Rough Trade Essential

The Beach Boys are an American rock band from Hawthorne, California that formed in 1961. Their vocal harmonies, early surf songs, and innovative recordings remain a massive influence on popular music today.
With their distinctive sound and iconic harmonies, The Beach Boys have become one of the most influential bands in the history of rock music. Originating from Hawthorne, California in 1961, this talented group quickly rose to fame with their catchy surf songs and innovative recordings.
Their unique blend of vocals and instrumental arrangements set them apart from other bands of their time, paving the way for future generations of musicians. Even today, The Beach Boys' music continues to captivate audiences worldwide and serve as a testament to their enduring legacy.

The best Beach Boys album, and one of the best of the 1960s. The group here reached a whole new level in terms of both composition and production, layering tracks upon tracks of vocals and instruments to create a richly symphonic sound. Conventional keyboards and guitars were combined with exotic touches of orchestrated strings, bicycle bells, buzzing organs, harpsichords, flutes, Theremin, Hawaiian-sounding string instruments, Coca-Cola cans, barking dogs, and more. It wouldn't have been a classic without great songs, and this has some of the group's most stunning melodies, as well as lyrical themes which evoke both the intensity of newly born love affairs and the disappointment of failed romance (add in some general statements about loss of innocence and modern-day confusion as well). The spiritual quality of the material is enhanced by some of the most gorgeous upper-register male vocals (especially by Brian and Carl Wilson) ever heard on a rock record. 'Wouldn't It Be Nice,' 'God Only Knows,' 'Caroline No,' and 'Sloop John B' (the last of which wasn't originally intended to go on the album) are the well-known hits, but equally worthy are such cuts as 'You Still Believe in Me,' 'Don't Talk,' 'I Know There's an Answer,' and 'I Just Wasn't Made for These Times.' 

2CD - Features the album remastered in stereo and mono with highlights from the collectors edition's additional tracks.
