Capitol

Capitol Records, founded in 1942 as Liberty Records, is a renowned music label based in Hollywood, California. With a rich history and impressive sales of 42 million records by 1946, Capitol quickly became one of the Big Six studios. In 1955, it was acquired by British company EMI for $8.5 million and later became part of the Universal Music Group's Worldwide division in 1979. The merger with Priority Records in 2001 further solidified Capitol's position in the industry.

EMI began releasing Capitol products in the UK, Europe, and Australasia from January 1956 onwards after licenses with other record companies expired. Over the years, Capitol has seen various changes in ownership and management. In September 2012, it was purchased by Vivendi S.A., owner of Universal Music Group.

Capitol Records is known for its distinctive album prefix codes that provide valuable information about each release. These codes include letters indicating stereo or mono recordings, price codes denoting different list prices, indicators for multiple discs or special packaging.

The Beach Boys are an American rock band from Hawthorne, California that formed in 1961. Their vocal harmonies, early surf songs, and innovative recordings remain a massive influence on popular music today.
With their distinctive sound and iconic harmonies, The Beach Boys have become one of the most influential bands in the history of rock music. Originating from Hawthorne, California in 1961, this talented group quickly rose to fame with their catchy surf songs and innovative recordings.
Their unique blend of vocals and instrumental arrangements set them apart from other bands of their time, paving the way for future generations of musicians. Even today, The Beach Boys' music continues to captivate audiences worldwide and serve as a testament to their enduring legacy.

Married together as a 2-CD package for the first time, these two long-haired, counter-cultural Beach Boys albums (from 1972 and 1973 respectively) make strange bedfellows. Holland, our essentials choice, is the Beach Boys "Great Outdoors" record, beating the retreat from the sand and surf of yore to the redwood forests and mountains of "Calfornia Saga", with evocative stories of fur-trappers, traders, Native-American rights and dreamlike, hazy summer afternoons on riverbanks shaded by paddle steamers. It was also their last great studio album.
