This is one of my personal favorite Beach Boys singles. The A side so perfectly captures the angst of advanced teenage romance, it's amazing. Not to mention the beautiful music and vocal harmonies, of course. And then there's the B side.... Man, what a great two-fer! By the way, it's the B side that sits at #25 on Rolling Stone's list of the Top 500 Songs. Note: This copy has a drillhole and otherwise Near Mint A side label; the B label has a name taped to it. The vinyl looks Near Mint, but the audio has very light surface noise occasionally audible, lowering the audio grade to a strong EX.
