Surfer, is the David Spade avatar pic a reference to his appearance in Police Academy 4, during which his scene skateboarding in the mall had Brian's "Let's Go to Heaven in My Car" playing in the background?
Or just simply a big David Spade fan?

No way the world could be that lucky

Yeah! Clean out your ears!

The Capitol Years is a 4-CD box set (106 tracks) released in 1999 which documents The Beach Boys' career with Capitol Records. It was originally released in 1980 as a 6-LP boxed set, including an LP of Brian Wilson's non-Beach Boys productions for Capitol.

What if Surfer IS David Spade,,,,

What if Surfer thinks that's Al Jardine?

And speaking of Australia, that's where my Capitol Years box set came from!

[TonyW]

WOW! So did mine! 

[Mikie]

What a coincidence!

Bought my Australasian copy not long after purchasing 20 Golden Greats. I listened to it for months on end, absorbing both the music and Peter Reum's notes; a great musical education.

It's also probably one of the few BB compilations that includes "Never Learn Not To Love."

Hmmm, I'm missing the Australian LP set, but I have the LPs from UK and Japan.
Also have the UK cassette issue with ethe BW Productions.
These seem to have been made without the BW Productions:  6 cassette Australian booklet, a 4 Cassette Australian, and a 4 cassette Readers Digest ( N.S.W.) Australian.  
I guess they didn't make any 8-track sets...

And also the first time the single mixes of "Be True To Your School" and "Cottonfields" were included on an LP (the later was also included on Euro copies of Sunflower of course) Also included were "You're Welcome" and "Auld Lang Syne" (without Dennis' narrative). And the Dutch mix of "Bluebirds Over The Mountain" with prominent percussion up front. And only the second time "Break Away" was on an album after SOA in '75.

I gravitated right away to the Brian Wilson Productions album. 17 songs of Brian Wilson Productive bliss. I think all of the albums in the set were pressed on thick virgin vinyl. If not, it sure seemed like it. Sonically the mono and stereo tracks sound beautiful! Originally manufactured in the UK on World Records, a subsidiary of EMI, and also in Australia and Japan fo sho. If you didn't have all these rare singles in the collection, this #7 BW Productions album in the set was the one to own. Around the early 2,000's, the Brian Wilson Productions disc was available for sale separately.

Surfer, I would like to know more details about this "Capitol Years" CD you have (I'm assuming it is "Capitol" like the record label, and not "Capital" like the economic term).  I collect Beach Boys CDs, and the only "Capitol Years" that I'm aware of is the 4-CD (or 6-LP) boxed set that is referenced by the other posters above.  A quick Google search doesn't turn up any one-CD release called "Capitol Years."  If you can, please post a picture of the cover, or the catalog number that runs down the spine of the CD case.

Yep, I am very familiar with the 6-LP set, and its 4-CD counterpart.  Was specifically asking about Surfer's single CD that he got for Christmas.

Learn English and how to type it.  I don't read with my ears...but now that I think about it, maybe that's what your problem is.

The Capitol Years is a great compilation.

To the best of my knowledge, one thing really unique about The Capitol Years 4 CD set is that it is the only CD release containing the Duophonic versions of numerous BB songs.

Looking forward to the review, Surfer!
