In a sense, The Warmth of the Sun is to 2004's double-platinum Sounds of Summer as 1975's Spirit of America was to the previous year's chart-topping Endless Summer. Both Summer compilations feature the obvious hits, and their followups collect less famous--though still worthy--tracks like "Hawaii," "409," and "Little Honda." But the 21st-century collections are sequenced by the Beach Boys themselves, and that means this volume's songs are second-tier in fame only. The casual fan whose curiosity was piqued by Sounds of Summer and picks this up for "All Summer Long" will be captivated by Brian Wilson's stops on the road to Pet Sounds ("Kiss Me Baby," "Please Let Me Wonder," "Let Him Run Wild," "The Little Girl I Once Knew"), moved by the father-son collaboration "Break Away" (in many ways the Beach Boys' farewell to the '60s), and floored by a string of five songs from the early '70s--a few of which had their genesis in the ill-fated Smile project--that are a perfect showcase for the maturity the group, especially Brian and Carl, managed to attain less than a decade after penning "Pom Pom Play Girl" ("Surf's Up," "Feel Flows," "All This Is That," "'Til I Die," "Sail On, Sailor"). Taken together, these two volumes provide an extraordinary portrait of a band attempting to straddle popularity and artistic vision, spotlighting each facet just long enough to make you want more. (Collectors note: many of these songs appear in new stereo remixes--they may not be the original Brian Wilson productions as he heard them, but being able to distinctly make out the vibraphone in "Let Him Run Wild" is worth it.) --Benjamin Lukoff

Released in 2007 to compliment 'Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys,' 'The Warmth of Sun' does an adequate job of filling that role. Containing 28 tracks spanning 1962-1986 (that's 24 years), this is a solid collection containing some of the best Beach Boys music released that should have made onto 'Sounds of Summer' but were left off.
First, I'll start with the positives. It's got tracks spanning the early surf and car years of The Beach Boys ('409,' 'Little Honda,' one ... Read More

must be from the era when they were all on LSD--not what I expect from the BB

Personally speaking, most of my favorite BB songs are included on this extraordinary compilation. It's a nice package to add to your CD collection if you're a Beach Boys fan. Some of their best work is included here. Although, I would have left off 409, Why Do Fools Fall In Love, Then I Kissed Her and California Dreamin' and replaced them with Darlin', Heroes & Villains, I Can Hear Music and the stereo version of Good Vibrations. For me, that would have been the perfect Beach Boys CD. However, this ... Read More

I will admit that in the past I tolerated the Beach Boys and would probably never knowingly spend money on them. However, on a trip to YouTube, I stumbled across the Mamas and the Papas version of California Dreaming which along with The James Gang Live version of Walk Away is one of my favorite songs. After listening and watching the Mamas and the Papas several times, I went searching for other versions(by the way, the host that introduces them on the Hollywood Palace is none other than Arthur Godfrey ...

I know what your thinking, `Not another Beach Boys Collection?!' Yes folks it's true. I think this may actually mark their 100th collection of hits. Between different labels and versions releasing material, it's a little tough to tell anyway. Let's face it; no one defined the sounds of summer like The Beach Boys in the 60's. This collection focuses solely on their `beach' or summer sounds. Excluded is material from the pinnacle Beach Boys album Pet Sounds, and probably any other Brian Wilson-penned progressive ...
