Previous Beach Boys compilations scattered their biggest hits over a number of albums. This well chosen Greatest Hits brought them all together on one LP for the first time. (UK:5)

"A lot of people only listen to music they can relate to, but in my case, it doesn't matter. If I like a song, I like it, and this LP is packed full of good songs. I don't surf, care about fast cars, have school pride, and whatever. But, these songs are still catchy, and great to listen to."

"The Beach Boys voices are so easy to like and if you want to be in a good, happy, optimistic mood - the collection of classic Beach Boy hits on this LP will definitely get you there. They are down in history as one of the groups with the best harmony and most uplifting tunes."

"A fantastic collection of the Beach Boys' best-known songs. A very fun album that is especially enjoyable to listen to sitting on the beach or driving around on a summer day."

"Always great listening to these old tunes especially in the summer. A reminder of the good old days when one could find pleasure in small and simpler things." "You can't beat The Beach Boys when you want to listen to some great summer classics out on the porch with a cool drink. These are Beach Boys songs that everyone seems to know by heart."

"I listened to this set yesterday afternoon and I found it to be a very refreshing experience. Most of their early songs make you feel like you are at the beach, and the later cuts are sensational, especially God Only Knows. It’s a combination of good '60s fun and musical genius. I believe that Good Vibrations is one of the greatest records in rock and roll history, an epic recording from beginning to end."

"The Beach Boys are a classic band. Their harmonies, the sheer genius that is Brian Wilson, and their melodies are some of the best in rock and pop history."

"The Beach Boys are as essential as the sun in the summer when it comes to that season. These tunes are ingrained into our consciousness with an indelible stamp."
