60th Anniversary Vinyl 2LP Reissue with Remastered Audio, 13 New Stereo Mixes, and Updated Photos & Liner Notes!

The Beach Boys’ triple-platinum certified 2003 hits collection Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys offers up thirty of their landmark hits across two LPs. All but five of the songs date from their 1962-1969 peak and every number was a Top 40 hit. Youthful classics, surfing songs and Pet Sounds groundbreakers all appear here including “God Only Knows,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “In My Room,” “Don’t Worry Baby,” “Sloop John B,” “Barbara Ann” and “California Girls.”

UMe has updated the classic Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys in celebration of the band’s 60th anniversary with remastered audio, 13 new stereo mixes (including one first-time stereo mix), and updated photos and liner notes.

The Beach Boys say in a statement: “It’s hard to believe it’s been 60 years since we signed to Capitol Records and released our first album, Surfin’ Safari. 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 is a huge milestone that we’re all very honored to have achieved. And to our incredible fans, forever and new, we look forward to sharing even more throughout the year.”
