Fun, Fun, Fun/ Why Do Fools Fall In Love

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Capitol Records factory sleeve. This is a pristine Mint copy of one of the group's best rockers, which again cites Chuck Berry in the classic opening lead guitar line. Oh, and in case you were under the impression that this was one of the Beach Boys' lesser hits, please note that no less a critic than Dave Marsh pegs "Fun, Fun, Fun" as the second best single of their career, and one of only 6 of their 45s he includes in the list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. (What does Marsh think is the best Beach Boys track? That would be "Don't Worry Baby," which is at #75 on the list! You don't have to agree with Marsh, but the fact that he pegs "Fun" at #219 in that list should make you at least sit up and take notice!) And that doesn't even count the fact that the B side is a glorious update to the old Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers jewel. Note: This beautiful copy has no notable flaws, grading pristine Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The audio is simply unbelievably powerful... I had to put an mp3 snippet in the "jukebox" so you could hear what I mean! (These copies are old store stock, at one time sale-priced at 98 cents, as a small red sticker on the Capitol sleeve reads.)
