Liner Notes from the Original LP (uncredited):

"It’s a new kind of song for The Beach Boys. All the things you’ve heard until now have had that great rockin’ surfer beat - the style that made these fabulous young performers just about the biggest thing in the country. “Surfer Girl” is entirely different. It’s a wonderful ballad, and if you haven’t already heard the guys do it, you have a treat in store for you. This song is fast becoming the romantic ballad of the day, and it’s making thousands of new friends for the boys.

And for the old friends of The Beach Boys there’s plenty of that good old surfin’ beat too, plus their wonderful tribute to The Four Freshmen, sung in their style, Your Summer Dream.

As you already know, they’re fabulous -- all the way! Capitol wishes to express its special thanks to Beach Boy Brian Wilson for producing what we consider to be the finest Beach Boys album yet."
