4. The Beach Boys' Party! Uncovered And Unplugged is on vinyl. Stripping the original album of its overdubs, it presents The Beach Boys as never heard before.

6. The third part of the Beach Boys 2-in-1 rerelease series. It starts with the 4th album Little Deuce Coupe, with almost exclusively songs about cars - the first 3 albums were almost exclusively about surfing.A fun collection, even if 4 songs (some of the best) were released on previous albums and it probably came to this from the pressure of Capitol records.

7. Not only that, the three best cuts -- "Little Deuce Coupe," "," and "Shut Down" -- had already been issued on LP. The most noteworthy of the other tracks was the Top Ten hit "Be True to Your School," whose fine tune and arrangement are marred by sappy lyrics of faith and loyalty to one's high school.4/

8. A "theme" album focusing on Southern California's burgeoning car culture,'Little Deuce Coupe' took its cue from a successful contemporary Capitol compilation (Shut Down) and gathers four of the band's previously released car songs--"," "Little Deuce Coupe," "Shut Down," and "Our Car Club"--and surrounds them with eight new originals and a tribute to James Dean titled "A Young Man Is Gone," .

9. The Beach Boys' Little Douce Coupe album on original Capitol Mono LP T This copy has some surface scuffs and light marks, but as far as I can tell it plays almost mint perfect. I listened to the whole glorious thing and there was not a single pop and barely even the slightest faint little tiny tick or crackle between songs.
