These 2 were released in the US 1983 and distributed by GSA Records
& Tapes. Vol. 1 is of interest in that it includes The Beach Boys Medley. Does anyone have any info they like to share? Sorry if this topic has been talked about before. Thanks in advance! 😀👍 |

I bought that CD Single when it came out, specifically for that Medley. I don't know if it's been on any other CD's since
then. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could get all those Medley hits that charted between 1981-82 on CD in their original 45 versions from tape? Especially all the Stars On 45 Medleys, the ones from The Beatles and Elvis, The Summer Of '81 Medley and the Hooked On Classics/Swing medleys? I know it'll probably never happen, but it's nice to think about, anyway! ------------- Dan In Philly |

I have the Volume 1 LP with the medley on it. I haven't confirmed if it's
the actual single version or not. |

Wasn't it only available as a single when it first came out in 1981? I don't think there's an Album Version to compare it to. If the Medley runs somewhere in the area of about 4:10, it's probably the correct version. ------------- Dan In Philly |

I had been told many years ago of the existence of a longer non-single
version. Maybe it was a 12 inch release? |

There is a longer Medley on The Beach Boys Rarities CD
from Japan. Don't know where it comes from, though. There's no listings on Discogs of a 12" Single with a longer version. ------------- Dan In Philly |

This may be the longer version of the Medley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhVAOetMo_I - Beach Boys Medley Uptempo The Rarities CD also has a "Ballad" Medley running over 9 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQo7g2bzdQ0 - Beach Boys Medley Ballad ------------- Dan In Philly |

A note: The Beach Boys Medley on Summer Fun,Volume 1 is
the single version. It's from a good tape source on this LP, as are the rest of the tracks in these two volumes. The LP pressings are very high quality, with quiet surfaces. Mastered and pressed by RCA in Indianapolis, Indiana when they got their quality back to superb after the Dynaflex debacle. I recommend these two LP discs in near mint condition for those hunting singles versions. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |
