5.0 out of 5 stars Made In U.S.A., May 25, 2001

This is by far the best of all the Beach Boy's greatest hit's album's. It just cover's all of the best hit's from the early 60's up through the late 70's-early 80's. There is one ultra rare song on here that I don't believe I have seen on any of they're regular albums, that song is called "Rock N Roll To The Rescue" it must have been released either in the late 70's or early 80's. One of my favorite tracks on the album is the re make of the Mama's and Papa's classic "California Dreaming" I think that the Beach Boy's do a fantastic job on this song and one of the things I like best about the song is at the beggining when they go "All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray" right after they say the sky is gray you hear a rumble of thunder which I thought was pretty cool. So yeah without a doubt if you want a Beach Boy's greatest hit's album this is the one to get. This item is currently out of print. Hopefully Capitol will make a re master of this album cause it truly is great. Here is the track listing to the album [...]: 1. Surfin' Safari 2. 409 3. Surfin U.S.A. 4. Be True To Your School 5. Surfer Girl 6. Dance, Dance, Dance 7. Fun, Fun, Fun 8. I Get Around 9. Help Me Rhonda 10. Don't Worry Baby 11. California Girls 12. When I Grow Up (To Be A Man) 13. Barbara Ann 14. Good Vibrations 15. Heroes And Villans 16. Wouldn't It Be Nice 17. Sloop John B. 18. God Only Knows 19. Caroline No 20. Do It Again 21. Rock And Roll Music 22. Come Go With Me 23. Getcha Back 24. Rock N Roll To The Rescue 25. California Dreamin

It also say's on the back of the cd that the album is dedicated to the Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson who tragically died by drowning. R.I.P. Dennis

4.0 out of 5 stars the cassette that really turned me on to the Beach Boys, June 7, 2011

I am writing this review for the cassette version out of nostalgia because it's the tape that really got me turned on to the Beach Boys. I believe I actually had the tape before I had any CDs. The collection has a lot of their best '60s material including many of the hits, as well as their hit versions of "Rock And Roll Music" (from '76), "Come Go With Me" (a hit in '81, first released in '78), their hit "Getcha Back" (from '85), and the "new" (when the comp first came out) songs "Rock 'N' Roll To The Rescue" and "California Dreamin'" (the latter originally recorded by The Mamas & The Papas). I remember that I REALLY enjoyed "California Dreamin,'" and I still think it's very cool. I don't think "Rock 'N' Roll To The Rescue" has ever been on any other compilation. I listened to the cassette over and over and over, until it finally wore out. I never managed to get another copy of the cassette, but I did, after a few years, get the comp on CD. In fact, when I got the CD version, I almost had to pinch myself to make sure *I* wasn't dreamin'! This collection has been surpassed, especially by the Sounds Of Summer CD and the Good Vibrations box set --- although neither of them include "California Dreamim'"! --- but still, I enjoy the CD version and have very fond memories of the cassette. (In fact, I still have my worn-out cassette copy in a cassette rack in my room!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, an ultra-rare track !, May 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Made in Usa (Audio CD)

Both ROCK AND ROLL TO THE RESCUE and CALIFORNIA DREAMIN were new recordings made especially for this compilation when it was released in 1986. California Dreamin has been re-released on
some newer CD's (currently on Greatest Hits Vol 3 - The Brother Years)
but ROCK AND ROLL TO THE RESCUE has never been released elsewhere
and this CD is currently Out Of Print in the US. It probably won't be re-issued.
