SPECIAL NOTES:  This week WABC is playing the album version of the 
Beach Boys’ “Barbara Ann.”  This version (from the LP, “Beach 
Boys’ Party!”) continues past the fade for a couple more verses, 
and ends cold.

No airplay on Paul Revere & the Raiders or Jay & the Americans.  
They remain in the approximate position where they appeared on the 
printed survey.

The album cut is from “Rubber Soul.”
