Some Spotify recreations of some BB compilations

[AaronReturn2005]

I'm pretty happy to be welcomed here ("Well, you're welcome"), so I thought I might share some Spotify recreations of some popular BB compilations that have not been presented correctly through popular Spotify lists yet. The idea came when I wanted to make a 20 Golden Greats playlist for a friend, and it just escalated from there, sort of.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/64YLrO1DnXdDh548sRlXwV?si=4lPc8UOFQUqM5Bhzo1838g --> 20 Golden Greats (LP Version. Barbara Ann is presented as the album version with the intro cut off (starts from the first "a bar-bar-bar" like the single edit), so I put the Party version there)
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0lrB9PfWRBsDwIcx5Huy1o?si=FPTU-Rh-RvSWTSRDjzgvbg --> CD version of above. A cuck-up must've happened when sourcing Help Me Rhonda and Barbara Ann, but at least the compilers put a stereo mix of You're So Good To Me there.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0QGJEUsK260Df2WJ0AmTz7?si=dpuSzSHHQi-NT9BcQgCcwg --> Sunshine Dream. No playlists come up for it currently, but losing the Medley doesn't ruin the vibe as its basically worthless.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FaPHb85Zdd0bZfCExrtB2?si=kMO4M1aiRHWvUX5jbj-K4Q --> Greatest Hits 1970 (unsure of version of Barbara Ann included. Also, I don't know if Cottonfields works for any of you)

What a strange compilation to release in 1967. Capitol guys who did this couldn't tell their arse from their elbow. They certainly knew very little about what music would sell in 1967.

Hey thank you both for posting/creating these!

I think another good thread would be to compile any Spotify playlists that are fantasy albums of The Beach Boys (how some would've compiled SMiLE or Landlocked era material, etc). I'll post mine soon if I can get around to it.

Here is an all-mono version of Endless Summer that I did where I used the 45 mixes for the singles.
