Beach Boys Bruce Johnston "Be True to Your School" RCA Reference Recording

Vintage RCA Reference Recording of Papa Doo Run Run's "Be True to Your School," produced by Beach Boys member Bruce Johnston. The 7" reference disc features an RCA Recording reference label handwritten by Johnston, identifying "Papa Doo Run Run," "Be True to Your School," a running time of 2:55, and the production notation "Produced by Bruce Johnston."

The disc represents a behind-the-scenes production artifact from the recording process, further distinguished by Johnston's handwritten studio notations directly on the reference label. Measuring approximately 7" in diameter and in fine condition. A scarce and fascinating studio reference recording with a strong Beach Boys connection, personally annotated by Bruce Johnston and further enhanced by its provenance from the personal collection of music industry executive Chip Rachlin.
