Bruce Johnston
According to the re-released 2006 CD cover: "No group epitomized the sun-soaked California Sound better than the fabulous Rip Chords... Led by legendary producer Terry Melcher along with future Beach Boy Bruce Johnston and ace-vocalists Ernie Bringas and Phil Stewart, these long-board big-guns left an indelible mark on the surf'n strip sounds of the '60s..." Moreover, for the first time, there is a picture of this foursome —Terry Melcher, Bruce Johnston, Ernie Bringas, Phil Stewart— on the inside cover of the 2006 CD booklet (accomplished by bringing four separate photographs together). All other photos in that booklet are pictures of the touring Rip Chords.
