BEACH BOYS - ENDLESS SUMMER - This was the album by which millions of sons of late baby boomers (and sons and daughters of the early ones) first really discovered the Beach Boys, beyond hearing the occasional oldie on the radio. It was the summer of 1974, and the Beach Boys were still trying to get themselves back on track commercially after a seven-year commercial dry spell, when this double LP of their 1963-1966 material (all but one cut predating Pet Sounds) came along and did the job. Endless Summer, which was assembled in consultation with Mike Love, soared to number one and charted high over two subsequent summers and attracted the enthusiastic attention of millions of listeners too young to have bought their singles back when." – All Music Guide

PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE - In 1977, Dennis Wilson launched Pacific Ocean Blue, the first solo LP by a member of the world-famous Beach Boys. Amazingly, Dennis – the band's drummer, surfer and all-around free spirit – emerged from the shadow of his older brothers, pop genius Brian Wilson, and shocked the world by creating a heartfelt body of work unlike anything the Beach Boys had ever produced. More than 30 years later, Pacific Ocean Blue remains one of the most intoxicating solo showcases by a Wilson brother.

BRIAN WILSON'S - GETTING IN OVER MY HEAD - The creative genius behind The Beach Boys’ phenomenal hit recordings of course was Brian Wilson. This is his first solo studio album since ’98 and features superstar guests Eric Clapton, Elton John and Paul McCartney. Brian Wilson is widely considered the greatest American-born popular music composer of the rock ‘n’ roll era. On this, his third solo release, the legendary artist returns to stellar melodic form with these original compositions and unforgettable performances.

With the full participation of original Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson, Capitol/EMI has, for the first time, collected and compiled the band’s legendary 1966-’67 sessions for the never-completed SMiLE album.

In numerous sessions between the spring of 1966 and the summer of 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, SMiLE, that was intended to follow the band's 1966 masterpiece, Pet Sounds. The master tapes were ultimately shelved, and The Beach Boys' SMiLE has never been released. Drawn from the original masters, The SMiLE Sessions presents an in-depth overview of The Beach Boys' recording sessions for the enigmatic album, which has achieved legendary, mythical status for music fans around the world.

This expanded, boxed edition of The SMiLE Sessions features the main SMiLE album tracks, plus four CDs of additional audio from the legendary sessions, a double 180g vinyl LP set, and two 7” vinyl singles. The deluxe box also contains a 60-page hardbound book with rare and previously unseen photos and memorabilia from The Beach Boys’ archive and newly-written essays by Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, Brian Wilson, and Bruce Johnston, as well as by Beach Boys historian and author Domenic Priore and many other inner-circle participants.

Produced by Brian Wilson, Mark Linett, Alan Boyd and Dennis Wolfe in Los Angeles The SMiLE Sessions’ box set includes an assembled collection of core session tracks. It also delves much deeper into the sessions, adding early song drafts, alternate takes, instrumental and vocals-only mixes, and studio chatter. The SMiLE Sessions invites the listener into the studio to experience the album's creation, with producer, singer and bassist Brian Wilson's vision leading the way as he guides his fellow Beach Boys, singer Mike Love, drummer Dennis Wilson, lead guitarist Carl Wilson, rhythm guitarist Al Jardine, and newest member Bruce Johnston (who'd replaced Brian Wilson in the touring group during 1965), through the legendary sessions.

Artwork for all of The SMiLE Sessions’ has been created with and inspired by Beat-Pop artist Frank Holmes’ original 1967 LP sleeve art and booklet designs intended for the SMiLE album. With its three-dimensional shadowbox lid, The SMiLE Sessions box set offers a whimsical peek inside the storied ‘SMiLE Shop.’

When Capitol/EMI and The Beach Boys first announced plans for The SMiLE Sessions’ 2011 release, the news spread rapidly. Pitchfork reported, "The Beach Boys’ SMiLE is quite possibly the most storied album in rock history," Billboard proclaimed the upcoming release "an event that pop music fans have been waiting for since the Summer of Love," and The Washington Post called SMiLE "the most legendary unreleased album of all time."

