Yes, this CD single features the famous Beach Boys Medley -- that is, the American 45 rpm single version -- which hit the top 20 or something in 1981. At the time, it was a pretty well-mixed medley of original Beach Boys hits from 15 to 20 years earlier, manufactured no doubt to compete with the then-popular "Stars On" hit single, a medley record of sound-alike musicians and singers covering the Beatles, etc.This CD single is given 4 stars for 2 reasons: first, it's the Beach Boys, so everyone should buy it regardless; also, it's a trivia single, not found on any other CD. It only got 4 stars because it SHOULD have included the 12" version of the Medley, as well as the 12" Ballad Medley, both of which were released on vinyl in Japan. Sham(e) on Capitol for not including those two gems as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars very misleading track list, April 20, 2004

i thought that $6 was low for a disc of 30 tracks. so i looked at the reviews. one reviewer was wowed at the collection, so i added it to my cart. obviously that reviewer never played this disc. this disc only has 4 tracks!
he must get credit for writing reviews.
buyer be warned about reviewers with 1000 reviews to thier credit. it was only a $6 loss for me, but I will be more carefull in future with review-addicts like David Kenner.
