The Beach Boys / “Made in California” box set: details and track listing

By Paul Sinclair

Made In California The Beach Boys’ box set originally planned for last autumn as part of the band’s 50th anniversary celebrations, will be released on 19 August 2013.

This six-CD set attempts to provide a career overview, and in addition to well known recordings and ‘deep cuts’, it will include more than 60 previously unreleased tracks. In total, Made In California will provide over seven and a half hours of music and features 174 tracks.

Highlights include a true stereo mix of Do It Again, made from the recently found 8-track master, a new stereo mix of We’re Together Again (again from a recently recovered 8-track master) and a live Help Me Rhonda with Dennis on the lead vocal.

CD 6 in this set is called From The Vaults and it is on this disc that many of the rare tracks reside, including instrumentals, a capella mixes, demos, mono cuts and radio spots.

Made in California will come packaged in a large hardback book full of personal recollections from the band’s members, replicated classic artwork and memorabilia, photos from the band’s archive.
