5.0 out of 5 stars They've cloned the beach boys., August 23, 1999

This album is awesome. It actually sounds just like the Beach Boys. The recording is supurb. I have used this album at sock hops and everyone wants to know where they can get it. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy, you won't be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding quality recording, July 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: California Project (Audio CD)

If you like the Beach Boys and appreciate the technical quality behind Telarc recordings, then this disc is a must have in your collection. First, Papa Doo Run Run does an excellent job covering Beach Boys tunes to the point where some people can't tell the difference, but you can still hear the uniqueness they bring to it. Second, you'll feel like your hearing parts of the music you've never heard before because there is so much more foundation and clarity to the recording. You can hear each instrument clearly. The beginning of "I Get Around" is almost explosive, they way the original recording should have been. Telarc and Papa Doo Run Run have made a special album here. When I feel like listening to the Beach Boys, I usually grab this CD first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recording In All Respects, February 7, 2003

This is a great recording in all respects. When you see the name "Telarc" on the label, you can be fairly certain (but not guaranteed) that the album is special. This one is no exception.

This group has basically done a rehash of the Beach Boys, but it is so much more enjoyable. The vocals are better and the recording is better. After listening to this album a few times, you may never listen to the (real) Beach Boys again. In fact, you may think that the Beach Boys THEMSELVES are the imitators.

This is definitely a great test album for high-end audio systems. It is one of 20 or so CDs that I use when auditioning high-end equipment. Let me tell you, the clarity and the bass will knock your socks off.

If you love summer-fun music or the Beach Boys, you owe it to yourself to own this album. Even if you don't, but you love well-recorded pop, this album fits that bill as well.
