Best Of – THE BEACH BOYS*****

Surfin’ Safari/Surfin’ USA/Little Deuce Coupe/Fun Fun Fun/I Get Around/All Summer Long/In My Room/Do You Wanna Dance/Help Me Rhonda/California Girls/Barbara Ann/You’re So Good To Me/Sloop John B/God Only Knows US version has different song listing as shown on sleeve.

Best Of was the first compilation package from The Beach Boys and mostly covers their surf, girls and cars period before the music started to get more complex and serious. (US:8 UK:2)

"If you like 1962-1965 Beach Boys (the girls, cars, and surf era) and hate the 1966 and beyond Beach Boys, this disc is for you. It's got all of the classics from the early era and all of the stuff you heard on the radio, and then some."

"For the time period, it's great. It's got all of the big hits, plus some fan favourites like You're So Good To Me and Wendy, which are among my favourite Beach Boys songs."

"This one, Best Of The Beach Boys is a far dated compilation containing the pre-Bruce Johnston era (1962-1965), or for a better term, the pre California Girls era. This was arguably the height of The Beach Boys popularity, with screaming girls everywhere they went and #1 records one after the other."
