Released just one month after the Surfer Girl album, Little Deuce Coupe was, incredibly, the band's fourth album in less than a year. Brian Wilson and the band responded by turning in arguably their most consistent effort to date--and a concept album, to boot. Deuce Coupe expanded the band's subject matter to encompass 1963 America's burgeoning love affair with hot rods, surrounding previously released cuts such as the title track, "409," and others with strong new material (much of it cowritten by Wilson and a DJ, Roger Christian). A highpoint: the a cappella James Dean tribute "A Young Man Is Gone" (a reworking of Bobby Troup's beautiful "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring"), a prime example of Wilson's arranging genius and the band's vocal prowess. All Summer Long was notable not only for racheting up the band's standards and essentially bidding farewell to the surf songs that inspired both their name and reputation, but also for going toe-to-toe with one of rock's most explosive phenomena--Beatlemania--and coming away victorious, with the single "I Get Around" soaring to No. 1 in the spring of 1964. Essentially another loose concept record (revolving around the innocent hedonistic pursuits of an idyllic SoCal summer) that takes its cue from the effervescent title track, it also documents Brian's restless creativity pushing the band toward its performing peak. Bonus takes include the superior single take of band staple "Be True to Your School," alternate takes of "Little Honda" and "Don't Back Down," and the slightly salacious outtake "All Dressed Up for School." Both albums have also been sonically burnished via 24-bit digital remastering. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

A car concept album & a small masterpiece of teenage angst on 1 CD!.......2007-01-30

Little Duece Coupe is the ultimate car concept record and plays great even though a few tracks are a few years old and already released.
All Summer Long is highly recommended and Brian's first peak. These 7 songs listed here are ESSENTIAL listening.

Hushabye
Little Honda
We'll Run Away
Wendy
Girls On The Beach
Don't Back Down
All Dressed Up For School

Although the car or automobile has ruined the planet with its incessant demands for streets
and parking spaces and gas wars, these songs rule!

This CD features two Beach Boys albums.

Little Deuce Coupe was the Beach Boys' fourth album. It features a bunch of their car songs. Four of the songs had been on previous Beach Boys albums. Most of the songs are very good. One of the highlights is the moving a capella tribute to James Dean, "A Young Man is Gone".

All Summer Long was the Beach Boys sixth album. It also has a "theme", of sorts, that being "fun in the summertime". It was the Beach Boys best album at that point. It features their first #1 hit, "I Get Around". Other than that, it features a number of other songs that are considered to be Beach Boys classics; including "All Summer Long", "Little Honda", "Wendy" and "Girls on the Beach". No bad songs, although "Our Favorite Recording Sessions", which features outtakes of the Beach Boys messing up, is definitely "filler".

There are four bonus tracks; including the superior single version of "Be True To Your School", the previously unreleased "All Dressed Up For School", and alternate takes of "Little Honda" and "Don't Back Down". Any Beach Boys fan should enjoy this CD.

An EXTREMO good album.......2006-01-02

This album has lots of their original stuff on it including their hit "Little Deuce Coupe"obviously. My Favorite Song is "Drive - In" on this album. I have an "opinion" about the Beach Boys... They're GREAT!!!!!!! I've seen a Beach Boys concert before that had almost EVERYTHING.... But all Beach Boys concerts now-a-days do.

The Hardest Rocking Car Songs, The Most Romantic Ballads .......2007-03-20

This double album combines LITTLE DEUCE COUPE with ALL SUMMER LONG. As a result, you get the most propulsive, driving rock and roll sound of the early Beach Boys, ("Little Deuce Coupe" "409" "Shut Down") combined with ballads like "Girls On the Beach" and "Hushabye." It's impossible to exaggerate the clean,lush, precision of the Beach Boys' harmonies on "Hushabye," which was originally a primitive Fifties song by a forgotten group called the Mystics. Then there are the driving fast songs on SUMMER which have a sweeter, sleigh bell sound, like "Drive In" and "Do You Remember."

On top of all that this CD package provides great bonus rarities like "Be True To Your School" (the rare hit single version, with twanging guitars and sound effects) and "Carl's Big Chance" the instrumental featuring guitarist Carl Wilson, which shuffles along nicely and even sounds a bit bluesy at times.

This is a spectacular combination of two great albums, just as powerful as the big anthologies which they did in the Seventies, SPIRIT OF AMERICA and ENDLESS SUMMER.

back to the drawboard fellas........2000-09-27

i thought i'd be delighted by this cd , boy what a disappointment i found in the mixing, who ever did the job on this disc was sleeping while mixing this thing some tracks are good but most of them horrifingly mixed in mono the wrong ones. all have to say is the U.S issue of all summer long was great, but they pull it in the usa , so now you don't have a wonderful stereo version , but a sloppy mono copy that is'nt worthy of the beach boys tag. guys stereo works i just dig surfer girl/ shut down vol 2 that rocked i wish i could say the same for this disc.

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 .

good cd.......2000-06-03

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!.......1999-11-21

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!)
