HARD CORE FANS
SURFIN' SAFARI - THE ALBUM
Released in
December of 1962 by Capitol Records, this was the Beach Boys' first
album. The album produced 5 singles, "Surfin",
"Surfin Safari", "409", "County Fair"
and "Ten Little Indians". The last two were insignificant,
although TLI charted reasonably well, at #49.
Although, no smash hit, Surfin' Safari did well enough that Capitol sent the group back into the studio to record another album.
The following is the playlist for the Surfin' Safari album:
Track 1 - Surfin Safari (B. Wilson - M. Love)
Track 2 - County Fair (B. Wilson - G. Usher)
Track 3 - Ten Little Indians (B. Wilson - G. Usher)
Track 4 - Chug - A - Lug (B. Wilson - G. Usher)
Track 5 - Little Girl (You're My Miss America) (Catalano - Alpert)
