California Girls (French version) album signed on the back cover in blue ballpoint by Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson, and “Hi, Mike Love, Beach Boys.” Signatures were obtained backstage at the Beach Boys concert in Paris in 1966, with Carl taking the time to write out the band’s 16-song set list, including “Help Me Rhonda,” “Surfin’ USA,” “California Girls,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Sloop John B,” “God Only Knows,” and the feel-good closer, “Good Vibrations.” Additionally, Carl has written his first name next to each of the three songs he sang lead vocals on, and added Dennis’s first name next to his lead vocal song, “Do You Wanna Dance.” All the signatures were obtained by two friends of the original owner who were able to get backstage access by offering their assistance in breaking down the band’s equipment; the recipient noted that Carl took the time to write the entire set list and was the most engaging of the three band members. Scattered light soiling, some uniform toning to laminate at edges, and a mild album impression, otherwise fine condition. The record is not included. The band toured heavily after their release of Pet Sounds, despite Brian Wilson withdrawing from performing publicly. One of the most unique and interesting Beach Boys items we have come across, obtained during the tour in support of their revolutionary album. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