The best efforts have been taken by The Beach Boys, the producers, and Capitol/EMI to present the SMiLE album sessions’ most vital and fascinating elements. However, there will no doubt be some debate amongst Beach Boys fans around the world who, during the past four decades, have become familiar with a variety of widely-traded bootlegged bits and pieces from the sessions. As recently explained by the Detroit Metro Times, “No album, released or not, has generated a more personal relationship with its audience, since no two people can ever agree on its content and purpose.”

Beginning with “Good Vibrations,” The Beach Boys’ best-selling record in a long string of hits, Brian Wilson had begun to construct songs in a modular form, crafting individual sections that would later be edited together to form a coherent whole. In several intense bursts of creative energy, Wilson, drawing on the talents of the finest studio musicians in Los Angeles and utilizing the best studio facilities available on any given day, laid down dozens of musical fragments, all designed to fit together in any number of possible combinations. No one had done this before in pop music, and his next endeavor would be an album-length version of this unique and luxurious songwriting parlance: SMiLE.

In 1965, Brian Wilson met an up-and-coming session keyboard player and songwriter, Van Dyke Parks. Noticing Parks' conversational eloquence, Wilson felt that he could help to volley The Beach Boys’ songwriting into the wave of broader-messaged and socially-conscious rock 'n' roll that would come to define the '60s. They were soon collaborating on keynote songs for SMiLE, including “Heroes And Villains,” the band’s follow-up single to “Good Vibrations.” Wilson and Parks would also co-write “Surf's Up,” “Vega-Tables,” “Cabin Essence,” “Do You Like Worms,” “Wonderful,” “Wind Chimes,” and other pieces of the SMiLE tapestry. Parks also introduced Frank Holmes to create album sleeve art and a booklet interpreting the album’s James Joyce-mode lyrics.

The reason SMiLE did not see a release in 1967 had more to do with back room business that obscured the creative side of the program than anything else. In late 1966, The Beach Boys formed Brother Records, initially to produce outside artists. Soon, however, The Beach Boys would become embroiled in a court action with Capitol Records with the goal to become the top-selling artists on their self-owned, independent label. The group withheld “Heroes And Villains” and announced they would instead release “Vega-Tables” – recorded with the band’s own money in April of '67 – on Brother Records. By July of 1967, Capitol Records and The Beach Boys had come to terms, with Capitol agreeing to distribute the band’s Brother Records, and it was agreed that SMiLE was no longer to be the band’s next album.

"The most famous unfinished album in rock & roll history..." - Rolling Stone

"Whether you listen as an arranging and engineering workshop or just to enjoy the tunes, the release of Smile both closes and opens a chapter in American musical history. You can take much of what you hear for granted until you get to the "Cabin Essence" studio highights and then you realize that real people sitting in a real studio were playing all of this crazy and complex stuff all directed and supervised by the musical master Brian Wilson all of 24 at the time." - Michael Fremer,  , Music 9/10, Sound 8/10

The Beach Boys Surfin' USA 200 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP

 

The Ultimate Pressings of the Beach Boys Discography from Analogue Productions!

200g Vinyl LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings!

Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the Original Master Tapes or Best Sources Available!

A musical legacy that began in Hawthorne, California and went on to conquer the world. Analogue Productions presents the ultimate pressings of 14 essential Beach Boys albums! Mastered by Kevin Gray, most from the original master tapes, and plated and pressed by Quality Record Pressings, the finest LP pressing facility in the world, these are awesome recordings to experience. And the look of each album befits its sonic superiority! Presented in "old school" Stoughton tip-on jackets, these time honored favorites shine brighter than the originals!

Surfin' USA was the Beach Boys' real breakthough album, showing Brian Wilson asserting himself in the studio as both a premier songwriter and arranger on a set of material that was stronger than their Surfin' Safari debut.

Apart from Surfin' Safari, which was mono only, the Beach Boys did turn in stereo masters on all of their early albums up until 1965. The Beach Boys Today! was the first LP for which they only delivered a mono master.

