DESCRIPTION
Details: Two CD collection of the earliest Beach Boys recordings. In September of 1961 Al Jardine, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, and Mike Love stepped up to a microphone together for the first time at the home of Hite and Dorinda Morgan to demo The Beach Boys' first three songs. Between that September date and March 1962, before signing a seven-year contract with Capitol Records on May 24, 1962, they committed nine songs to tape under the direction of Hite and Dorinda Morgan. Some iconic, others obscure-"Surfin', " "Luau, " "Lavender, " "Surfin' Safari, " "Surfer Girl, " "Judy, " "Beach Boy Stomp" (aka "Karate"), "Barbie, " and "What Is A Young Girl Made Of"- Every complete take, false start, master take, and every second of studio banter during these historic recordings is gathered on this landmark collection, Becoming The Beach Boys: The Complete Hite & Dorinda Morgan Sessions.
