I picked this CD up way back in the days when CDs were brand new.  I was blown away by the sound of the Telarc disc without compression or limiting.  The sound was unlike anything I'd heard before.

Papa Doo Run Run does an excellent job on the Beach Boy covers, not surprising with Jeffrey Foskett contributing to the vocals.  I played the heck out of this disc when I first got it, and just recently dug it out again since I've been listening to Jeffrey with Brian's current band.

A great CD, great performances all around. Great for showing off your $5000 stereo system.

I bought this disc back in the late '80s . . . Another version of "Barbara Ann" with a Dean Torrence falsetto.

I discovered it a couple of days ago at a city festival for 7€ and beat it down to 5€. A pleasant surprise. :)

I picked this CD up at Newbury Comics for $3.99 used. I was impressed with how well the band tackled all those BB songs, especilly Let Him Run Wild. Best BB tribute album I've ever heard.
