The Beach Boys Album: “All Summer Long [Compilation]”

Any Beach Boys fan will love it and even people who aren't Beach Boy fans will learn to love it and will love to listen to it. It's really cool and up to date. Buy it and listen to it! It's really great!

In the 1960s, albums released in America usually timed out at appx. 1/2 hour, with about 12 songs. Sadly, Capitol Records deleted the catalogue of Beach Boys two-fers, in favour of the original packaging seen here. As it is, All Summer Long is a first -- first response to the Beatles, first of the magnificent Brian Wilson-produced albums featuring all of Phil Spector's musicians, the Wrecking Crew, and first to really break the mould of only surf and car songs. Brian would

completely realise this non-fad album cycle with Today and Pet Sounds in the following two years. This album stands at the beginning of BB Phase II: Phase I was the surf/car records, Phase II inclu- ding All Summer Long/Summer Days/Today/Pet Sounds, and Phase III was the post-Pet Sounds, non-Brian-produced, collaborative period for the Beach Boys. Stellar production and vocal arrange- ments, catchy timeless tunes...what more is there?

I've been listening to the Beach Boys since I was five years old and this is still one of my favorites!!! Not only does it have some tunes that really get you jiven', but it has "Do you Remember?" on it, a short, but VERY awesome piece of music that you can't find (very easily) on any other CD. Its bound to put a smile on your face and make your leg start boppin'!!!

THIS CD IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE CAPITAL RECORDS RELEASE "ENDLESS SUMMER",

THE MID-70's RELEASE THAT GAVE THE BEACH BOYS A GOLD RECORD IN SALES. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE TRAX ARE SHUFFELED AROUND. GREAT "IMPORT" SOUND QUALITY - A GREAT DEAL.....BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR THOSE RARE "STEREO" VERSIONS OF "I GET AROUND" AND OTHERS, YOU WON'T FIND THEM HERE. THESE ARE THE SAME VERSIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN DOMESTIC USA MARKETS. STILL A GREAT BARGAIN . " BUY IT "
