Notes
This is for the US release with a different tracklisting than the UK version (The Beach Boys - Best Of The Beach Boys).
"Best of The Beach Boys" is their first compilation album, released in the summer of 1966 just two months after "Pet Sounds". It includes many of their most popular songs from 1963 to 1965. The album reached #8 on U.S. charts and soon went gold.
The British version was released in mid-1966 with a revised track order and included 14 tracks, instead of the usual 12 found on American albums, reaching #2 on British charts.

-
Overall great record, could do better on the track selection. -
For being a "duophonic" stereo album, this truly sounds excellent. Comparing most of these tracks with their true stereo counterparts (Surfin USA, Surfer Girl, All Summer Long are all I have in stereo at the moment) I believe they're not all duophonic. The ones that stood out as blatantly duophonic and a bit muddy were from All Summer Long (Little Honda and Wendy). If I'm not mistaken, the others may be sourced from their true stereo counterparts. Either I'm suddenly a sucker for Capitol's duophonic or I've lost my mind. I had zero expectations from this Starline reissue, but it B A N G S - One of my favorite Beach Boys compilations I own sonically and sequentially.
-
please list this correctly as FAKE STEREO ie Duophonic This release is NOT stereo and not worth the puck its pressed on note the D prefix it might help!
-
Totally different version; now containing not 12 or 14, but 16 tracks,
including the Medley and Don't Worry Baby -
purchased in sealed condition $40 B side has some unique song not on other albums (I think)
-
Edited one year agoVery good sounding. 4-1/2 out of 5. I bet the mono version of this would sound excellent. This edition is great if you can find one.
-
Really great sounding pressing, I was on the fence about buying it but it was cheap. Very happy -
a canadian copy exists on 8 track cassette, this could be one of them
-
Edited 9 years agoThis appears to be the stereo version of the Capital /Starline lp ****HOWEVER*** it says "For Stereo Phonograph on front. -
I have a slightly green copy that was manufactured by RCA under license from Capitol.....
