“Having had the privilege of producing and engineering the Beach Boys catalog for the past 35 years, revisiting these five seminal albums and mixing them in Dolby Atmos® reminded me just how creative and influential the records the band released in 1963 and 1964 were and continue to be,” said Mark Linett. “The albums contain some of their most beloved songs, including ‘In My Room,’ ‘Catch A Wave,’ ‘Fun, Fun, Fun,’ ‘Don’t Worry Baby’ and ‘I Get Around’ – a track that topped the singles chart in 1964 in the very midst of the ‘British Invasion.’ These new, immersive mixes were created from the original master tapes and provide a unique way of revisiting and experiencing this timeless music.”

Released last month, Giles Martin’s Dolby Atmos® mix of Pet Soundshas been widely praised, with Sound and Vision calling it, “as stunning as one might expect, more often than not putting you right there in the room with The Beach Boys and The Wrecking Crew in all the best possible ways,” while Grammy.com dubbed it “spectacular,” exclaiming it’s “nothing short of revelatory — shining up each Beach Boy’s vocals, unburying numberless exotic instruments, mapping the musical elements in physical space. All without compromising Brian Wilson’s timbral and harmonic syntheses that characterize this art-rock cornerstone.” Additionally Salon raved, “Martin’s spatial enhancements come shining through no matter the environment; whether you’re listening at home with a top-of-the-line sound bar or sampling the LP through your earbuds, the music of Pet Sounds soars with spatial vistas where once there were only flat soundscapes. The recordings behind Pet Sounds may not have aged, but Martin has ensured that the LP sounds as bright and buoyant as ever.” In order to create this new listening experience, Martin, who was personally asked by The Beach Boys to mix Pet Sounds, was given access to the original analog tapes and built the enveloping and enthralling new mix from the ground up using Brian Wilson’s original 1966 mono mix and Mark Linett’s subsequent 1997 stereo mix as guides.

What’s more, they’ve become woven into the cultural fabric of America. This edition documents how it happened. Told through the words of Brian WilsonMike LoveAl JardineDennis WilsonCarl Wilson and Bruce Johnston, and accompanied by rare and iconic photographs and ephemera, the result is an extraordinary autobiography from America’s biggest band. A limited edition run of 500 copies of “The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys” is now available for pre-order at www.thebeachboysbook.com. The book will also be published as a hardcover edition for bookstores worldwide in 2024, with more details to be announced soon.

Ahead of the highly anticipated “Barbie” movie premiere this weekend, star Margot Robbie shared her love for The Beach Boys in a new interview with Rolling Stone. After being introduced to them thanks to a family member’s tape, the group, she said, became the only thing 5-year-old Margot would listen to. Her love came full circle earlier this year when “Fun, Fun, Fun” was featured prominently in the “Barbie” trailer.
