As I already mentioned and David confirmed, Bryan Wilson was deaf in 
one  ear.  And I also have not come across any Beach Boys records as 
Cary describes but there are Beatles and Elvis records like this.  
AsfortheAMradioquestion,the record companies were supplying stations 
with mono copies, even of London Phase 4 records that were never issued 
in mono.  Columbia DJ 45s were mono on one side and stereo on the other 
side in the mid 60s.
