"Surfin’ U.S.A." - Beach Boys

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Commercial 45 copies of The Beach Boys' "Surfin' U.S.A." all have an actual run time of 2:27 (the printed time is 2:25 on 1963 pressings and 2:27 on 1974 pressings).  I only post this because the song's database CD appearances run from 2:23-2:28.

	The Rhino Surfin' Hits CD has the vocal track's left & right channels swapped as compared to a couple other masterings I have (e.g. the excellent 2012 reissue of the Surfin' U.S.A. album), and it has narrower stereo as well. Something to watch out for if you're comparing versions.
