Notes

Gatefold cover with a surfer's "woody" station wagon feautured on the front. The entire inner portion of the gatefold acts as a 'centerfold' featuring a well-figured blond topless sunbather laying in the sand on her stomach. At the top of the inner portion it lists all the selections, artists, and writers. The back cover features a silhoutted picture of two surfers holding their boards, a life-guard tower, and a palm tree in front of a green sea. The selections and artists are again noted on the back cover. The foot of the back cover list all the credits.

Inside the gatefold is a 24" x 36" poster featuring the blond topless bather who is standing with her back facing the camera.

Inner sleeves: The inner sleeve containing Record 1 and Record 4 (bact-to-back) has some inner sleeve notes by Jim Pewter who is a Los Angeles disc jockey. The other inner sleeve has individual notes of each song mostly talk of the writers, producers, and record labels.
