Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Seeking to Capitol-ize on their local L.A. indie-label novelty hit, "Surfin'," the Beach Boys and their nascent sound (tales of innocent SoCal hedonism set to equal parts doo-wop vocal influences and Chuck Berry licks) were produced on these initial releases by the A&R exec who signed them, Nik Venet. But if Brian Wilson's production genius was yet untapped, his songwriting knack, trademark arrangements, and soaring falsetto were already coming to the fore, even on Surfin' Safari, the band's hastily recorded, low-budget debut album--"Surfin'," "Surfin' Safari," and "409" are ample testament to his hitmeister potential. Released just five months later, Surfin' USA both insured the band's national appeal and testified to the rapid development of their harmonies on cuts such as "Farmer's Daughter" and "Lana." The band sounds more confident throughout, and Wilson hints at the greatness to come with the moody ballad "The Lonely Sea." The flip side to Wilson's fragile emotionalism is, of course, Mike Love's nasal, fun-seeking twang; those voices revolving--often tensely--around a hub of incomparable harmony became one of rock's most indelible archetypes. These are the humble, charmingly awkward beginnings of that legend. Three unreleased bonus cuts are also featured: "Cindy, Oh Cindy," "The Baker Man" (a nursery rhyme take on the Olympics' "Hully Gully"), and the nautical "Land Ahoy." The latter two tracks are notable as Brian's official producing debut. This twofer edition features comments by Brian and the astute liner notes of music historian David Leaf. --Jerry McCulley

In 1962 I was hit on the head by this wonderful music. Jeez, I can't say how many times I played "Surfin Safari" and "Surfin' USA". And every time I played them, I imagined myself out on the waves. And I didn't live far away from some of the best surf in the world. But I couldn't swim. Never learned. Both the YMCA and a determined drill instructor a few years later, couldn't get me to stay afloat. Still, songs like "Surfin' Safari", "Moon Dawg"and "Surfin"-- the harmonies, the words, they made me ... Read More

Too many people tend to review albums on their technical merit and whether the songwriting is as evolved as later projects. That's fine for critics and serious musicians, but for the vast majority of listeners the only thing that really matters is this - is the music enjoyable to listen to? A few tidbits can be thrown in about catchy hooks and witty lyrics, but the bottom line is music that isn't enjoyable to hear is going to turn people off.
That being said, on with the review.

Literally just a bunch of kids from the burbs, but one of them happened to be on FIRE, and the Fates conspired...(and who would have guessed that at nearly the very same moment across the Atlantic...)
Arguably the very first American rock and roll GROUP. Innocent and naive but with exuberance and imagination in plenty. Surfin' Safari (and its companion Surfin' USA) are monuments of the bands early proto-garage, guitar driven infancy. Ostensibly Produced by Capital Records' Nick Venet (though ... Read More

Again, it is wonderful to have these classic LP's re-mastered with the sound fresh and vibrant, minus all of the snap, crackle, and pop of an old record. When you listen to these CD's you are reminded that these guys started off as a bunch of fresh-faced, young high school boys. Basically a super-talented local garage band that rented equipment to make a demo. They came from a musically talented family, but no one then knew exactly what a genius Brian Wilson would ultimately turn out to be. In addition ... Read More

This CD features the Beach Boys first two albums.
Surfin' Safari was their first album, released in the wake of "Surfin' Safari" being a hit single. It also features "Surfin' Safari"'s great b-side "409", as well as the group's legendary first single "Surfin'" (although the track was sped up for the album). Some other good songs include "County Fair", "Ten Little Indians" and "Chug-a-Lug". The rest of the album isn't all that great.
Surfin' USA was their second album, released ... Read More
