Item description for The Beach Boys - Best Of 1961-2012 6-CD - 182 SONGS

Here it is - the ULTIMATE Beach Boys Collection, which gathers up 182 of

their best-loved and most well-known songs spanning their entire career

from young kids who recorded the Surfin' single in the home studio of Hite

and Dorinda Morgan in October 1961 to the seasoned veterens who recorded

their final album, That's Why God Made The Radio in 2012. Along the way,

182 tracks take you on a loving trip through the career of America's Band.

This wonderful fan-made set has it all! All but seven tracks are in full

stereo and to make it interesting, many of the songs continue well past

their normal fade-out points so you can hear the full ending. As an added,

fun bonus, six A.I. assisted tracks have been added to the set to give an

even wider view of what was possible for the group. As if all that weren't

enough, a few solo tracks from Dennis and Brian Wilson were included to

expand on the scope of the group's sonic palette. Sound quality is top-

notch and consistent throughout. This set is for casual fans, serious fans

and anyone in between. For a group which have had countless compilations

over the years, this is the end-all, be-all collection. The only one

you'll ever need. Makes the perfect gift for any fan.