The stereo editions of Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, Little Deuce Coupe, Shut Down Vol. 2, All Summer Long, Beach Boys Christmas Album and Beach Boys Concert were all mixed in stereo by their own preferred engineer, Chuck Britz, ostensibly under the group's supervision.

"Brian may or may not have been present for those mixing sessions — evidence suggests that he trusted Chuck's skills enough to let him prepare those mixes on his own — but the group held onto their multitrack tapes and delivered stereo masters to Capitol, rather than allowing Capitol to prepare their own stereo versions. Later, when Brian was only delivering mono masters, Capitol would prepare the Duophonic pseudo stereo editions for the stereo market," says Alan Boyd, producer and Beach Boys' archivist.

The Beach Boys' practice of double-tracking their vocals really lends itself to stereo mixes. Split left and right, as they are on a lot of those early stereo versions, those doubled vocal parts can really envelop the listener, surrounding them with Wilsons, Loves and Jardines!

All of the newer stereo mixes on these remastered albums (The Beach Boys Today!, Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!), The Beach Boys' Party, Pet Sounds and Smiley Smile) were all done by Mark Linett on behalf of the Beach Boys.

Besides the hit title track on Surfin' USA and its popular drag-racing flip side ("Shut Down"), AllMusic.com notes that Surfin' USA has a lovely, heartbreaking ballad ("Lonely Sea") and a couple of strong Brian Wilson originals ("The Noble Surfer" and "Farmer's Daughter").

"There are also a surprisingly high quotient of instrumentals (five) that demonstrate that...the Beach Boys could play respectably gutsy surf rock as a self-contained unit. Indeed, the album as a whole is the best they would make, prior to the late '60s, as a band that played most of their instruments, rather than as a vehicle for Brian Wilson's ideas. The LP was a huge hit, vital to launching surf music as a national craze, and one of the few truly strong records to be recorded by a self-contained American rock band prior to the British Invasion."

The Beach Boys Surfer Girl 200 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP

Surfer Girl, the Beach Boys' third album for Capitol Records, was the first produced by Brian Wilson on his own (the previous two, Surfin Safari and Surfin Usa (Mono & Stereo Remasters), were co-produced by the late Capitol A&R man, Nik Venet). This album was The Boys' first really great effort; there's not a bad track in the lot, including the title song, "Catch A Wave," "In My Room," "Hawaii," "Our Car Club," "Little Deuce Coupe," "Your Summer Dream," and more.

Apart from Surfin' Safari, which was mono only, the Beach Boys did turn in stereo masters on all of their early albums up until 1965. The Beach Boys Today! was the first LP for which they only delivered a mono master.

The stereo editions of Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, Little Deuce Coupe, Shut Down Vol. 2, All Summer Long, Beach Boys Christmas Album and Beach Boys Concert were all mixed in stereo by their own preferred engineer, Chuck Britz, ostensibly under the group's supervision.

Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the Original Master Tapes or Best Sources Available!

A musical legacy that began in Hawthorne, California and went on to conquer the world. Analogue Productions presents the ultimate pressings of 14 essential Beach Boys albums! Mastered by Kevin Gray, most from the original master tapes, and plated and pressed by Quality Record Pressings, the finest LP pressing facility in the world, these are awesome recordings to experience. And the look of each album befits its sonic superiority! Presented in "old school" Stoughton tip-on jackets, these time honored favorites shine brighter than the originals!

Released just one month after the Surfer Girl album, Little Deuce Coupe was, incredibly, the Beach Boys' fourth album in less than a year. Brian Wilson and the band responded by turning in arguably their most consistent effort to date — and a concept album, to boot.

