Sounds of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys originally appeared in 2003 as an overview of the best known songs, from Surfin' Safari, I Get Around and California Girls through Good Vibrations and God Only Knows to Kokomo from 1988. For the band's sixtieth anniversary the compilation was remastered in 2022 by Mark Linett; the expanded version adds album tracks and rarer material such as Til I Die, Feel Flows and Can't Wait Too Long alongside the hits, with new liner notes and photographs.
This edition is a 6-LP box on 180 gram vinyl with the expanded eighty-track version.
