Unless it's photoshoped it must be an import reissue.

Well I found it on eBay. So thats why I wasnt sure. I mean theres been other instances of this sort of thing. Ie: In London 66 DVD with a picture of them from 64. Obviously that was fixed with the later issue though...

And the "Live In London" LP from '68 issued (originally) with a photo from '70, and reissued later on MFP with a photo from '73 (with Blondie and Ricky).

I have no idea of the track listing. I just figured it was a re-issue. And I remember the page saying that it was a "New Zealand version". Im sure the eBay item is long gone unless the person has put it on there again.

It's a little sick that I know this level of detail- but the cover photo was taken at the Milwaukee Popfest in the Summer of 1970.  Keith Badman's book is missing this show. The Preiss book mentions it and has that photo.  I have ads and a review of the show

Although I've never seen this version, I'm guessing it's a 70s reissue, and most likely an import.  Note that it uses the Capitol logo which was introduced around early 1970 and was used throughout the 70s.  Also, this same cover photo was used by Capitol US for the cover of the early 1971 reissue of Shut Down Vol 2, which was retitled Fun Fun Fun.

Why use a 1970 photo for a 1964 concert?  In the 70s the Beach Boys circa 1964 short hair look was no longer cool.  That's why 1974's Endless Summer used cartoon style drawings of the band with long hair, even though it contained early to mid-60s hits.  Using photos of the band (especially on the cover) from the original era of the Endless Summer songs would have made them look totally uncool in the 70s.

WOKY in the background, was a top 40 radio station in Milwaukee, WI. They still exist although I don't know what format they are playing today. So the concert was in Milwaukee, most likely at the old Milwaukee County Stadium, home of the now departed Milwaukee Braves.
