Decent collection of songs but this has some of the worst sounding mono to stereo effects I’ve heard - makes it sound like they’ve been rerecorded in a tiled bathroom or similar, or like listening to a music festival from a distance. Shame!

This is a nice compilation of Beach Boys 20 greatset hist, and it sounds good too. Album looks great and I can recomendent this easily.

An excellent compilation album that sadly was never released in America but was released in Canada. Very odd.
