Description:

n the fall of 1961, the cousins ​​Brian Wilson and Mike Love composed a song about surfing, who was baptized on throw-in by Brian’s younger brother, Dennis Wilson, “Surfin ‘”.

With the recent Wilson brother Carl on guitar and Brian’s high school buddy Al Jardine on rhythm guitar, they formed a band.

Brian played bass, Dennis the drums and Mike should be the front man while they all sang together vocal harmonies, arranged by Brian.

Released in December of the same year, produced by Hite Morgan, and with, Luau “on the B-side, cracked, Surfin in the spring of 1962, the top 75 U.S.
charts.

The father Murry Wilson became the manager of the band.
The Beach Boys signed a contract with Capitol, and already in June 1962 appeared the next single, “Surfin ‘Safari”, with “409” on the B-side.

Both, Surfin ‘Safari “and 409” transformed themselves become hits, so Capitol Records released a full album.

Brian Wilson, who regularly collaborated with Mike Love and Gary Usher, contributed the majority of the songs.

Officially, Nick Venet as a producer in appearance, although it is reported that Brian Wilson at least contributed to the production.

The second single from the album, Ten Little Indians “was less successful, reaching only number 49 in the charts, which was Brian Wilson from the beginning of the opinion that, Chug-A-Lug” would have been a better choice.

Although Mike and Brian are the most prominent singers, Dennis contributes vocals to the first time, Little Girl (You’re My Miss America) “at that as, Miss America” appears on the cover.

This kit assembled on two CDs, the very first Beach Boys album together with the recordings and takes that led to this album – with the tracks of the original Randy 7 “s that were released as KENNY & THE CADETS.