Little Deuce Coupe expanded the band's subject matter to encompass 1963 America's burgeoning love affair with hot rods, surrounding previously released cuts such as the title track, "409," and others with strong new material (much of it cowritten by Wilson and a DJ, Roger Christian). A highpoint: the a cappella James Dean tribute "A Young Man Is Gone" (a reworking of Bobby Troup's beautiful "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring"), a prime example of Wilson's arranging genius and the band's vocal prowess. "Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring" had been a standard for the vocal group The Four Freshmen, whose lush and distinctive jazz-based vocal arrangements had a huge influence on Brian's musical development.

Apart from Surfin' Safari, which was mono only, the Beach Boys did turn in stereo masters on all of their early albums up until 1965. The Beach Boys Today! was the first LP for which they only delivered a mono master.

The stereo editions of Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, Little Deuce Coupe, Shut Down Vol. 2, All Summer Long, Beach Boys Christmas Album and Beach Boys Concert were all mixed in stereo by their own preferred engineer, Chuck Britz, ostensibly under the group's supervision.

"Brian may or may not have been present for those mixing sessions — evidence suggests that he trusted Chuck's skills enough to let him prepare those mixes on his own — but the group held onto their multitrack tapes and delivered stereo masters to Capitol, rather than allowing Capitol to prepare their own stereo versions. Later, when Brian was only delivering mono masters, Capitol would prepare the Duophonic pseudo stereo editions for the stereo market," says Alan Boyd, producer and Beach Boys' archivist.

The Beach Boys' practice of double-tracking their vocals really lends itself to stereo mixes. Split left and right, as they are on a lot of those early stereo versions, those doubled vocal parts can really envelop the listener, surrounding them with Wilsons, Loves and Jardines!

All of the newer stereo mixes on these remastered albums (The Beach Boys Today!, Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!), The Beach Boys' Party, Pet Sounds and Smiley Smile) were all done by Mark Linett on behalf of the Beach Boys.

The Beach Boys All Summer Long 200 GRAM STEREO LIMITED EDITION LP

The Ultimate Pressings of the Beach Boys Discography from Analogue Productions!

200g Vinyl LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings! Mono Mix Created Under Brian Wilson's Supervision!

Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the Original Master Tapes or Best Sources Available! 


To meet the standards of Analogue Productions, their Beach Boys album reissues had a mission to achieve: Present the band's music the way that Brian Wilson — famed co-founder, songwriter and arranger — intended. Mono mixes created under Wilson’s supervision were how the surf rockin’ California crew rose to fame! And they’ve got ‘em!

For the early part of the Beach Boys career, all of their singles were mixed and mastered and released only in the mono format — they didn't release a single in stereo until 1968. In those days, hits were made on AM radio in mono. And the mono of those times worked well for Wilson, who suffers from partial deafness. Still, apart from Surfin' Safari, which was mono only, the Beach Boys did turn in stereo masters on all of their early albums up until 1965. The Beach Boys Today was the first LP for which they only delivered a mono master.

Bottom line, the mono mixes were where Brian Wilson paid intense attention, and the dedication paid off!

Analogue Productions has taken 10 of the most classic, best-sounding Beach Boy titles ever and restored them to their mono glory!

But there’s no disputing that the close harmonies and one-of-a-kind rhythms of hits like “Surfer Girl,” “In My Room,” “Little Deuce Coupe” and more lend themselves naturally to stereo. So Analogue Productions has your 2-channel needs covered with prime stereo mix versions as well. 

Mastered by Kevin Gray, most from the original master tapes, and plated and pressed by Quality Record Pressings, the finest LP pressing facility in the world, these are awesome recordings to experience. And the look of each album befits its sonic superiority! Presented in "old school" Stoughton tip-on jackets, these time honored favorites shine brighter than the originals!

All Summer Long is the sixth studio album by The Beach Boys and their second in 1964. It rose to number four in the US during a forty-nine week chart stay, and was certified gold by the RIAA. The album's sessions were recorded in the aftermath of the British Invasion, marking a major turning point in the Beach Boys' career, and in bandleader/primary songwriter Brian Wilson as an artist. For a brief period of time following its release, All Summer Long was to be their final album which reveled in California beach culture.

