The Beach Boys - Surfer Girl/Shut Down 2

Facts This album brings two of the more iconic releases together from The Beach Boys and wraps them up into the perfect bundle. 'Shut Down Volume 2' has some absolute classics with for instance the Chuck Berry-ish 'Fun, Fun, Fun' and the superb 'Don't Worry Baby,' one of the most advanced pop productions of 1964 with it's breathtaking harmonies and unusual lyrics. And same could be said for 'Surfer Girl' with the title song, the hot rod ditty 'Little Deuce Coupe,' and 'Catch a Wave.' Most significant of all is the gorgeous ballad "In My Room," which anticipated future Beach Boys releases in it's sophisticated production and personal lyrics. A perfect representation of the late 50s/early 60s American culture.
