Title: Obscure Australian / New Zealand Compilation Post by: NBC68 on December 18, 2016, 04:10:20 AM I am searching for the track listing of a Beach Boys compilation that was released in Australia and New Zealand in the 1980s.
From what I recall: - it was released on cassette only (double cassette) - it had 60 tracks (15 per side) - it may have been called The Beach Boys Collection (or something equally generic) - it was released circa 1988 - It featured Rock & Roll To The Rescue and California Dreaming (so it was post-1986's Made In U.S.A) - The rest of the album was a mix of hits, and lesser-known tracks (everything from I Get Around and Good Vibrations to How She Boogalooed It, Summertime Blues, and even some of the instrumental tracks from the early albums) - The cover photo was from the 1985 photo shoot featured on the back cover of The Beach Boys (1985) album It was a great compilation and was really my entry to becoming a Beach Boys fan, however, I gave it away when I moved into CDs. 25+ years later, I'd like to make a playlist of the tracks, however, despite lots of searching online, I have not been able to find a copy anywhere, or even a listing t confirm its existence. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, NBC68 Title: Re: Obscure Australian / New Zealand Compilation Post by: bringahorseinhere? on December 18, 2016, 04:16:00 AM it's probably this bad boy listed here:

Thanks so much for solving this so quickly! I have been searching for these details for a few months, (including regularly checking out eBay) - and I'm assuming that it must be fairly rare to come by. It certainly wasn't your run of the mill compilation, and it provided a wide cross-section of the 1960s Beach Boys (with a handful of 80s tracks for good measure). Thanks again! 😊 Title: Re: Obscure Australian / New Zealand Compilation Post by: bringahorseinhere? on December 18, 2016, 05:11:22 AM absolute pleasure! I had never seen that comp to be honest, so I had to have a look.
quite a great tracklist actually! the hits, the new stuff, and some deep album tracks. enjoy!

Does anyone have a tracklisting?