"All Summer Long was notable not only for racheting up the Beach Boys' standards and essentially bidding farewell to the surf songs that inspired both their name and reputation, but also for going toe-to-toe with one of rock's most explosive phenomena — Beatlemania — and coming away victorious, with the single 'I Get Around' soaring to No. 1 in the spring of 1964. Essentially another loose concept record (revolving around the innocent hedonistic pursuits of an idyllic SoCal summer) that takes its cue from the effervescent title track, it also documents Brian's restless creativity pushing the band toward its performing peak." -

"The Beach Boys In Concert" was the second live album for the group and was released in 1973, nine years after their first live album released in the U.S., "Beach Boys Concert."

"Beach Boys in Concert was the final live album to be issued -- excluding archival vault releases -- capturing the seminal American combo as a viable, hard-working rock & roll band with timeless material...This is the way the Beach Boys deserve to be remembered." -Lindsay Planer, allmusic

180g Vinyl LP Reissue! Includes the Single "Do It Again!"

Originally released in 1969, 20/20 is now available on vinyl again. The 180 gram vinyl replicates the original packaging. The title was released post-Pet Sounds and contains 60’s era hit singles "Do It Again" and "I Can Hear Music."

A self-produced album, the Beach Boys included songs spanning across a variety of different genres including hard rock, country and psych pop. The lead single "Do It Again," their first 'surfer' song since before Pet Sounds, charted at number one on the UK chart.

Including compilation albums, 20/20 was the twentieth album for the group - hence the title.

The Beach Boys Beach Boys Concert 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP

180g Vinyl Reissue Includes "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" and "The Wanderer!"

Beach Boys Concert is a live album by the Beach Boys, released in 1964. It is their seventh album in all, and their third alone in the same year. What is perhaps most notable about the album is that it provided the Beach Boys with their first number one album in the US, remaining at the top for four weeks during a sixty-two week chart stay and becoming another gold seller.

Beach Boys Concert proves to be a timely release because leader and producer Brian Wilson was about to vacate his position in the live group, and would only perform sporadically with them over the course of the next three decades. It is also the only live document of the second line up of the Beach Boys in officially released LP form. It was recorded live at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, CA.

The album includes several songs that The Beach Boys regularly performed live but had not previously included on an album, such as "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow," "The Wanderer" and "Monster Mash." "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" was actually a Jan & Dean hit. Alongside those were a sampling of their favorites, such as "Hawaii," "In My Room," "Fun, Fun, Fun," and "I Get Around."

The Beach Boys 15 Big Ones 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP


180g Vinyl Reissue!

15 Big Ones is the twentieth studio album by American rock group The Beach Boys released in July 1976. It was their first studio album since Holland three years earlier, and the first produced by Brian Wilson since Pet Sounds ten years earlier. With Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar having left the group, 15 Big Ones marks the first album to feature the classic five-piece lineup of the Beach Boys (brothers Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson; cousin Mike Love; and friend Al Jardine) since 1965's The Beach Boys Today!. 

Recorded in 1975, this album contains covers of rock and doo wop standards as well as Beach Boys original compositions. The title "15 Big Ones" comes from the fact that the group had been in business for 15 years plus it carried a 15-song tracklisting.

The Beach Boys Live in London 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION AUDIOPHILE LP

180g Vinyl Reissue of Live Album Recorded in 1968!

Live in London is a live album by The Beach Boys, initially released by EMI in the UK in May 1970, and in the US via Capitol Records on November 15, 1976. The album captures the band's biggest hits at the live best. 

While their popularity waned (momentarily) back home in the U.S., the Beach Boys flourished overseas as is evident by the performances recorded December 8, 1968 at Finsbury Park Astoria in London. The live version of 'Good Vibrations' found on this album is used in the game Rock Band 3.

"...the celebratory "Wake the World" and a bluesy take of "Bluebirds Over the Mountains" fit in perfectly with staples like the tempo-shifting, musically precise version of "Good Vibrations," just one crowd-pleaser among many on Live in London." -Rovi Staff, allmusic

180g Vinyl Reissue!

