Black Border of the Beach Boys on front cover
Yellow ad sticker on front cover with red sticker denoting a Deluxe 2 record set. Now that's putting perfume on the pig
just a Yellow ad sticker on front cover
No more yellow sticker instead an Embossed yellow ad becoming a permanent fixture on the cover.

The Black Border is the first issue before the ad campaign on TV . I recall being blitzed for weeks and weeks by this commercial. the yellow sticker would have interfered with the black border covering a portion of it so they removed it instead, making it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Really?! Pickwick's lame attempt at it anyway.
The Black Border is the less common of them all, followed by the yellow ad cover. Once the ad campaign was over on TV then they discontinued the yellow ad on cover.
the most plentiful album covers are the Plain Seashore covers
High Water is a combination of Pickwick's Good Vibrations and Wow! Great Concert and in following Capitol's tradition of deletions from reissues, Pickwick spared no expense in doing so.
Good Vibrations[An Abridged version of Best of Vol. 3 with two tracks deleted) Surfin was wiped out and Frosty the Snowman was melted away.
Wow! Great Concert![The Ultimate Abrdged version. of BB Concert in '64) Four tracks were given the hook off the stage. Johnny B Goode, Let's Go Trippin', Hawaii, and The Wanderer.
