Fifty Beach Boy Tunes Invade Billboard Top 100

[guitarfool2002]

Guess You Had To Be There was my choice for a single from the get-go, to me it was the most market-friendly song with the best crossover potential especially to crack the contemporary country market and even the modern hits/mix market that plays Sugar Ray next to Pink/Nate Reuss next to Kelly Clarkson. It's the one I enjoy listening to the most, that classic Brian shuffle and a catchy as hell infectious sound. Maybe there's still time to spin it off. It is a no-brainer as far as a single, IMO.

... or you could have looked on 10452, where the UK chart placings have been since March 2010 - and they include the UK EP positions as well !

But, like any wise researcher, I shall double check.

Thanks. I note one discrepancy with Catalogue number: Getcha Back is listed by the OCC as MIUCT0749

[Lonely Summer]

... except maybe A ROCK AND ROLL ALBUM!

I believe its worth buying '50 Big Ones' JUST for the mix of Darlin'  (and the single mix of 'Isn't It Time')

By the way its at No 82 on the chart

Hi Rob, except that this Darlin' mix has the missing "Arlin'" that was later corrected on Made In California.

And the single mix of "Isn't It Time" is ALSO available on aforementioned MIC box set! Along with lots of other goodies! (hint, hint)

The single mix is slightly faster on MIC than on 50 Big Ones.
