Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7Cp1SuzeSuz07vrE48IrK7 Album History (Released October 1963) Early in their career, the Beach Boys basically had two types of songs: surf songs and car songs. Capitol Records wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the car songs so they released a compilation album called Shut Down. Brian Wilson felt that he could do better with a new album. Little Deuce Coupe followed. The boys reused 4 of their car songs: Little Deuce Coupe, 409, Shut Down, and Our Car Club. This album was released only three weeks after Surfer Girl and sold a million copies. The Beach Boys made Capitol Records a lot of money in 1963. Tracklist Thanks Wikipedia.

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6u5tGarzvESDsQiIpC4SlI Album History (Released March 1963) The second album from the Boys came out only 5 months after the debut Surfin’ Safari. 1963 was a ridiculously productive year for the Beach Boys. Capitol proved insatiable in their desire to put out Beach Boys records. Brian Wilson really began to be a presence in the studio on this album, he was much more active in its production. He started to push the members of the band towards a more polished sound. Brian was tough on his brothers, Al, and cousin Mike, demanding more takes until they gave him the performance he wanted. Surfin’ USA was the Beach Boys first top ten single. The album itself made it to number 2 on the sales chart. After Surfin’ USA, the Beach Boys were a household name. Tracklist Thanks Wikipedia. Side one No. Title Writer(s) Lead Vocals Length 1. " Surfin' U.S.A. ...
