Well, at least they edited all instances of “fucking”, “damn” “shit” etc out of the quotes – only left in one “kick-ass”! Not one of the fans’ quotes is attributed, which is odd. And point 20 seems to contradict itself: 20. “This is art, yes, but it’s also popular entertainment. Old mono mixes, crudely separated stereo mixes and overly dense mixes make the music less appealing to the widest possible audience. This new set attempts to package the band’s best together in consistent sound and presentation.”

Not sure why, but whenever I read this all I can picture is Howie with his hands over his ears saying 'nah nah na-nah naaah, not listening, not listening, not listening'.

It's an excellent compilation. Now bring on CATP/Holland. And where is that documentary?

Seeing people's "Beach Boys hit list" thread this week, I'm looking at the 2022 deluxe Sounds of Summer, and realized it could have benefited greatly by reordering the songs to be in chronological order.
Here is Sounds of Summer Chronological, and I think I might even burn a CD set with this order:
Disk 1 Surfin’ Safari Surfin’ U.S.A. Shut Down Farmer’s Daughter Surfer Girl Little Deuce Coupe In My Room Be True to Your School Fun Fun Fun Don’t Worry Baby The Warmth of the Sun Pom Pom Play Girl I Get Around All Summer Long Wendy When I Grow Up Do You Wanna Dance? Dance, Dance, Dance Good to My Baby Kiss Me, Baby Help Me, Rhonda Girl Don’t Tell Me California Girls Let Him Run Wild You’re So Good to Me Barbara Ann Devoted to You Sloop John B Wouldn’t It Be Nice God Only Knows
Disk 2 I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times Good Vibrations Heroes and Villains Do You Like Worms Wind Chimes (Smile Version) Vegetables Wild Honey Darlin’ Aren’t You Glad Let the Wind Blow Can’t Wait Too Long Friends Little Bird Do It Again I Can Hear Music All I Want to Do I Went to Sleep Time to Get Alone Cotton Fields Add Some Music to Your Day Susie Cincinnati This Whole World It’s About Time All I Wanna Do Forever
Disk 3 San Miguel Long Promised Road Disney Girls (1957) Feel Flows Surf’s Up ‘Til I Die (Wouldn’t It Be Nice) to Live Again You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone Marcella All This Is That Sail On Sailor California Saga (On My Way to Sunny California) Rock and Roll Music It’s OK Everyone’s in Love with You Let Us Go On This Way The Night Was So Young Come Go with Me Good Timin’ Baby Blue Goin’ On Getcha Back Where I Belong Kokomo California Feeling

As I discovered on this forum today, the UK issued a 3-CD Sounds of Summer in 2005 featuring 18 songs that didn't appear on the 2022 3-CD Sounds of Summer. If we added those 18 songs to the 2022 version, making it a 4-CD set (and also added "That's Why God Made the Radio" and "Isn't it Time" at the end, arranged chronologically, here's the 4-CD set we'd have the following 99 songs. (Anybody want to suggest one more song to make it an even 100?)
CD 1 Surfin’ Safari Surfin’ U.S.A. Shut Down Farmer’s Daughter Surfer Girl Little Deuce Coupe In My Room Be True to Your School Fun Fun Fun Don’t Worry Baby The Warmth of the Sun Pom Pom Play Girl I Get Around All Summer Long Little Honda Wendy Girls On the Beach When I Grow Up Do You Wanna Dance? Dance, Dance, Dance Good to My Baby Please Let Me Wonder Kiss Me, Baby Help Me, Rhonda Then I Kissed Her
CD 2 Girl Don’t Tell Me California Girls Let Him Run Wild You’re So Good to Me The Little Girl I Once Knew Barbara Ann Devoted to You Sloop John B Caroline No Wouldn’t It Be Nice You Still Believe in Me God Only Knows I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times Good Vibrations Heroes and Villains Do You Like Worms Wind Chimes (Smile Version) Vegetables Wild Honey Darlin’ Aren’t You Glad Let the Wind Blow Here Comes the Night Can’t Wait Too Long Friends
CD 3 Little Bird Do It Again I Can Hear Music Bluebirds Over the Mountain All I Want to Do I Went to Sleep Time to Get Alone Cotton Fields Break Away Add Some Music to Your Day Susie Cincinnati This Whole World It’s About Time Tears in the Morning All I Wanna Do Forever San Miguel Long Promised Road Disney Girls (1957) Student Demonstration Time Feel Flows Surf’s Up ‘Til I Die (Wouldn’t It Be Nice) to Live Again You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone

From There to Back Again. Then again, I'd replace Quo, Fat Boys and Medley too. One with either The Lonely Sea or Don't Back Down or In the Back of My Mind; one with Cabinessence; the last with Strange Things Happen or, better still, You're Still a Mystery, to plug a gap in terms of time.

I like “Somewhere Near Japan,” and “Still Cruisin’.”

The title of the set was in fact The Platinum Collection Sounds of Summer Edition - there were a lot of these 3CD Platinum Editions released around this time. It wasn't Sounds of Summer, which was released the following year in the UK with an additional DVD, as per the 2004 US Sights & Sounds Of Summer. The 3CD set was an expansion of the proposed 40 Top 40s, which got canned Stateside in favour of SoS, hence the non-US releases/hits.
