Description of Sounds Of Summer - The Very Best Of The Beach Boys:
The cynic may question just how many Beach Boys greatest hits albums are enough. Everyone else, however, will appreciate what makes Sounds of Summer unique. This is the first single-disc collection to feature such a large cross section of hits from the group's entire career, spanning 1962's "Surfin' Safari" through 1988's "Kokomo." All 30 tracks, spanning several label changes, were Billboard Top 40 hits and are probably now as identifiable as the national anthem to anyone with radio or TV access. The fact that the tracks aren't in chronological order helps make for a fresh listening experience, as does the crisp digital sound. And yet these songs--even those that are more than four decades old--always sound strangely fresh and will likely remain so as long as there are beaches, young people, and that symbolic season of freedom and dreams. Which is to say that the title here passes the "truth in advertising" test. Perfect for those casual fans not yet ready to spring for the individual albums, Sounds of Summer is in many ways a better representation of this legendary band's art than Elvis' 30 No. 1 Hits and The Beatles 1 were of the King and the Fab Four. --Bill Holdship
Sounds Of Summer - The Very Best Of The Beach Boys Reviews:
One Great CD! 
2009-12-06 - This CD is full of the hits of the Beach Boys. In my opinion, one of the greatest groups of all time. The harmonies are heavenly and have been an inspiration to many other groups. I HIGHLY recommend this CD.
Good
2009-11-24 - I just can't bad mouth the Beach Boys. Too much a part of my childhood.
Sounds of Greatness
2009-11-13 - What a joy it was to listen to this compilation of some of the greatest Beach Boys hits. I found myself dancing around the house, reliving memories of past beach days and just soaking up the sounds of summer. You sing along, dance along and just wrap yourself in the talents of the Beach Boys music. The CD lived up to all expectations and beyond. Immerse yourself in this music and let it take you on its journey from the early hits of their beginnings through to the later hits that still resound with that uncomparable style that only the Beach Boys can give us. The very best of the Beach Boys is the VERY BEST!
AHHH! the good ol' days!
2009-10-08 - A much simpler time! America was strong, both physical and financial,nobody messed with the USA in those days,they knew better. We had real Presidents who made all the right decisions,and didn't talk to our enemies,or try to talk their way out of a fight! real men for real times! And we all had time to party and have fun! I sure miss those days where we could all sleep well at night, and made more money than it cost to live. AHHH the good ol' days,back then credit meant you didn't know how to manage your money, and were considered a bum if you had to charge something. Real men paid cash on the barrel head! You didn't owe jack to no one!And if you couldn't afford it, you did without like responsible adults! This cd will bring back those bygone days to refresh your memory of what made America great! Nothin like good vibrations to jog the mind back to reality. Thanks amazon!
Awesome Collection
2009-09-26 - This is a very nice looking and very high quality Beach Boy album. It has all my favorite songs by them which sound great! California Girls, I Get around and Don't Worry Baby to name a few. There are only a few mono songs. There are thirty songs on the album. This is a great deal!
