The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys have long been the world's leading, harmonious voice of summer fun, with an ocean's swell of universally-loved songs about the beach, surfing, hot rods, and in no small measure, girls and sun-kissed romance. 20 of The Beach Boys' best love songs, from tender ballads to boisterous romps, have been gathered for Summer Love Songs, a new 20-track CD and digital collection to be released May 19 by Capitol/EMI. Three classic tracks have been mixed in stereo for the first time, exclusively for this release, and three others have received new stereo mixes. Two of the new stereo mixes have been created from long lost, newly-recovered analog multi-track masters. A rare track, previously unreleased in the U.S. and long out-of-print in the U.K., is also included.
Two of Summer Love Songs' new stereo mixes, for "Don't Worry, Baby" and "Why Do Fools Fall In Love," have been created from newly-recovered analog multi-track masters that went missing from the Western Recorders studio in Los Angeles after they were first recorded in the mid-1960s. These original 3-track analog masters were recently recovered by The Beach Boys and Capitol/EMI for the first time since they were used for the band's Shut Down, Vol. 2 album in 1964. The collection's four other tracks with new stereo mixes are "Hushabye," "I'm So Young," "Good To My Baby," and "Time To Get Alone."
Summer Love Songs also includes "Fallin' In Love," a song written and recorded by Dennis Wilson during the Beach Boys' Sunflower album sessions in 1970. The track has never before been released in the U.S. and has long been out-of-print in the U.K. (where it was released as "Lady"). This track has also been mixed in stereo for the first time.
The Mike Love-led Beach Boys band will be on tour all summer long, tour dates available here.
