This collection perfectly captures on a single disc the career arc of one of America`s most important pop groups. Stuffing 30 songs into a small space, SOUNDS OF SUMMER checks in with these West Coast sunshine pop wizards at each phase of their development. There`s the early chicks-and-cars, Chuck Berry-influenced material ("I Get Around," "Little Deuce Coupe"), the surf songs on which the Beach Boys` early reputation is based (the genre`s national anthem "Surfin` Safari," the surprisingly transcendent "Surfer Girl"), and more.
Of course the celebrated "teenage symphonies to God" era is covered nicely, with such untouchable moments as "God Only Knows," "Good Vibrations," and "Wouldn`t It Be Nice." The fact that the band didn`t dry up and blow away after the 1960s is not lost on SOUNDS OF SUMMER either, as witnessed by the inclusion of Chuck Berry cover "Rock and Roll Music" and the latter-day summer-fun hit "Kokomo."

Customer Reviews
I bought this CD as a gift for my mfather-in-law who is an avid Beach Boys fan. Not only was the delivery prompt and the quality great, but he was thrilled. He said that he was so glad to see all of the songs that he loved so much from this treasured group from his past.
If you love to listen to the Beach Boys this is one CD you must add to your collection; or if you love Summer songs you won't be dissappointed. Also great as party music for all seasons.

My daughter recently opened a tanning salon and we needed "beachy" music to be played so I purchased the Beach Boys CD for grand opening. Of course when I was growing up in the 60's the Beach Boys were one of my favorites so I knew the CD would be a hit creating a great atmosphere for her business. Wonderful CD with all the great songs of the Beach Boys!
