Highlights include "Good Vibrations ," "California Girls ," "God Only Knows ," " Barbara Ann ," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," and many more songs that perfectly capture the spirit of the Californian surf sound.

This compilation not only offers the band's best-known hits from the 1960s and 1970s, but also lesser-known tracks that illustrate the band's musical range. The gatefold cover provides supplementary text and images about the band's history, making this edition a special collector's item.

Historical background

Founded in California in 1961, the Beach Boys embodied the spirit of sun, sea, and freedom. With their unique harmonies and Brian Wilson's innovative compositions, they made music history. Pet Sounds (1966) is considered one of the most influential albums in pop music, while songs like Surfin' USA and Good Vibrations became anthems for an entire generation.

The double LP "Summer Dreams" brings these milestones together in one collection and impressively documents why the Beach Boys still enjoy cult status today.
