Still, there are minor complaints. Only 1 song from Love You, L.A. Light Album and Beach Boys 85. Not to mention only one song from KTSA. Then there's two songs from M.I.U. and 15 Big Ones. WTF?! Also, there's not a single Dennis Wilson song, which is also a complaint. Other than that, it's a great album to get, and as I said, the best one in the Greatest Hits Trilogy. 4.5 out of 5.

Maybe it's because I'm english, but it's nice to have the 7" HCTN

Lots of stuff missing just like 1+2 so for us fanatics this is not enough.. But an excellent primer .. I love the Brother logo.. I wonder who picked that out..? :thumbsup
Title: Re: Greatest Hits Volume Three: Best of the Brother Years 1970–1986 Post by: Lonely Summer on May 25, 2016, 12:22:08 AM Weird comp. Can't decide if it wants to be an album sampler, or singles only. Very heavy on the 70-73 material, should have had a few more 80's tracks (Still Cruisin', Somewhere Near Japan, Rock 'N' Roll to the Rescue, It's Gettin' Late). I mean, I could compile an excellent cd using ONLY Sunflower/Surf's Up/Holland material...but that wasn't the point here.

Here's a much better tracklisting adding some songs that actually deserve to be in a compilation of "The Best" Just Once in My Life? Brian sounds horrible there, and I usually love Carl's vocals, but he is singing in too low a register there. I'm not a big fan of 15BO or Love You.Add Some Music This Whole World All I Wanna Do Forever Long Promised Road Feel Flows Disney Girls Surf's Up Till I Die Marcella All This Is That Sail On Sailor The Trader California Saga: California (album version) Rock and Roll Music (single version) It's OK Just Once In My Life The Night Was So Young Let Us Go On This Way Honkin Down The Highway I'll Bet He's Nice Come Go With Me Lady Lynda Good Timin' Goin' On Title: Re: Greatest Hits Volume Three: Best of the Brother Years 1970–1986 Post by: AaronReturn2005 on July 02, 2020, 02:42:38 AM California Dreaming still doesn't belong here, because it was recorded, and released on a Capitol compilation. Also, where's Lady Lynda?
Title: Re: Greatest Hits Volume Three: Best of the Brother Years 1970–1986 Post by: Rocker on July 20, 2020, 12:36:54 PM Love this CD! As mentioned there are things about the tracklist that you can find questionable, but I like it the way it is. You get the single versions of "California", "Rock'n'Roll music", "It's ok" and "Here comes the night". Even the imo lesser songs sound good on this comp ("Sumahama"). The artwork is probably the best on any Beach Boys release ever. It captures the full blown creativity of the early 70s, the nostalgia of the latter 70s, the spiritual connection of the Beach Boys as an american legend with the untouched environment of an ideal California.
The album is regularly in my CD player (yes, I still do use those things) and makes it seem like their 70s output was much more coherent than it actually was. Weird comp. Can't decide if it wants to be an album sampler, or singles only. Very heavy on the 70-73 material, should have had a few more 80's tracks (Still Cruisin', Somewhere Near Japan, Rock 'N' Roll to the Rescue, It's Gettin' Late). I mean, I could compile an excellent cd using ONLY Sunflower/Surf's Up/Holland material...but that wasn't the point here. I'm not sure, but could it have something to do with the Brother Label? The 80s stuff mainly wasn't released via Brother, was it? I really don't know (or care much) about those things. |
