The Beach Boys - Endless Summer flac album

Endless Summer is a compilation album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on June 24, 1974. Its unexpected success bore immediate consequences for the band's then-progressive musical direction.

It was the summer of 1974, and the Beach Boys were still trying to get themselves back on track commercially after a seven-year commercial dry spell, when this double LP of their 1963-1966 material (all but one cut pre-dating Pet Sounds) came along and did the job. Endless Summer, which was assembled in consultation with Mike Love, soared to number one and charted high over two subsequent summers (spending three years on the charts, the longest of any of the group's albums), and attracted the enthusiastic attention of millions of listeners too young to have bought their singles back when.

In the UK, the album performed better, peaking at number 29.

The Beach Boys - Endless Summer (1999). Endless summer, well I wish there was such a thing. The BB were one of the relatively few groups that fired my imagination as a kid. The idea of a life devoted to the sea, cars, and, I suppose, girls (I was only 10) seemed to be perfect. This music epitomised that era. I bought this recently because my daughter (aged 12) has now discovered surfing and it seemed right to introduce her to this style of music. We bought a 'best of' album which has all the favourites, this album, however, has a little overlap but half of it is new to me. The 'vibe' is still good though.

The Beach Boys: Album Guide. America’s longest-running band - from surf rock to studio symphonies and beyond. The Beach Boys pose for a portrait in 1964. From left to right, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Brian Wilson. Gems/Redferns/Getty Images. The Beach Boys are America’s most legendary rock & roll saga-and one of its most turbulent, with a twisted family history at the heart of it. The Wilson brothers were suburban California boys: Brian, the haunted pop genius hearing the harmonies in his head. Carl, the shy kid with the heavenly voice. Endless Summer has all the early hits – from the joyride of I Get Around to the moody gloom of In My Room. It cuts off before Pet Sounds, but it still remains their essential anthology – if only because you’re guaranteed not to run into Kokomo.
