TWENTY GOOD VIBRATIONS is the best single-disc collection of The Beach Boys available. Focusing on their 1962-1965 heyday, it contains every major hit single recorded by the group, including their final #1 from 1988, "Kokomo." The songs featured here are the upbeat, harmony-filled evocations of endless Californian summers that most people associate with The Beach Boys.
Classic surf songs like "Surfin' Safari" and "Surfin' USA" still sound fresh and vital, and later hits like "I Get Around," "California Girls" and "Good Vibrations" offer a tantalizing glimpse of the songwriting and production genius of Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson. Though this album only features three songs (including the breathtakingly beautiful "God Only Knows") from the landmark PET SOUNDS album and none of the lesser known but wonderful singles that The Beach Boys recorded in the seventies, TWENTY GOOD VIBRATIONS distills The Beach Boys 35-year career into a hit-packed album that will provide you with enough "Fun, Fun, Fun" to last all summer.
