This is... an interesting track listing... This LP was put out in 1982 to round up all of the tracks that Capitol had pulled off their re-issues of their 60s LPs. Each LP was released with only 10 tracks, not 12. It was such a stupid move on their part. |

Well...not all of the albums were missing tracks. Beach Boys Concert and Christmas Album were fully intact, as was every album from Beach Boys' Party! and later.
This one was also only ten tracks. To be a new fan back in the early '80s must have SUCKED -- you couldn't get the complete albums, even if you got Be True to Your School to fill in the missing tracks: you'd still be missing some.

It did suck. Not being a new fan, in the early 70s I bought my first high fidelity stereo system, including a good turntable. Naturally I wanted to replace all my mono Beach Boys albums that I had worn out on my little portable children’s record player that I had since I was about 10 years old. So I go to the record store to buy nice brand new stereo albums, and what do I find, but those catastrophically horrible bastardized and mis-titled “Capitol offenses,” with the missing songs. I was able to find an imported copy of an intact Shut Down Vol. 2, and the sound was incredible. It wasn’t much of a consolation to have to wait until 1982 in order to get a few of the missing tracks. Capitol should have been completely ashamed of themselves. Especially when the band hit number one in 1974 with Endless Summer. |

And of course it was funny when Brad was helping Randall Davis put BTTYS together along with Sunshine Dream and said "By the way, you do know with your LP re-releases in 1980, you forgot one?" "We did?" "Yep, THE BEACH BOYS PARTY LP."
They did forget about that one, that is why it was released in 1982 with SD and BTTYS. It was the only Cap re-release at the time on XDR cassettes with much better sound that the regular tapes. I still have mine somewhere.
Oh, and is where it gets really crazy. In 1986/87, when CAPITOL was dragging its heels about putting out CDs, TOSHIBA-EMI decides to go ahead and put out the LPs on CD. They ask Capitol to strike all new DOLBY A copies of the LPs and send them over. For the first several LPs (up through SUMMER DAYS), Capitol copied only the TEN TRACKS they were releasing on LPs at the time, leaving off the two tracks pulled from the masters (actually stored at the end of the reel I was told). TOSHIBA is like what the ****? Capitol sends copies of the left off tracks, but in the case of SUMMER DAYS, they send duophonic copies of the two tracks.
Such a mess.
