Title: Surfin Safari/409 Post by: wallabie on September 07, 2009, 07:24:30 AM Hi,
I have a question about the Single "Surfin Safari/409"... when the Single was released officialy, "409" was the A-Side, wasnīt it, and Surfin Safari was the B-Side. Correct? But I always thought, that they turned around the Single after a few weeks so that "Surfin Safari" was the A-Side... so does anyone know how it was? Unfortunaltely I donīt have the Single myself so I cannot look at the cover. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I don't know if that's any help.

happy birthday by the way ;D. I found the evidenz that Surfin Safari was A-Side on your Homepage, but in your book you wrote that "409" was the A-Side. So you might be the best man to tell me, because Íīm working on a beach boys disco for a project and I want to make it right. But I am not sure about Surfin Safari... :). What did happened in Phoenix? Thank you guys for your posts :) Cheerz |
