In 1987 - when vinyl was still released on the Dutch music market - two Beach Boys reissue singles were released.

Unknown Dutch label: This late 70ies label is a total mystery. The sleeve - obviously a Dutch product - doesn't mention anything on the local company that printed them. Due the recent discoveries of the copies shown here we know that there are at least 8 Beach Boys releases, as the back of the sleeves mention them. The single itself makes it clear that it's low budget reissue with an imported US-single release. It is assumed that the release missing here is the GRE 0107 release. Most probably these US-singles - due to stock-overload - were shipped to The Netherlands where a cheap picture sleeve was hastily added.
