Cover is worn with ring wear and side splits. A nice, playable copy. From Wikipedia: "All Summer Long is the sixth studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on July 13, 1964. It rose to number 4 in the US during a 49-week chart stay, and was certified gold by the RIAA. Lead single "I Get Around" was issued in May and became the band's first number one hit in the U.S. ...It was the first LP the group recorded since the British Invasion, and the last where their music reveled in California beach culture. until the 1968 single "Do It Again". Only one song explicitly references surfing: "Don't Back Down"; there are no hot rod songs at all for the first time, since "Little Honda" is about a motorcycle....The album has received very positive reviews from critics. Biographer Jon Stebbins commented that "The Beach Boys were still a garage band playing most of the instruments, but the production and vocal arrangements were getting more sophisticated... The album represents Brian on the cusp of greatness, with all of the potential for greater things still ahead of him." " Every effort is made to ship all books and other items within 24 hours.
