The Beach Boys have kicked off their 60th anniversary celebrations with a huge retrospective comprising of three records and 80 tracks. There’s no shortage of material—afterall, this group (which was formed in 1961 by the Wilson brothers) released a whopping nine albums between 1963 and 1965 alone! This release is based on their greatest hits album, Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys (2003), so as you might expect it contains all their biggest tracks (Get AroundSurfin’ USA, Surfin SafariFun Fun, and the timeless Good Vibrations). They released their first single (and first hit), Surfin, in December 1961, and the doo-wop track immediately attracted the attention of Capitol Records, who would transform the song into a real money-making machine. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 60 years since we signed to Capitol Records and released our first album Surfin’ Safari”, the group explains in a joint statement. “We were just kids in 1962 and could have never dreamed about where our music would take us, that it would have such a big impact on the world, still be loved, and continue to be discovered by generation after generation.” This release was overseen by official Beach boys archivists Mark Linettand and Alan Boyd, and it’s just perfect for the summer. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
