The second sides ("B" or "2") of the UK GHs have the best overall groupings, though there are some weak(er) links there:
Side B
Do You Wanna Dance?*
Help Me, Rhonda [US2]
California Girls [US2]
Barbara Ann [US2]
You're So Good to Me
Sloop John B*
God Only Knows [US3]
Side B
The Girl from New York City*
(arguable, though--love it when the BBs rock out)
Girl Don't Tell Me [US3]
The Little Girl I Once Knew [US3]
Mountain of Love*
Here Today*
Wouldn't It Be Nice*
Good Vibrations [US3]
Side 2
Darlin'
Please Let Me Wonder [US2]
Let Him Run Wild [US2]
Country Air*
I Know There's an Answer*
Friends*
Heroes and Villains
You could make a great single disk out of these, though you'd still be missing some seminal tunes.
I'd run it chronologically:
a--Rhonda/Please Let Me Wonder/Girl From NYC/California Girls/Let Him Run Wild/Girl Don't Tell Me/The Little Girl I Once Knew
b--Wouldn't It Be Nice/Sloop John B./God Only Knows/I Know There's An Answer/Here Today/Good Vibrations/Heroes and Villains
A little Pet Sounds-heavy with the deep cuts, but can you argue the quality? It would be good to get the Wild Honey songs on (which could be done with a CD, of course) plus "Friends" and "Do It Again", but I think you'd have to ditch the chrono approach.
Side 3 of UK GH Vol 3 is really a nice sequence, even if it doesn't strictly make sense as a GH package. Was for a long time my "last side of the night."
Seeing Girl From NYC on there made me smile. It doesn't get enough love. To me it is one of their all time early classics.
That Barbara Ann though, what a drag. First couple of times hearing it, okay, but after that - enough! One of their all time early groaners IMO.

I recall a European compilation... two double sets... I think 62/66 66/69? Or something like that? They had interesting track lineups. Does anyone remember these? I saw them in record stores in the late 1970s.

Yeah, like
Surfin' U.S.A.
Surfer Girl
A whole side of
Wild Honey
but no Darlin'
Do It Again
The Little Girl I Once Knew
Please Let Me Wonder
The Warmth of the Sun
A whole side of
Smiley Smile
but no Heroes and Villains
This really does read like someone got to make their own personal selection with no consideration given to what had been a hit. Either that, or all of the above songs flopped in France.

A certain ditty lauding the local maidens is also conspicuous by its absence.

But the presence of the interesting rarity "Your Summer Coupe" makes up for it.

I was readiing the sleeve notes of the third UK one today, written by Dave Travis. One paragraph says: 'During the months that followed [the realease of Heroes and Villains] came an intriguing sequence of singles, which enjoyed fluctuating chart success although all made the Top Thirty: 'Smiley Smile', the psychaedelic-influenced 'Wild Honey', the more succesful 'Darling' and the slow-waltz tempo 'Friends.'
So what's this single 'Smiley Smile' then?

Yes, that was the time (late 70s) when colored vinyl was all the rage. I know I'm being lazy by not doing a search (it's very late here...best excuse I've got!!), but is there a thread that discusses all the BB's colored vinyl product?
Leave it to the French to have the strangest "deep cut" BB compilations ever!!

Strange, yes...more in the realm of outrageous misrepresentation...but it makes a lot more "sense" content-wise than those French 2-fers.
I'm presuming the CD version of this added cuts 15-20 since they were clearly post-'65.
I'm not running out to drop any $$ on either version, mind you, but I kinda like the idea of it...just ridiculous enough to be appealing!!
