THE BEACH BOYS/SUMMER DAYS (AND SUMMER NIGHTS!!) T 2354 (-66) UK MONO
Bought the UK duophonic stereo a couple of years ago https://monolover.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-beach-boyssummer-days-and-summer.html and been quite all right with that, but at the same time looking for a US or UK mono, as that was the original mix. Now I found one and feel I can enjoy it as it was meant to be. It is one of those sixties albums that felt fresh and creative when first released and still today offers good listening with its blend of very catchy numbers - like "Help Me, Rhonda", "California Girls", "You're So Good To Me" and "The Girl From New York City" - with more adventurous but beautiful ones as "Let Him Run Wild" and the a capella "And Your Dream Comes True". And there's so many nuances to enjoy, not only in the perfectly balanced vocals but also in production and arrangements. Not many albums have the ability to both grab you at first listen and then grow with every spin, but this is certainly one of those. Listening now as I write this with a big smile on my face. Issued and reissued on every possible format all over the world through the years. First US 1965 on Capitol (DT/T 2354). Japan limited ed. in paper sleeve (Capitol TOCP 50857) came with mono versions. First UK had label as shown here in a laminated flip/back cover with EMI ad inner. (BÅB*)