L.A. (Light Album) is the twenty-third studio album by The Beach Boys, released on March 19, 1979. Produced by Bruce Johnston, James William Guercio and the band itself, the album was The Beach Boys' first on CBS Records, and the first to feature contributions from Johnston since his departure from the band in 1972. 

Johnston was brought in when it became clear that the ailing Brian Wilson was in no fit state to produce the album, and has remained in the band ever since. The album contains excellent harmonies and a laid back vibe. The album spawned a top-ten hit in the UK with Al Jardine's "Lady Lynda" written for his then-wife.

PET SOUNDS - 200 GRAM STEREO AUDIOPHILE ISSUE

This has to be one of the all-time greatest albums by one of the most creative groups ever. Why? Well try such phenomenal breathtaking classics as “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” (No.8 US ’66), “Sloop John B” (No.2 UK, No.3 US ’66) and the truly timeless beautiful “God Only Knows” (No.2 UK, No.39 US ’66) - each and every one being a gem and as such easily put the Beach Boys into the same creative stratosphere as the Beatles.

PET SOUNDS is the album which managed to transcend the Beach Boys from a bunch of sun-drenched beach bums to west coast musical geniuses in one fell swoop. In fact, Brian Wilson himself actively credits the Beatles RUBBER SOUL as being the catalyst for the standard of work achieved on PET SOUNDS. Listening to the album again on 180 gram vinyl for the first time in years, it’s obvious that “Pet Sounds” is one of the masterpieces of the millennium.

Tracks include: Wouldn't It Be Nice - You Still Believe In Me - That's Not Me - Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) - I'm Waiting For The Day - Let's Go Away For A While - Sloop John B - God Only Knows - I Know There's An Answer - Here Today - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times - Pet Sounds - Caroline No - Hang On To Your Ego (Bonus Track)

SMILEY SMILE -

THE BEACH BOYS - SMILEY SMILE - 180 Gram Limited Edition Simply Vinyl classic LP (made in England - has the best protective packaging I’ve seen) high-definition Virgin Vinyl pressing for superior fidelity. The nicest thing you can do for your stylus and your ears. The ultimate record -- the way music was meant to be heard and of superior quality.

The follow-up to such a classic as PET SOUNDS- is the legendary SMILEY SMILE. Even attempting to follow up the brilliance of PET SOUNDS would be a tough mission for anyone, let alone the Beach Boys!. Add into the equation the astounding array of mind-bending drugs which were around at the time and the descent into weirdness which affected the Beach Boys resident genius Brian Wilson and we have all the ingredients of an A#1disaster. Well, make no mistake about it, there is little doubt that the Beach Boys lost their former Surfing audience and exchanged them for a new generation of stoners.

Containing the magnificent "Good Vibrations" (No.1 UK, No.1 US '66) and the audacious "Heroes and Villains" (No.9 UK, No.12 US '67), SMILEY SMILE is definitely an album of some very weird and wonderful times.

Other tracks include:  Vegetables - Fall Breaks and Back To Winter - She's Goin' Bald - Little Pad - With Me Tonight - Wind Chimes - Getting Hungry - Wonderful - Whistle In

Needless to say, it sounds absolutely superb on beautiful 180 gram vinyl - as it was meant to be heard.

The Ultimate Pressings of the Beach Boys Discography from Analogue Productions!

200 GRAM Vinyl LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings! Mono Mix Created Under Brian Wilson's Supervision!

Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the Original Master Tapes or Best Sources Available!

To meet the standards of Analogue Productions, their Beach Boys album reissues had a mission to achieve: Present the band's music the way that Brian Wilson — famed co-founder, songwriter and arranger — intended. Mono mixes created under Wilson’s supervision were how the surf rockin’ California crew rose to fame! And they’ve got ‘em!

