Add some stereo Beach Boys to your day
To hear them ('cept Rhonda) in wonderfully re-mastered stereo is a revelation. Been a Beach Boys fan(atic) since there was a Beach Boys.
Love that they included lesser known songs "Please Let Me Wonder", "Good To My Baby", "Time To Get Alone" and "Our Sweet Love".
(Where's "She Knows Me Too Well"?) .


Brian Wilson rocks!
I have bought so many that I keep buying many of the same songs on different CDs. There will never be a Brian Wilson or Beach Boys CD that I won't love. But what the heck, it's Brian!.


Another year, anothe compilation with new stero versions.
"Three classic tracks have been mixed in stereo for the first time, exclusively for this release, and three others have received new stereo mixes. Without fail, when the calendar turns towards summer you can be sure that Capitol will roll out another Beach Boys compilation. " They keep adding a handful of new stereo mixes each year on these sets.

The only time I will buy another Beach Boys release will be when a complete collection is released. Similar to what is being release by The Beatles. Remastered with new stereo versions for the complete catalog. I'm tired of being ripped off like this. You have the material and the fan base, just get it done already.


Fantastic Beach Boys' Doo Wop Selection
Their wonderful vocal harmonies +
many songs with almost no instrumental back up prove this especially on this CD compilation. If the Beach Boys' lyrics had not been about sunny beaches, hot rod car
racing, waxing up surfboards and other summer features, they would have
been the number one doo wop group in history because frankly speaking
their musical roots are 100% doo wop. I really bought this for 2 reasons: the new remix
of the Doo Wop classic "Why do fools fall in love" and Dennis' song
"Fallin'in love". These "new" versions are absolutely wonderful. Dennis well known song "Forever" already was one of the most beautiful lovesongs but this one is even better. It shows that he was the most underrated member of this supergroup. On this CD we have 10 "classic" doowop songs like Hushabye, I'm So Young, Good To My Baby, Don't Worry Baby, Please let Me Wonder, Kiss Me Baby, Keep An Eye On Summer, Girls On The Beach etc. all in wonderful stereo. A real great selection with only one exception: why did they include the mono version of Help Me Rhonda??? Any other stereo song would have been more logical. Even for people (like me), who already have all there is available about the Beach Boys, should get this compilation. The songs chosen are better versions than the existing ones. .


Some of their best
Still, this album compiles some of the Beach Boys' best material (plus a couple of "new" cuts), and bears repeated listening. The recording quality is excellent, although the so-called remixes aren't very different. It's nice to remember when music was about FUN stuff, not politics!.
