Very rare ORIGINAL "STEREO" PRESSING of 1964 surf rock album release by THE CATALINAS entitled, Fun Fun Fun (Ric/Recording Industries Corp. Records ST-1006).  Band was made up of future BEACH BOYS member BRUCE JOHNSTON, and legendary WRECKING CREW (as in PHIL SPECTOR and BRIAN WILSON session players) studio cats STEVE DOUGLAS, RAY POHLMAN, HAL BLAINE, TOMMY TEDESCO, BILLY STRANGE, JAY MIGLIORI, BILL PITMAN, LEW (LEON) RUSSELL, and JERRY KOLE!  What makes this particular copy really cool is that it comes from the collection of singer-songwriter BILLY SWAN of I Can Help fame!  Billy purchased this when it first came out.  He has signed the top of the back cover "Bill Swan" in pink marker, and wrote his name at the top of Side Two in ballpoint pen.  There is also some writing on back cover in blue pen (see pic #2 above), but I can't tell who did it (possibly Billy...dated 1966).  Trax on this LP are Surfin' USA, Beach Ball, Surfer Boy, Wipe Out, Banzai Washout, Beach Walkin', Hot Rod USA, Queen of the Hot Rods, I Get Around, Boss Baracuda, Run Little Rabbit, and Summer Means Fun.  Produced by singer BOBBY DARIN's T.M. Productions...recorded March 26 and May 20, 1964 at RCA Victor Studios in Hollywood, CA.  Cover and Vinyl in VG condition.  Seam wear/tear at corners, and 2" split at bottom-right.