"This reissue sounds far superior to the original in every way… Unless you are a Beach Boy "completist" and want to hear these songs sounding better than you've ever heard them, this debut is not exactly essential. On the other hand, if you can overlook the songwriting you will hear a young band that is getting together its playing chops and getting ready to take its act on the road and hit the really big time. That alone can help make the listening exciting…"

"There's no deterring hard-core Beach Boys fans from these reissues, especially those who grew up with the original records and who want to hear them re-mastered for adult record players… These reissues restore whatever was really on the tapes… As for the quality of these reissues, it's quite clear that, whether or not you like the sonic results, Analogue Productions sets the reissue standard. The company insists upon using analog master tapes (where available), not analog copies, it uses the best available artwork, and packages in "Tip-on"™ jackets. It masters where the tapes are located using Kevin Gray in California, Ryan K. Smith in New York and Willem Makkee in Germany." - Michael Fremer,

For the early part of the Beach Boys career, all of their singles were mixed and mastered and released only in the mono format — they didn't release a single in stereo until 1968. In those days, hits were made on AM radio in mono. And the mono of those times worked well for Wilson, who suffers from partial deafness.

And the look of each album befits its sonic superiority! Presented in "old school" Stoughton tip-on jackets, these time honored favorites shine brighter than the originals!

With this quiet QRP pressing of Surfin' Safari you'll enjoy the smash hit title cut as well as "409," "Summertime Blues," and more as the fledgling Beach Boys proudly display their garage band roots in this, their debut album for Capitol Records.

Their classic songs epitomize the spirit of the California lifestyle and The Beach Boys have become an American icon to a worldwide audience. The Beach Boys' first hit "Surfin'" (1961) launched a string of chart-topping songs that spans nearly forty years and includes eternal anthems of American youth: "Surfin' USA," "Surfer Girl," "Fun, Fun, Fun," "I Get Around," "California Girls," "Help Me Rhonda," "Barbara Ann," "Good Vibrations," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Rock and Roll Music," "Kokomo," and more.

Their chart success alone would have earned The Beach Boys their spot in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (they were inducted in 1988), not to mention 32 RIAA Platinum and Gold record awards and worldwide sales estimated at more than 100 million. But The Beach Boys' story is one of not only commercial but also artistic success. Their unique blend of harmonies, musical arrangements and timeless lyrics still place the music of The Beach Boys among the All-Time Favorites of today's music critics. As an example, VH-1 named Pet Sounds as the No. 3 album in the Top 100 Albums in Rock 'n' Roll History, as judged in a poll of musicians, executives and journalists. The Beach Boys were honored at the 2001 Grammy Awards, receiving The Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy.

  The Beach Boys Surf's Up 200 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP

EMI continues to faithfully restore and deliver quality vinyl "From the Capitol Vaults".

Surf's Up, the album originally released in 1971, was based on the song of the same title written for the abandoned 1966-67 SMiLE album (which was later completed & released in 2004 by Brian Wilson and his band). This album features a re-worked version while SMiLE contains the original version of the song.

"The late, angel-throated Carl Wilson in particular shines here, and with two of brother Brian's greatest-ever tunes, 'Til I Die' and 'Surf's Up,' closing things out... the listener is left levitating in ecstasy as the final notes fade away. To this day, I get misty when I hear those songs - that teenage me gently inhabiting my being for a precious few minutes." - Fred Mills, Stereophile Magazine, February 2013, p. 74

THE BEACH BOYS THE BEACH BOYS TODAY! 180 GRAM LP

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 271/500!

The highly acclaimed and industry leading vinyl initiative, EMI's "From the Capitol Vaults", continues with crucial titles from the Beach Boys, The Band, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie and Faust!

The 1965 album was the Beach Boys' eighth studio album and the first of three to be released that year. The record contains the original version of the classic hit "Help Me, Rhonda". "Today!" marked a major turning point for the band, and especially the exhausted Brian Wilson. This was the point Wilson gave up touring, and many consider this the beginning of his artistic maturation.

One side of the album contains upbeat songs including "Do You Wanna Dance" and "Help Me Rhonda" while the second side features ballads such as "Please Let Me Wonder" and "Kiss Me, Baby". Aside from their highly successful "Pet Sounds", "Today!" is their most highly acclaimed.

