I had of course always been aware of the Beach boys, but being a 17 year old brit, they were never top of my 'to listen list'. However I saw a rhcp cover of I get around,liked it, and decided to buy a complation of beach boy songs to take on my summer holiday. Needless to say they are now one of my favourite bands up there with the Ramones and the Beatles. This compliation, as an introduction, is really good. It has all of the biggest hits. However going back to it now after hearing the likes of Pet sounds, sunflower and all summer long, I cant help but feel that some of the best songs are missing. The likes of 'Wendy', 'All summer Long', and later masterpeices like 'forever' are nowhere to be seen. But as an introduction, this is really ... Read More:

Sunflower was the product of 18 months recording activity by the Beach Boys and features song writing contributions from every group member. Although the Beach Boys are chiefly remembered as a sixties artist their first release of the new decade is perhaps their finest album (save for Pet Sounds, of course!). Although the album was recorded in very turbulent times for the group, you would never know it. The album captures a warmth and crispness that makes a dense production seem much lighter than it is. Much of the credit for this must go to engineer Stephen Desper. Sunflower obviously features the usual (excellent) Beach Boys harmonies couples with inventive backing tracks. Much musical ground is covered from folksy gospel (Add Some Music) to Broadway ... Read More:

"A total classic record, that is unbeatable in many ways". This particular tribute came from one Paul McCartney, who over the last forty years has declared his never ending love for 'Pet Sounds'. And we sure as hell don't know more than he does, so it goes without saying that 'Pet Sounds' is one of the greatest albums ever made. But what astonishes the most, is that Brian Wilson wrote this virtually single handedly. The Beatles had just released the amazing 'Revolver', for Wilson to come out with something even better. The saying that genius and madness are two sides of the same coin, it's no surprise to know that Wilson really was going mad at the time (He's since recovered somewhat). His eclectic use of organs, flutes, dog whistles ... Read More:

Truly a fantastic compilation album from one of the greatest and most treasured bands of all time. The Beach Boys covered so much ground in their music, from girls, cars, heartbreak, romance man it is all here, and of course it ends with 'good vibrations' arguably the greatest song of all time. 'Sounds of summer' truly is a treat to listen to, put it on in the car, at home or best of all during a day out with friends or family and it puts you in a good mood. I recommend along with this album that you should buy 'the warmth of the sun' kind of it's brother album for the perfect summer package.

I eagerly purchased this CD because AT LAST it looked to supercede all others. It contained the late 60's- early 70's singles (Long Promised Road, Student Demonstration Time etc.) which had been omitted from other compilations. What I wasn't prepared for and no other reviewers seem so far to have mentioned, was the SOUND! I dug out a previous "best of" and played "Do it Again", then the ORIGINAL vinyl 45 of the same, then (one more time again!) played THIS recording and the piercing, ear splittingly THIN sound was unlistenable beyond a moderately low volume. WHAT a dsappointment! So yes, at last- all the good stuff on one reasonably priced 3-cd set,but seemingly at the expense of the overall sound. I would be interested to know what others who have several different copies ... Read More:

If only we could get rid of the 'it's not Smile' syndrome in dealing with the first album on this '2fer'. No, it isn't, I agree! What it is, is an incredible album called 'Smiley Smile', which deserves to be considered on its own merits. It has long been one of my favourites. I bought it when it first came out on vinyl and played it over and over. I recently bought this release, and it still knocks me out. As for 'Wild Honey', it's an excellent, if not quite as outstanding, Beach Boys album, which also seems not to get the regognition it deserves. Incidentally, I have had access to what purport to be the complete Beach Boys 'Smile' output, and I can honestly say that, too much of what you hear is a mess. Presumably, as evinced, ... Read More:

First, in answer to questions often asked about this album, I must point out that the track with Tammy Wynette (In my room) was eventually released on her memorial album, Tammy Wynette Remembered, and it is at least as good as any of the tracks that are on this album. It was included on that album because it was already clear that volume 2 would never be completed. As far as I know, this was the only track recorded for volume 2. As a lover of Beach Boys, country music and tribute albums, I love this album. It is obvious to me that some people take their music far too seriously. There are some really classy performances here, particularly Don't worry baby with Lorrie Morgan, Warmth of the sun with Willie Nelson and I can hear music with Kathy Troccoli, but some of the other tracks are just for fun. ...

By far the best cd in the capitol double-play beach boys series. This cd combines two of the greatest albums of the sixties, beautifully combining classic rock and roll song such as 'good to my baby' and 'the girl from new york city' with breathtaking ballads such as 'kiss me baby' and 'she knows me so well'. It also contains two of the beach boys biggest hits in 'california girls' and 'help me rhonda'. The bonus tracks include what is in my opinion the most underated beach boy song ever in 'the little girl i once new' along side various alternate takes from hits on the albums.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.40
Great album. All the hits from the uk are on from 1963 to 1970 some us singles which did not chart in the uk are on it as well. Shame bluebirds over the mountain isn't on it all tho it was a uk top 40 hit for the boys in 1968. All the songs have been digitally remastered buy the album it sounds original.
