Definitely in the Beach Boys. Songs like this and "Don't Worry Baby" among many others. But there was also a strong rock n roll influence to many Beach Boys songs, notably Chuck Berry.

A perfect choice Joey. A standout among so many beautiful Beach Boys songs. Brian Wilson really was operating on another level. Genius.

Definitely James Bond, Hotbeats, Warlocks and Hard Times deserve the top level of rarity. The Shakles has been very hard to find for me. However I am virtually retired from collecting at this stage, so I haven't been looking really. Knoll Allen might need to be up with the rare batch. Maybe I...

Well done finding 2 copies! The Pseudos has never been on eBay or Popsike, never been sold on Discogs and only one owner claimed on Discogs. Maybe that's you Frank? By contrast there are 17 claiming an original Keggs, and 14 claiming an original Aztex. Some of those possibly may be reissues...

Definitely BFTG 9 and 10 contain some extremely rare and great ones.

I'm very out of touch, but it used to be impossible for many years. Other than DW's copy* I never saw one for sale and it has still never been for sale on eBay or Discogs to this day. Facebook groups and private sales? I would not have a clue, and if there has been a quantity found, I'm unaware...

Second hardest 45 to find on the entire original Back from The Grave series Vols 1-8

The words and screams are in the same places mostly, but the words are not 100% English. That points to AI, or a re-recording of the vocals at least. If it is AI, they probably did a stem split of the Wailers track first, then fed the stems into AI separately, then re-combined the AI vocal and...

Very weird. It will be interesting to hear the truth about this. It does not quite add up, either as an acetate or as AI.

The Barons "Live And Die" has the best lyrics. It's an all-round killer. "If you just stay out of my life, everything will be all right"

Some great shots! Thanks Mr. Morloch.

Great! I give "Who Can It Be" 5 and Politician's war 6. "Who Can It Be" was on the way to a 6, but the extended breaks and solos got a bit tedious. Still, a very original and interesting track.

Don't despair. I have owned 3 copies (upgrades) over the years - g+ / vg / ex . A friend told me he knows of 5 copies in collections. They are out there.

My friend needs a copy of The Marksmen "Moonshine" on Enterprise and he's getting tired of waiting for one to show up. So he's offering The Cult acetate (shown below) for trade for a vg+ or better Marksmen. He's not on the forum so I'm putting this up for him. The Cult acetate is (I think) the...

The instruments sound newer, like studio musicians. All the output has a same-y quality instead of the unique sounds of the original model. And the melodies are jerky, incoherent, one-note and one-dimensional. It's just horrible! I guess they got some studio musicians to replace the original...
