The Beach Boys, Fun, Fun, Fun, Capitol Records [UK] #EAP 1-20603 (1964).[Extended Play Picture Sleeve Record]

Tracklist:

Fun, Fun, Fun
In My Room
Little Deuce Coupe
Why Do Fools Fall In Love

Liner Notes (by Derek Johnson, New Musical Express):

"Although the British climate may not be condusive to surf-riding along our coast-line, the music which has become associated with this sporting craze is ideally suited to our pop music tastes.  Basically, surfing music is an offshoot of the twist -- but with a somewhat heavier rolling, swelling beat which simulates the breakers of the Pacific Ocean sweeping into the Californian shore.  It is undoubtedly one of the most colourful forms of popular music, for not only is it remarkably applicable to the sport from which it takes its name, but also its infectiously driving beat is as compulsively rhythmic as any current craze.  It’s a best which simply cannot be ignored and which defies you to remain static -- a happy, effervescent, light-hearted rhythm guaranteed to start the solitary listener toe-tapping and finger clicking, and to set any party rocking and rolling.  The principal delight of surf music is that, whilst it conjures up visions of sub-tropical beaches and white-flecked waves rushing shoreward, it can be enjoyed by people who have never even seen a surf-board and know nothing of the sport itself -- and goodness knows, there are plenty of uninitiated surfers in this country!

The Beach Boys are among America’s most popular exponents of surf music, and indeed enjoyed a chart entry in this country with their recording of Surfin’ U.S.A. towards the end of 1963.  A five-man team hailing from Hawthorne in California, where they all attended high school, the Beach Boys consist of three brothers (Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson), their cousin Mike Love, and a school friend David Marks.  These lads never fail to give the impression of thoroughly enjoying themselves -- as indeed they are.  The stimulating character of the music they purvey, plus their own dynamic bonhomie, infuses a sense of well-being and good cheer into the listener.  For who can help experiencing “Fun, Fun, Fun” as the Beach Boys give out with their own distinctive brand of contagious, hypnotic, insidious rhythm?
"


Arranged and produced by Brian Wilson.
