i have a large beach boy collection. it long ago took over my home. i have things boxed up and stored everywhere. last week i stumbled upon a large box with about 200 or so tapes in it, interviews-concerts-and the like. i found this tape of pacific ocean blue that i long ago forgot i had.
this was sent to me BEFORE pob was released on record. i will not name any names but they were at brother. the tape is a copy of pob on cassette tape. it is labeled as 5/26/77. i got this in early june, so yes i had pob for about 2 & 1/2 months before it was "out". here is what i remember being told, but not totally sure because it has been almost 30 yrs ago. i was told brother hosted a "listening" party for the lp. a few copies were made and passed out. the lp then came out a little later. i have sent copies of the labels so you can see what i am talking about. a "brother" sticker with address and phone number has been pasted over the maxell tape label. i aslo sent along a pic of the typed label.
anyway, this is how i remember it. may be wrong though. anyone ever see a copy of pob like this before. i haven't. if anyone can provide info i would appreciate it.
thanks
