Review - :
One of the oddest albums released by a major {\rock} group in the '60s, {^Stack-o-Tracks} consisted of instrumental backing tracks to 15 of {$the Beach Boys}' more famous songs, stripped of their vocals to encourage {\karaoke}-like {\singalongs}. It's an indication of how low {$the Beach Boys}' commercial stock had fallen at {@Capitol} that the label was desperate enough to put out the kind of release that usually only surfaces via bootleg. It's thus of interest mostly to collectors and {$Beach Boys} scholars who want to dig a little deeper into the instrumental tracks than they can otherwise (although on some of the tunes, you can hear some faint remnants of the vocal lines bleeding in). [A Japanese version included bonus tracks.] ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
