The ultimate pressings of the Beach Boys discography from Analogue Productions!33 1/3 RPM mono mixes created under Brian Wilson's supervisionMastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, most from the original master tapes or best sources availableLacquer plating by Gary Salstrom and 200-gram vinyl pressing by Quality Record PressingsTo meet the standards of Analogue Productions, our Beach Boys album reissues had a mission to achieve: Present the band's music the way that Brian Wilson - famed co-founder, songwriter and arranger - intended. Mono mixes created under Wilson's supervision were how the surf rockin' California crew rose to fame! And we've got 'em!For the early part of the Beach Boys career, all of their singles were mixed and mastered and released only in the mono format - they didn't release a single in stereo until 1968. In those days, hits were made on AM radio in mono. And the mono of those times worked well for Wilson, who suffers from partial deafness. Still, apart from Surfin' Safari, which was mono only, the Beach Boys did turn in stereo masters on all of their early albums up until 1965. The Beach Boys Today! was the first LP for which they only delivered a mono master.Bottom line, the mono mixes were where Brian Wilson paid intense attention, and the dedication paid off!We've taken 10 of the most classic, best-sounding Beach Boy titles ever and restored them to their mono glory!But there's no disputing that the close harmonies and one-of-a-kind rhythms of hits like ''Surfer Girl,'' ''In My Room,'' ''Little Deuce Coupe'' and more lend themselves naturally to stereo. So we've got your 2-channel needs covered with prime stereo mix versions as well. The look of each album befits its sonic superiority! Presented in ''old school'' Stoughton tip-on jackets, these time honored favorites shine brighter than the originals!''All Summer Long was notable not only for racheting up the Beach Boys' standards and essentially bidding farewell to the surf songs that inspired both their name and reputation, but also for going toe-to-toe with one of rock's most explosive phenomena - Beatlemania - and coming away victorious, with the single 'I Get Around' soaring to No. 1 in the spring of 1964. Essentially another loose concept record (revolving around the innocent hedonistic pursuits of an idyllic SoCal summer) that takes its cue from the effervescent title track, it also documents Brian's restless creativity pushing the band toward its performing peak.'' - Amazon.comTracks 1.
