ignored a Beach Boys Brother label single that I put in my stack to take. I figured it wasn't any big deal, just something I picked up to fill a hole in my collection.
I just realized the other night that this single, Cool Cool Water/Forever, is the rarest Brother label 45, sometimes fetching over $300. What's the deal with this 45? I know that Beach Boys singles weren't selling well circa 1970, but there are quite a few others (such as the Add Some Music 45) that are worth only five bucks or so.

Cool, Cool, Water didn't hit and thus most of the copies were promos. I think because of the short mix it's also more valued by collectors.
