Title: Signature Question
Post by: picassosson on November 06, 2010, 09:17:05 AM
Don't know if this is in the right forum - but I found a 12" blue vinyl Here Comes The Night promo in a box of records at a thrift shop. Its apparently signed by four Beach Boys. (Brian, Mike, Alan, and who?) In the box was a ton of other promotional records from Epic/CBS/Columbia. They were mostly unplayed, and looked like they sat in some employee's storage unit for the last 30 years. Can anyone help me identify/confirm the signatures? Considering the company it was found in, I doubt its a fake. And really - who the hell would fake four random Beach Boy signatures on a Here Comes The Night Disco 12" single?

Looks VERY similar to the one I have, and I know mine's legit. This is one that they evidently signed a LOT of copies.

Well since its Here Comes The Night we're talking about I'd say its not a long shot to say
that the curly signature belongs to Bruce...

Yeah, I figured it's probably Bruce. Brian was the Wilson just going along for the ride I guess...

I'm pretty sure the fourth signature is Carl. I think I remember reading somewhere a very long time ago that Bruce went on record as NOT having signed those discs, as he wasn't officially a Beach Boy again at that time, only the group's producer.

The fourth signature is Carl's. For one thing, "Bruce" doesn't start with a "C".  :)

CaBRuce, kind of like the end of a train, I think.