"The Beach Boys were still into cars, girls and surfboards, but Brian Wilson was already a genius. He writes sweet California tunes here, from "When I Grow Up (to Be a Man)" to "Don't Hurt My Little Sister." And the haunting "She Knows Me Too Well" hits as deep as anything on Pet Sounds." -

BRIAN WILSON BRIAN WILSON 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION AUDIOPHILE LP (BLUE VINYL) - 

180g Translucent Blue Vinyl Mastered by Friday Music's Joe Reagoso & Ron McMaster From Original Sire Records Tapes!

Along with The Beach Boys, the legendary Brian Wilson, the rock and roll genius and ambassador of time honored classic rock and popular song, invented and helped shape the California sound for the entire world to enjoy for over fifty years. His distinct vision and musical imagery for The Beach Boys truly made them one of the first rock bands in history to sell multi-platinum and gold albums to millions of fans around the globe.

In 1988, Brian Wilson took some time out from The Beach Boys and ventured out on his own and delivered what was to soon become his masterpiece debut solo album Brian Wilson.

For this masterwork, Brian performs a number of his future classics like his powerful hit single Love And Mercy and brilliantly melodic tunes like his much loved Melt Away and his tribute to The Beach Boys One For The Boys. Some of his Beach Boys Today roots and Phil Spector admiration is felt as well with stunning tracks like Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long and Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight.

A star studded event, Brian Wilson is joined by many of his superstar friends like Christopher Cross and Andy Paley on the rockin’ Night Time as Terrence Trent D’Arby lends a hand on the Beach Boys Love You vibe of Walkin’ The Line. Jeff Lynne (ELO, Traveling Wilburys) joins the team as well for one of the finest collaborative efforts ever between two legends with the beautiful Let It Shine.

Brian Wilson also knows how to create pocket symphonies as he did for years with epic tracks like Good Vibrations. For this LP, the spectacular Rio Grande closes the album out leaving us all with even more good vibrations about how masterful this album truly is.

As another fine installment in the exclusive Brian Wilson 180 Gram Audiophile Series, Friday Music proudly presents for the first time ever on 180 Gram Audiophile Translucent Blue Vinyl, the 25th Anniversary of Brian Wilson’s classic masterpiece Brian Wilson.

Brian Wilson I Just Wasn't Made For These Times 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP

180g Audiophile Vinyl Mastered by Friday Music's Joe Reagoso With Kevin Gray From Original MCA Records Master Tapes!

Along with The Beach Boys, the legendary Brian Wilson, the rock and roll genius and ambassador of time honored classic rock and popular song, invented and helped shape the California sound for the entire world to enjoy for over fifty years. His distinct vision and musical imagery for The Beach Boys truly made them one of the first rock bands in history to sell multi-platinum and gold albums to millions of fans around the globe.

In 1996, Brian Wilson and long-time admirer superstar producer Don Was collaborated on what was to become a much applauded project in Wilson’s long time solo career. Pre-dating his own Smile album release by several years, I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times was a soundtrack to the critically acclaimed documentary which went on to receive several Emmy and Sundance nominations during the film’s initial run at the theatre and on the Disney Channel.

Organically recorded with its minimalistic approach, Don Was reached for and delivered the soulful side of Brian Wilson. For this masterwork, Brian performs a number of his classic Beach Boys hits like The Warmth Of The Sun, Do It Again (featuring daughters Carnie and Wendy Wilson) and album track treasures like Meant For You from Friends, ‘Til I Die from Surf’s Up and of course the Pet Sounds classic Caroline, No.

For this album, Brian Wilson also included some of his later solo hits like Love And Mercy, Melt Away and a very rare home studio demo of Still I Dream Of It, plus even more Beach Boys classics like This Whole World from Sunflower.

In an effort to continually offer the consummate music fan with the greatest recordings of all time, Friday Music proudly presents for the first time ever on 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl, Brian Wilson’s classic masterpiece I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times.
