According to someone who would know.

Seriously, there was a Beach Boys Love You condom?!  Amazing.

Aye, quite an eclectic track list compared to many GHits packages. And good to see the TWGMTR branding carried over as a theme. Wonder if it'll have a UK release?

Strikes me as a good way to bring the casual listener up to speed with what The BB's are doing now.

Yeah, pretty cool list. Good to know "You're Welcome" is one of their 36 greatest hits!

Not a bad compilation, really. Sure, no real interest to us, but some interesting selections nonetheless.

It's all about good times, fast cars, summer romance and good, clean fun !
Murry would be proud.....  Grin


But there are indeed some interesting choices. "Wonderful" "You're welcome".... I wonder if the track selection was about the hits plus some songs that the company was told would be played on the tour. We would get "Vege-tables" "'til I die" "Cool, cool water" and "Don't go near the water" then (plus the two songs mentioned above)..... Well, probably not


The sales of this box won't count for TWGMTR, will they ?

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

What does it say on the packaging, under "That's Why God…"? "Chronicle Edition"?

I don't get why "Rock and Roll Music" keeps showing up on these.  It's quite unnecessary.

Indeed, definitely should have put Forever instead.

Don't Go Near the Water! This compilation is a waste of money since I have all the songs already.

I wonder if Vega-Tables and You're Welcome will use the mono or stereo mix. If it's the latter, won't that be the first time those songs have made it to CD in that capacity?

Nice to see Reader's Digest getting into the Beach Boys' compilation business.  Will there also be compilations to come from Weekly Reader, Mad Magazine and Boys Life?
