I'd rather look at Holly Sonders.   Grin

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

How could you really NOT know?  I told you it had to exist, and I was checking every copy to find one.
Can't believe you got this from Ebay without my seeing it....    (Checking back:   this is what happens when one lets family get in the way of collecting.)

STILL, what most folks want to know: why you have so many photos of Holly Sonders' butt and crotch!!

Is there anything else special/interesteing about the Smiley Smile record club release?   I just happened on one for very cheap, compared to what I have seen them priced/valued.   I assume it's the same as the normal stereo release (phased instead of duophonic?)  How does it sound?  Most people seem to instantly dismiss just about any SS LP other than the 80's mono RI.

Yep, it's the same audio as the Brother "stereo" release.  The value is really just in the novelty of Smiley Smile being on the Capitol Rainbow label (and apparently a few on the green Capitol label), instead of the Brother label.  But if you can find one for around $50 (or less) you should be able to make a quick flip on eBay and make some money.

Thanks,  it was actually about $26,  on the lower end of the condition spectrum, but I'm a user and not so much a collector,  but I have been wanting a non 2-fer smiley smile LP.

Yeah, I'd say if you're not buying as a collectible, you might be better off buying one of the standard Brother label issues that constantly show up on EBay; and I presume in stores

Rainbow, Capitol ST-8-2891

Smiley Smile on the Capitol black/rainbow label, Capitol ST-8-2891. Bought it VG++ from a hippy at a Guerneville Ca. used record store. Most of his albums were 5 bucks each. He said, "I have to charge a little more for that one because it's rare". Instead of laughing or saying "Duh", I quickly handed him $8.00 cash and walked fast out the door. It's one of my prized vinyl records.

Awesome,  I'm excited to get it,  may hold onto it until I get a Green label Mono RP and maybe try to get a little money to go towards my Dual repair.

Well, it has arrived.  The Cover has some clear tape along the bottom (not noticeable in a passing glance but goes along the entire bottom.  The top is split along with about 1/4 of the spine.  Other than that the vinyl itself is in fantastic condition I'd say. a couple pops here and there, cleaned up real well though.  I do think it sounds quite better than my WB 2-fer, but gonna have to wait for my main turntable to arrive to really decide.  Overall couldn't be happier with my purchase.

 My Oh My!!  On a Whim, stopped at a FYE store today to check and see if they would have anything for me.
BOY was I ever happily surprised:  

    


No cover, but the vinyl is Minty
And to make it more perfecter: Buy one get one 1/2 off on used. I only bought one, and the register still gave me 1/2 off, so I got it for $4.35

out saling today, picked up this Capitol Club various artists LP, with the BBs We Three Kings as one of the tracks. A Club Exclusive 2 Record Set, # SWBB 93810.  

    

    

went to file this away and found I have another copy with a different label and catalog prefix:

Wow Chris - That's awesome!  Now I would go pay the $30-$35 on you will need to pay on eBay to get a rainbow CRC TODAY! with a beat-up record, ditch the record, and pair the green label with a cover -- and you'll have a $150 record.  

Great score!

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591
