The Party album is my least favorite 1960's era non-compilation LP by the Beach Boys. But having said that, I still enjoy it here and there, and I absolutely love the packaging of the album. Great album cover and gatefold, and very cool cut-out cards as a bonus (my copy still has the cut-out cards inside). Being a live-in-the-studio album you can feel the fun that everybody had that day. It has the genius of simplicity. However, I've always preferred hearing them doing their originals. I like the Beatles and I like 50s doo-wop, but I usually prefer the originals (and sorry to say I'm not a Dylan fan). I love to hear the Beach Boys goofing off and being silly, which is my favorite part of this LP (even more than the music on it). For me this LP is only a 3. It was a success at the time of its release being their last top 10 LP for eleven years probably because from this point on their albums appealed more to adults and not really teenagers.

Missed this due to modem trouble. The 45 is one of my all-time favourite BB tracks. I used to have it blasting out of my transistor down at the mouse farm back in the day. And I bought it as soon as I could. Someone once described music by The Jesus and Mary Chain as "a joyous racket". The expression fits "Barbara Ann" (the single) to perfection.

Yes, the single version of Barbara Ann is the one song that works in the 'party' format.

As for Satisfaction. 3. Better than I thought it would be.

Satisfaction

It's alright. I was excited to hear it when I first bought the Party Uncovered And Unplugged cd. Nothing special though. Not bad, not great. THREE.

Another 1, I'm afraid. It does absolutely nothing for me. Otis did it best (yes, better than the Stones, in my opinion)...

Cool to see the Al track to get 2 "5"s.

The next song's 5 - I liked the intro to this even better than "California Girls"  beautiful intro. It sounds very kaleidoscopic, for lack of better description. Kinda like Day-Glo, bright.

The Little Girl I Once Knew

FIVE

One of my favorite songs of all times! I don't know where to begin on this one. Well for one thing, I absolutely love the cyclical organ pattern in the song. The vocals are pure bliss and the bass vocal by Mike knocks me right out. I love the sound of the bass and the guitar in the intro. And I dig the "dead air" parts, even if deejays didn't. TLGIOK is complex and beautiful. Also it's my favorite part of Brian's Live At The Roxy cd. It's a perfect show opener.

A five, no doubt about that. Am I the only person here who heard it regularly when it was first released? At least one offshore pirate station (Radio London) played it a lot----they gave not a toss about no dead air. It felt quite "jazzy" to my then young ears. There was certainly nothing even remotely like it around at the time.

I once knew someone who would have been quite happy if the BB's career had ended with "TLGIOK"...

John Lennon loved the song so much he said this about it when it was released:
"This is the greatest! Turn it up, turn it right up. It's GOT to be a hit. It's the greatest record I've heard for weeks. It's fantastic. I hope it will be a hit. It's all Brian Wilson. He just uses the voices as instruments. He never tours or anything. He just sits at home thinking up fantastic arrangements out of his head. Doesn't even read music. You keep waiting for the fabulous breaks. Great arrangement. It goes on and on with all different things. I hope it's a hit so I can hear it all the time."
