A life-long BB fan from the 60s. Seen them in concert for 4 decades. They needed to pack it in by the early 70s. Their glory was in the 60s, esp. b/f Brian really screwed himself up.
Nobody could match their excitement and sound in concert in the 60s. No bells and whistles, no special effects, no theatrics...just fantastic, positive BB music that brought you to your feet.
Well, all I can say is that this is WAY better than the U.S. version. Why did The Beach Boys have to make different mixes for both the U.S. and U.K. editions?
generally summer in paradise is not as bad as many people say. of course some tracks are horrible (remember walking in the sand, surfin, summer of love) but there are some very nice songs with great vocals on it. personally i enjoy this album more than some of brian wilson's solo albums (especially gettin in over my head, which is really terrible).
As much as I love Carl Wilson's voice...it can't fix "Walking in the Sand". When they changed the basic beat and production of this classic song, it ruined it. So...I agree what you said about it. RIP Carl.
@Landrew120880 Good lord they didn't even try for this one. You can almost hear mike going "Just throw on the kokomo drum loop we'll sing about an island or something maybe a girl, summer guitars, here's my lyrics I got it bad, lets harmonize good...good...it's really really lame...it's non-descript and doesn't even have the catchiness that is the only positive quality of Kokomo...PERFECT! I have ruined one of the greatest bands in the world. Beautiful. Release this album. It's perfect."
I love Beach Boys forever
