  Surfer Girl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surfer Girl was the third album officially released by The Beach Boys and their second longplayer in 1963.
An interesting note: "South Bay Surfer" is co-credited to Al Jardine, who had recently rejoined The Beach Boys in the summer of 1963 to replace Brian on the road (which he was already tiring of).
Surfer Girl (Capitol (S)T 1981) is now paired on CD with Shut Down Volume 2, with bonus tracks from that period.

 Surfer Girl
"Surfer Girl" the song definitely was sung by the Beach Boys.
However, parts of SURFER GIRL the album apparently were sung by Brian and his friends.
According to Rich Alarian, a high school friend of Brian's and a member of the Survivors, he and Bob Norberg were recruited by Brian to add backing vocals to four or five songs to finish the SURFER GIRL album while the rest of the Beach Boys were on the road.

Before the appropriately-named SURFER GIRL album made it out, the alike-titled single was issued in July and quickly rose to # 7 at home, confirming to Capitol that they were wise to let Brian take complete artistic control of the band.
Despite a couple of weak moments, the advancements made on SURFER GIRL justified Brian's dominance in the band and was the first step in a new chapter of The Beach Boys’ career.
This album was probably meant to be The Beach Boys’ last album of 1963, but, unexpectedly, Brian was forced to bring the band into the studio before SURFER GIRL was even released, to record their fourth album.

 The Beach Boys
The album was rushed out REALLY fast, recorded very quickly with whatever songs the group happened to have lying around in their songbooks, plus a single or two.
Not a bad album but the constant touring was starting to strain Brian Wilson and the rest, but their was also another factor: Beatlemania started during the release of this album and threatened to take some of their popularity away.
My problem with the album grew not from the most common gripe that the majority of the tracks are minor key ballads, and the fact that there is a lack of diversity, it's simply that too many of the tracks are quite simply nowhere near good enough to be considered classic album material.

 The Beach Boys : Surfer Girl/Shut Down, Vol. 2 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Surfer Girl was the album on which the group's and Brian Wilson's sound blossomed, and it did so on several levels.
The title track was the first song that Brian ever wrote, and it's lucky that he saved it for this stage in their history, for it features surprising elegant and lush harmonies.
2 was the group's second album built around car songs and the material shows a surprising range of sounds and textures.

Their fourth album, a themed collection of car songs, contains four songs (including the title track) previously released on earlier albums and was therefore put on a different twofer to avoid duplication on the same CD.
The Surfer girl album is the stronger of the two albums here, with seven of the twelve songs being surfing music, of which I particularly like the title track, Hawaii and Catch a wave.
According to the liner notes the double-sided single Surfer Girl and Little Deuce Coupe was recorded on 12 June 1963 and the other 10 tracks that make up the album Surfer Girl were entirely recorded at Western Studios in Hollywood on 16 July 1963; quite a feat.

The album is primarily about surfing and the word "surfer" is in 5 of the 12 song titles.
Both the surfer songs and the ballads do not need to be more than 2 minutes long to inflict their ultra-poppiness on you.
The album’s 3 ballads are all nice songs, but seem ridiculously corny around 35 years later.

By the time Surfer Girl rolled around, Brian was not only feeling his oats as a steady singer and songwriter, but also that of a producer as he does so on this album, the first truly strong offering from the Beach Boys.
Surfer Girl was an astronomic leap forward from the simple three chord 'rock-outs' of their first two albums, SURFIN' SAFARI and SURFIN' USA.
Though most of the album is great, there are some real stinkers on there too (The instrumental THE ROCKIN' SURFER and the naff SOUTH BAY SURFERS are clunky and uninteresting) but overall the album is varied, fun, thoughtful and a definite leap forward for the group.

This album is the first indispensible product in their catalog, containing several classic songs, and a giant leap forward in songwriting and producing skills by Brian Wilson, who was already beginning to stretch and break from the typical rock formula.

This is the Beach Boys' third and fifth albums Surfer Girl (September 1963) and Shut Down, Vol.
Dennis turns in a terrific vocal performance on "Surfers Rule." "The Surfer Moon" in addition to featuring a lovely vocal by Brian also marks the first use of a string arrangement by the Beach Boys.
Even the themes of girls and cars are lent tremendous import by their masterful touch, whether its yearning ballads like "Surfer Girl" and "Don't Worry Baby," the braggadocio and pride of "Little Deuce Coupe" or "Our Car Club," the contemplation of "In My Room," or the sheer glee of "Fun, Fun, Fun."

 In Concert
The original IN CONCERT album was a single disc set, not a two-record set like the one that came out.
The recordings on the original version of the album were made on the group's Winter 1972 tour (with Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille among the backing musicians), while the recordings on the released album were made on the group's Summer 1973 tour.
BTW, the live "Heroes and Villains" on ENDLESS HARMONY SOUNDTRACK is from the original version of the IN CONCERT album.

Presented in chronological order, with session dates and photos appropriate to each album, these CD's are perhaps the most important ever released for scholars and serious fans of The Beach Boys.
The second in the "Unsurpassed Masters" series tackles the Beach Boys sophmore "Surfin' USA" sessions, and in my opinion is more enjoyable than the first disc, due to the increased confidence of the Beach Boys, the greater variety and quality of songs, and the continued excellence of the sonics (listening over digital headphones is great).
The "Surfer Girl" sessions disc was a disappointment to me, due to one main reason: I consider "Surfer Girl" to be the first great album in the Beach Boys' canon, and the out-takes presented here don't reflect that.

Signed to Poison Ring Records, a small Connecticut company, the group recorded their first album in 1972, live in the studio to an audience that had previously been plied with lots of wine.
There was a spin-off however - a 45 single of one of the songs from the album.
The single was Comeau's "LITTLE DEAD SURFER GIRL", a satire of 50's rock-a-ballads.

 The Beach Boys : Surfer Girl - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Consequently, most of their pre-1965 albums contain a high degree of filler, and thus stack up poorly next to those of such contemporaries as the Beatles, who were able to maintain high standards on almost all of their tracks.
Surfer Girl does have some great tunes, including the title song, the hot rod ditty "Little Deuce Coupe," and "Catch a Wave" (which could have been a substantial hit single on its own merits).
Most significant of all is the gorgeous ballad "In My Room," which anticipated future Beach Boys releases both in its sophisticated production (strings, organ, dense harmonies) and its personal, solipsistic lyrics.

The first album of the two that make up this twofer, Little deuce coupe, is mostly about cars, while the second, All summer long, is mostly about the beach although cars also feature on that album.
The lovely ballad "Girls on the Beach" is a finer tribute to beach bunnies than "Surfer Girl" in my opinion and the title track's encapsulation of the joys of summer: (sights, sounds, even tastes) is one of the "shoulda been" hits that leave you scratching your head.
Somewhat more interesting is the albums ending-- a rewrite of the a capella "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring" as "A Young Man Is Gone", but the Boys singing the original lyrics is available on the Smiley Smile/Wild Honey twofer and is vastly superior.

 Beach Boys Surfer Girl   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
After the success of the Beach Boys' first two Nik Venet-produced albums (Surfin' Safari and Surfin' USA), the late veteran producer graciously handed the studio reins to band founder and chief songwriter Brian Wilson, and one of the most spectacular--and troubling--careers in American popular music truly began to blossom.
The title track was the band's first top 10 ballad (and last surfing-themed hit, this in the summer of 1963!) and a notable step forward in the maturation of its sound.
After scoring a handful of hits from their first two albums SURFIN' SAFARI and SURFIN' U.S.A.,they score more from this late 1963 release.
