Customer Reviews

40 years sgo, the greatest pop song of all time!!!
Capitol could have just ignored this anniversary just like Apple has done with most of the Beatles. Instead, they give us this nicely priced, limited edition HDCD. It inlcudes, for the first time, the original backing track in stereo!!! Plus some other stuff that have been released before, but scattered around in box sets, and imports. Its nice to have it all in one place, for a good price, in a limited edition that one day will go for twice the price. If you are a beach boys fan, run and get it.

Can't be beat!
If you are a diehard Beach Boys fan, its very important to have this if only for the memento it is. If you enjoy listening to outakes and want to get a feel of the whole production I highly recommend this wonderful little package. Its the Boys and all the studio musicians giving their all to perhaps the most complex piece of music Brian Wilson ever wrote.

Lost vocals - believe
Last time anyone heard of the GV vocal multitracks was when Brian mixed the single down to mono, fall 1966. You think if anyone knew where they were, we wouldn't have had it in stereo by now ?

Nice little release. Now can we have THE SMILE SESSIONS 1966-67 box set, please ?
