It only includes compilations with previously unreleased material. Look in the file 'compile.htm' for various 'cheesy' compilations that have been issued by Capitol.
It is concerned with American releases. The release dates, chart information, catalogue numbers, etc. correspond to that territory.
Although full information about the original vinyl issues are given, emphasis is given to the CD Beach Boys' releases as these are 'easiest' to pick up today.
Unfortunately, recently Capitol in their infinite wisdom, deleted these 'two-fers' and re-released the albums, one to each CD without the bonus songs. The 1990 releases of Christmas Album and Pet Sounds are still available.
The Brother/Caribou CDs were also digitally remastered, although for some of the songs the wrong masters were used. These reissues have also been deleted. Beach Boys fans have it real tough, don't they?
However, the entire 1962-1985 album catalogue was recently re-issued on CD again, so it's not all bad news. The New UK catalogue numbers below are all HDCD 24-bit digitally remastered.
