i mean the ones like shut down & 409 sounds like i'm not hearing like i'm missing a speaker on my radio or something, there's no excitement . i have endless summer & made in the usa those mixes of those tracks jive & roll with energy that sounds like the the boys i've loved all these years. but do love the track car crazy cutie. better luck next time guys. thank goodness i bought a copy of all summer long before those guys at capitol pull it from the U.S .

Great Reissue Unavailable Domestically
A generous offering of two classic Beach Boys albums, complete with stunning remastering bonus tracks, and an excellent book. Of course, the brain trust at Capitol records saw fit to delete this. This is a fine example of all of their car songs, with some of the most breathtaking harmonies that you'll ever hear. Much more mature than earlier releases and the Beach Boys sound grows in sophistication without having the angst of Pet Sounds. Hopefully, Capitol will see fit to reissue this CD in the US....someday.

good cd
Thiws is yet again another great cd. both of the albums on here are great. and there are still no bad songs on here, but still the only bad part about here was the fact that Al Jardine is a part of the band.

What a fond trip down memory lane!
I'll admit up front that two of the stars I gave this 2-on-1 CD was simply for all the wonderful memories this release from 1964 conjures up. All Summer Long was only my second LP purchase. [The first was Meet the Beatles earlier in the year when I was all of eleven!]

With more than 6,000 titles in my music collection now, I've enjoyed the opportunity to go back and revisit some of these old records on CD and it reminded me of what I loved about these records in the first place. Sure, you still hear the hits on the classic rock stations--and there's plenty of them here: "I Get Around," "Wendy" and "Little Honda" from All Summer Long, as well as "Little Deuce Coupe," "Shut Down," "409" and "Be True to Your School" from Little Deuce Coupe.

But there are other gems on this release to savor: the always tight harmony singing on "Hushabye," the goofiness of "Drive-In," the heartache of "We'll Run Away," the hard-driving "Don't Back Down." Okay, "Our Favorite Recording Sessions" is tough to listen to more than once or twice, especially since it sounds a little too scripted.

The bottom line is this: This disc finds its way into my CD player more often than any of the five discs from the Beach Boys box set. Okay, let's set the way-back machine to 1964. Ready? "Round, round, get around, I get around, yeah, get around, oo-ooh, I get around..." (Enjoy!)

Great Record!! Nice Booklet too.
Little Deuce Coupe/All Summer Long is a must for fans. Little Deuce Coupe starts out with the title song and other hits such as; Be True to Your School; 409; Shut Down, and other hit car songs. Then we have All summer long with the title song, and other smash hits; the album starts off with I Get Around, a beach boys #1 hit, and perhaps one of there best. Then come titles like Husabye, Little Honda, Wendy, Girls on the Beach, and Dont Back Down. This cd also comes with a informatable booklet that is interchangable so you pick the cover from the two that you like the best.

You definitely get your moneys worth with this one.
