UK CAPITOL (ST 2895) FIRST *STEREO* PRESSING (September 1968)
NICE COPY WHICH PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY
Friends is the 14th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on June 24, 1968 through Capitol Records.
The album is characterised by its calm and peaceful atmosphere, which contrasted the prevailing music trends of the time, and for its brevity, with five of its 12 tracks running less than two minutes long.
It sold poorly, peaking at number 126 on the US Billboard charts, the group's lowest US chart performance to date, although it reached number 13 in the UK.
But fans generally came to regard the album as one of the band's finest
