Brilliant fan-made comp containing the best of America's Band over their
long career, beginning with their first hit, 1962's Surfin' Safari, and
wrapping up 50 years later with their final hit (to date), 2012's That's
Why God Made The Radio. This set is a fine distillation of the 6-disc Best
Of which contains 182 tracks and is great for the casual fan. Every hit
single has been included along the way, all in top sound quality. All but
two songs are in stereo (their first single - Surfin' Safari / 409 - exists
only in mono), and care was used in selecting the top sound quality for
each track, including the rare single mixes for School Day and California
Saga. In short, this set has it all. Packaging also reflects the care
involved in this title, with full-color artwork (including disc art which
replicates the original Capitol vinyl LP labels) printed on high-quality
professional grade paper. In short, this set looks and sounds amazing and
for a band who already has an impressive number of 'Hits' collections, this
one stands head and shoulders above all the rest. For the true fan, the
casual fan, or the novice, this collection is sure to please anyone who is
a fan of The Beach Boys.
