Search on GEMM |  | Hmm. I'm going to have to put my neck out and say this really isn't such a great disc. It has enough in the way of outtakes and curiosities to satisfy a Beach Boys geek. And I'm nearly a Beach Boys geek. But not enough of one to really enjoy this. I think at the end of the day my problem with the disc is that it highlights the cheesier side of the band's work.
I bought this compilation shortly after it came out in order to hear the outtake of 'Til I die', one of my favorite Beach Boys tracks. It's interesting, to be sure; twice as long, with a vibraphone very high in the mix. Also interesting are alternate mixes of 'Surfer Girl', 'Kiss me, Baby' and 'California Girls', and rehearsal version of 'Good vibrations' and 'God only knows'.
Less enjoyable are the live tracks - 'Long promised road' has lost its studio magic, and tracks like 'Wonderful' and 'Darlin' were never really to my taste anyway. | Beach Boys recommendations at Musical Taste
