Beach Boys Announce Year of 60th Anniversary Celebrations

The Beach Boys announced a year-long celebration of their 60th anniversary, kicking off with a massively extended version of their 2003 Sounds of Summer compilation.

The new edition adds 50 tracks to the original 30, with many songs presented in completely new mixes. You can listen to the new stereo mix of “Good Vibrations,” see the album trailer and check out the complete track listing below.

The set arrives in multiple formats on June 17, including a numbered, limited super-deluxe six-LP vinyl box set in foil slipcase with four collectible lithographs. All formats are available for preorder now. In addition, the band announced a new documentary was in the works along with a tribute special, exhibitions, new merchandise and more events to take place in 2022 and 2023.

“The collection boasts 24 new mixes, including two first-time stereo mixes, plus 22 new-and-improved stereo mixes, which in some cases feature the latest in digital stereo extraction technology, allowing for the team to separate the original mono backing tracks for the first time,” UMe said in a statement. “Additionally, all 30 [original] tracks … have been mixed in immersive Dolby Atmos … continuing the initiative to present the group’s catalog in the enveloping and exciting new audio format.”

The Beach Boys added that "it’s hard to believe it’s been 60 years since we signed to Capitol Records and released our first album, Surfin’ Safari. We were just kids in 1962 and could have never dreamed about where our music would take us, that it would have such a big impact on the world, still be loved, and continue to be discovered by generation after generation.

"This is a huge milestone that we’re all very honored to have achieved. And to our incredible fans, forever and new, we look forward to sharing even more throughout the year."

“The Beach Boys have created some of the most iconic and beloved music of all time,” UMe president Bruce Resnikoff noted. “An indelible and important part of America’s cultural fabric, their timeless music has been a ubiquitous soundtrack for generations and continues to influence, inspire, and delight. We at UMe remain honored to further the Beach Boys’ legendary catalog and look forward to celebrating them all year long along with their millions of fans around the world.”
