31. Wouldn't It Be Nice
32. God Only Knows
33. I Just Wasn't Made For These Times [1996 stereo remix]

I know, I know - The Beach Boys' catalog has been anthologized ad nauseum. My goal was to create a comprehensive compilation that chronicled their music from the beginning through 1980. It grew into this three-disc set, which I feel represents that eighteen-year period better than anything that has been officially released thus far. Disc one of three. All tracks are in mono unless indicated otherwise.

I love how many BB's tunes fit on one disc. Good stuff here...looking forward to the other volumes. Did you use the mono versions of some of those PS tracks? I admit, I'm a total whore for the stereo versions.

I used mono for "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "God Only Knows," since certain elements of the original mono mixes had to be replaced in the stereo remixes. But "Caroline No," "Sloop John B" and "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" are, in fact, presented in remixed stereo.
