WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Rounding out this program is the new disco song as well as a special medley of some of the real classics from the group which has turned millions of people around the world on to their music for 15 years… The Beach Boys. Captain Mike, who vividly remembers just getting his driver's license in 1963 as "Surfin' USA" was trembling out of the AM radio, constructed this set to show that with super groups like the Beach Boys, it's really been there all the time. Peter "Hallajeula 2000" Davis provided the extra tambourines, and Mike & Mary, Peter "Hands" White, and Chico gave us the clap. The set starts out with "Here Comes The Night", the Beach Boys debut disco single on Caribou/CBS. Bruce Johnston produced, mixing with Randy Sills and Curt Becher. After their scream reminescent of John Benitez's "In The Bush" Medley, and some wonderful synthesizers, strings and percussion arranged by Bob Esty, it's old home week, with "California Girls", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Do It Again", "You're So Good To Me", "I Can Hear Music", "Wendy", and "Help Me Rhonda", all of which appeared on Capitol between 1965 and 1969. The medley goes back to "Here Comes The Night" with an extra 25 second percussion overlay at the end to sparkle some creative mixes on your part. (Gino Soccio's "Dancer" and Ferrara's "Wuthering Heights" are two of several super segs.)
