The Beach Boys have opened their archives for a new career-spanning, six-CD collection titled Made In California, capping the legendary band s 50th Anniversary celebrations. Made In California features more than seven and a half hours of music, including more than 60 previously unreleased tracks. The deluxe set is presented in a high school annual-inspired hardbound book with personal recollections from the band s members, replicated classic artwork and memorabilia, photos from the band s archive, and handwritten yearbook-style inscriptions from Beach Boys Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks. 　　Made In California chronologically charts the 50-year career of America s Band, from their earliest demos to their most recent recordings. With huge hits and rare gems including never-before-released original songs, home demos, alternate takes and mixes, and live concert, television and radio performances, the set showcases the breadth and diversity of The Beach Boys recorded catalog and illustrates the band s unique and evocative West Coast story. From Surfin Safari to God Only Knows, Wouldn t It Be Nice and Good Vibrations to Kokomo, The Beach Boys canon boasts a masterful versatility that is unparalleled in American popular music. 　　Made In California s memorabilia includes Brian Wilson s 1959 high school essay titled My Philosophy, which is reproduced in the collection s book in its original handwritten form (the original is currently on display in The GRAMMY Museum s yearlong Beach Boys exhibit celebrating the band s 50-year career). 　　Made In California s previously unreleased and long sought-after recordings include Goin To The Beach, California Feelin , Soul Searchin , You ve Lost That Lovin Feeling, and You re Still A Mystery, among others.
