A musical legacy that began in Hawthorne, California and
went on to conquer the world. Analogue Productions presents the ultimate
pressings of 14 essential Beach Boys albums! Mastered by Kevin Gray, most from
the original master tapes, now presented on Hybrid Stereo/Mono SACD, these are
awesome recordings to experience.
Apart from Surfin' Safari, which was mono only, the Beach
Boys did turn in stereo masters on all of their early albums up until 1965.
The stereo editions of Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, were all mixed in stereo by their own
preferred engineer, Chuck Britz, ostensibly under the group's supervision
"Brian may or may not have been present for those
mixing sessions evidence suggests that he trusted Chuck's skills enough to let
him prepare those mixes on his own but the group held onto their multitrack
tapes and delivered stereo masters to Capitol, rather than allowing Capitol to
prepare their own stereo versions. Later, when Brian was only delivering mono
masters, Capitol would prepare the Duophonic pseudo stereo editions for the
stereo market," says Alan Boyd, producer and Beach Boys' archivist.
The Beach Boys' practice of double-tracking their vocals
really lends itself to stereo mixes. Split left and right, as they are on a lot
of those early stereo versions, those doubled vocal parts can really envelop
the listener, surrounding them with Wilsons, Loves and Jardines!
All of the newer stereo mixes on these remastered albums Summer Days were done by Mark Linett on behalf of the Beach
Boys.
The Beach Boys Surfin' USA Hybrid Stereo & Mono SACD
Surfin' USA was the Beach Boys' real breakthough album,

The Beach Boys LITTLE DEUCE COUPE Hybrid Stereo & Mono SACD
Released just one
month after the Surfer Girl album, Little Deuce Coupe was, incredibly, the
Beach Boys' fourth album in less than a year. Brian Wilson and the band
responded by turning in arguably their most consistent effort to date — and a
concept album, to boot.
Little Deuce Coupe expanded the band's subject matter to
encompass 1963 America's burgeoning love affair with hot rods, surrounding
previously released cuts such as the title track, '"409," and others
with strong new material (much of it cowritten by Wilson and a DJ, Roger
Christian). A highpoint: the a cappella James Dean tribute "A Young Man Is
Gone" (a reworking of Bobby Troup's beautiful "Their Hearts Were Full
of Spring"), a prime example of Wilson's arranging genius and the band's
vocal prowess. "Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring" had been a standard
for the vocal group The Four Freshmen, whose lush and distinctive jazz-based
vocal arrangements had a huge influence on Brian's musical development.

The Beach Boys Smiley Smile Hybrid Stereo & Mono SACD
"After the much-discussed, uncompleted Smile project which was supposed to take the innovations of Pet Sounds to even grander heights collapsed, the Beach Boys released Smiley Smile in its place. (To clarify much confusion: Smiley Smile is an entirely different piece of work than Smile would have been, although some material that ended up on Smiley Smile would have most likely been used on Smile. Also, much of Smiley Smile was in fact recorded after the Smile sessions had ceased.)," writes AllMusic
For fans expecting something along the lines of Sgt. Pepper (and there were many of them), Smiley Smile was a major disappointment, replacing psychedelic experimentation with spare, eccentric miniatures. Heard now, outside of such unrealistic expectations, it's a rather nifty, if rather slight, effort that's avant garde in the extreme. "'Wind Chimes,' 'Wonderful,' 'Vegetables,' and much of the rest is low-key psychedelic quirkiness, with abundant fine harmonies and unusual arrangements. The standouts, nonetheless, were two recent hit singles in which Brian Wilson's ambitions were still intact: The inscrutable mini-opera 'Heroes and Villains,' and the number one hit 'Good Vibrations,' one of the few occasions where the group managed to be recklessly experimental and massively commercial at the same time." -AllMusic

The Beach Boys SURF'S UP Hybrid Stereo ONLY SACD
Surf's Up hit the Top
30 on its first release, reaching No. 29 on the Billboard LP charts — the
highest chart placement the group had had since 1967. At the time of its
release, Surf's Up was hailed by many as a comeback for The Beach Boys, who
were beginning to attract raves for their live performances, including highly
acclaimed sets at New York's legendary Carnegie Hall.
Carl Wilson makes solid contributions on Surf's Up with
"Long Promised Road" and "Feel Flows," but the album's twin
jewels are both from Brian Wilson — "Til I Die" and the title track —
one of the centerpieces of the then-unreleased Smile (cowritten by lyricist Van
Dyke Parks and here given that album's "Child Is Father to the Man"
as a glorious coda.)
Surf's Up track "A Day in the Life of a Tree" is
the first in a series of Brian's songs that close the album. It's
simultaneously one of Brian Wilson's most deeply touching and unusual
compositions; he is the narrator and object of the song (though not the
vocalist; co-writer Jack Rieley lends a hand), lamenting his long life amid the
pollution and grime of a city park while the somber tones of a pipe organ build
atmosphere. "Til I Die," isn't the love song the title suggests; it's
a haunting, fatalistic piece of pop surrealism that appeared to signal Brian's
retirement from active life.
