The Beach Boys: 'U.S. Singles Collection'

On June 10, Capitol/EMI will release the first complete collection of The Beach Boys' early Capitol Records singles, spanning the years 1962 to 1965. The Beach Boys: U.S. Singles Collection The Capitol Years (1962-1965) will be released in a highly-collectible, limited edition boxed set of 16 CDs and as a digital collection. Each of the deluxe boxed set's CDs includes an original single's A and B-sides, plus other versions of most tracks, from additional mono and stereo mixes to live recordings. Eight previously unreleased mixes are among the new collection's 66 tracks.

The CD boxed set's lavish packaging includes 16 individual CDs in digipaks with faithfully reproduced original single artwork, plus a 48-page hardbound photo book with faux sand finish, housed in a striking '60s hotrod and surfboard-inspired red and yellow box with wood inlay.

The hit-packed set begins with 1962's "Surfin' Safari" and its B-side, "409," in their original mono mixes, paired with a 1965 concert recording of "409." Also included are The Beach Boys' timeless #1 smash Pop hits "I Get Around" and "Help Me Rhonda," and Top 10 Pop hits "Surfin' USA," "Surfer Girl," "Be True To Your School," "Little Saint Nick," "Fun, Fun, Fun," "When I Grow Up To Be A Man," "Dance, Dance, Dance," "The Man With All The Toys," and "California Girls." The new collection's other hit sides include "Ten Little Indians," "Shut Down," "Little Deuce Coupe," "In My Room," "Why Do Fools Fall In Love?," "Don't Worry Baby," "Wendy," "Little Honda," "Do You Wanna Dance?" and "Please Let Me Wonder."

In 1961, The Beach Boys began singing about America's newest craze, surfing. What followed was a wave of hits that vividly expressed the lifestyles, dreams and ambitions of America's youth. Their signature sound, full of sun-drenched harmonies, golden melodies and descriptive lyrics, delivered a taste of the free and easy California lifestyle to listeners around the world. The music of The Beach Boys brings optimism and a beam of Southern California sun wherever it is played.

For more than four decades, The Beach Boys, originally comprised of the three Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and school friend Al Jardine, have recorded and performed the music that has become the world's favorite soundtrack to summer. In 1962, Hawthorne neighbor David Marks joined the group for their first wave of hits on Capitol Records, leaving in late 1963, and in 1965, Bruce Johnston joined the band when Brian Wilson retired from touring.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and winners of The Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award, The Beach Boys are an American institution that is iconic around the world.

The Beach Boys: U.S. Singles Collection, The Capitol Years (1962-1965) captures all of the earliest fun in the sun highlights from America's Band in one gorgeous, artful package. It follows the 2007 release of The Warmth Of The Sun, a new career-spanning collection compiled and sequenced by the band's Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson to complement 2003's double-platinum certified Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys.
