Endless Summer

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Brian Wilson's brilliance manifested itself in the euphoric, cheerfully square, sun-and-fun stuff heard here early on, before it got darker and more complicated. Endless Summer runs from the beginning of the Boys' pinstriped career to 1965, right before the melancholy of Pet Sounds, but also includes the inescapable "Good Vibrations." You can hear a few hints of adolescent sadness and fear--"Help Me, Rhonda" is essentially a kids' sing-along about a wrenching emotional rebound, and the shadow of death is hiding somewhere in "Don't Worry, Baby"--but Wilson is mostly concerned with the cars, waves, and girls that made up the Boys' public image, and his ingenious arrangements (coupled with the group's inimitable harmonies) make everything go down as smoothly as lemonade. --Douglas Wolk

Classical Beach Boys........2007-07-16

It's a fair collection if you want to have some Beach Boys music in your catalog. I can listen to two, maybe three Beach Boys songs in a row and then I'm very ready for something else. This is a great CD for pulling a song for this CD burn, or that iPod file.

Beach BoysEndless Summer.......2006-08-18

I am an original fan of the Beach Boys and the Beatles. The first two albums I ever bought at age 13 were Meet The Beatles and Surfer Girl. After all these years, when I want to listen to the Beach Boys, I always grab Endless Summer. There have been many compilations of Beach Boys Hits over the years, but none come close to this, even the new Sounds of Summer. Endless Summer stayed within that early three year period and the programming of the album is perfect(even though they used the inferior LP version of Help Me Ronda). It is still the best Beach Boys album of old material.

Flawed but timeless.......2006-07-26

"Endless Summer" is an essential compilation, supposedly the new 'remastered' "Sounds Of Summer" is so-called 'definitive,' but I don't think so. "Endless Summer" is more than a compilation; it turned the Beach Boys around since they were rapidly declining at the time.

The LP/CD release is notorious for having stereo versions of the singles, and also incorrect versions of "Be True To Your School" and "Help Me, Rhonda." The gold DCC release fixes this by substituting the actual single versions, but it still has stereo versions of some of the singles (which is not bad at all.)

If you can snag the gold CD, especially if it is a bargain, go ahead and get it, otherwise don't even bother with this disc. Get the double disc "Greastest Hits" from Razor and Tie instead.

Sidetracked.......2006-06-22

I've owned several of the Beach Boys compilations and few have been disappointing. This one is. I can't believe that a major record company would put out a product like this and not realize the mistakes involved. "Help Me, Rhonda" has an entire track missing, and it's blatantly obvious to anyone who has ears. "Be True to Your School" is an inferior cut. Why this one is included I fail to understand. It too is missing an entire track. There are other excellent compilations of Beach Boys material out there worth your hard earned money. Let this one slide!

oh yeah............2006-05-22

I'm only 19 years old and The Beach Boys are my all time favorite group of that era. I used to have this album on tape but lost it somewhere. I'm from California so me and my best friend cruise around town listenin to The Beach Boys. I haven't been able to find this album in stores. I listen to them so much I know all thier songs from this album.

A Worthy Reissue.......2007-05-31

"Endless Summer" has already been venerated in the minds of many avant-garde music fans as a masterpiece. In fact, it has set the bar for ambient, electronic music in the 21st century thus far. Worthy of countless replays, for so many reasons, "Endless Summer" means so many things to so many different people. It's glitchy electronica ultimately reveals underlying harmonies, its more organic "melodies" really offer pop music in mechanical form, and its often-dreamy ambiance reflects an aesthetic perfectly fitting give the title. If you are new to the avant-garde area, there is nothing I can tell you about this album, because it approaches music different than pop music. I will say this; if you are a fan of love, a fan of summer, a fan of dreams - you should probably listen to Endless Summer.

Donna Summer: ENDLESS SUMMER: GREATEST HITS (1994).......2006-11-18

In November of 1994, after releasing CHRISTMAS SPIRIT, Donna Summer next album entitled, ENDLESS SUMMER: GREATEST HITS, an album featuring sixteen of Donna Summer's all-time greatest hits, as well as featuring two new studio recorded tracks. This is an album that will make all of your Summer become an Endless Summer.

MELODY OF LOVE (WANNA BE LOVED)
New Song. The first song from the album. Great song.

LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY (Single Version)
Original version from the album LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY (1975). Great song. This track still remains a classic.

COULD IT BE MAGIC (Single Version)
Original version from the album A LOVE TRILOGY (1976). One of the greatest cover songs I have ever heard.

I FEEL LOVE (Single Version)
Original version from the album I REMEMBER YESTERDAY (1977). Still a classic.

LAST DANCE
From the original motion picture & original motion picture soundtrack THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY (1978). Great song, still a classic.

MacARTHUR PARK (Radio Version)
Original version from the single MacARTHUR PARK (1978). Still a great song.

HEAVEN KNOWS
From the single HEAVEN KNOWS (1978). Great song.

HOT STUFF
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Still a great rock/disco song.

BAD GIRLS
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Amazing.

DIM ALL THE LIGHTS
From the album BAD GIRLS (1979). Seems as though Donna Summer's 1979 album, BAD GIRLS, was a massive hit. This is another great track.

NO MORE TEARS (ENOUGH IS ENOUGH) (performed by Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer) (Single Version)
Original version from Barbra Streisand's album WET (1979). Even this 4:43 minute radio/single version, this track is still the best Diva Duet I have ever heard.

ON THE RADIO
From the album ON THE RADIO: GREATEST HITS VOLUMES I & II (1979). Still a classic song. Can you imagine that this song is so popular that it is still being heard "On The Radio"?

THE WANDERER
From the album THE WANDERER (1980). Awesome song.

LOVE IS IN CONTROL (FINGER ON THE TRIGGER)
From the album DONNA SUMMER (1982). Great song.

STATE OF INDEPENDENCE
From the album DONNA SUMMER (1982). Great song.

SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY
From the album SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY (1983). Still an awesome song about all of the hard-working women out there. We guys have to remember that, "She works hard for the money, so hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money, so we better treat her right".

THIS TIME I KNOW IT'S FOR REAL
From the album ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME (1989). Still an awesome song that I cannot stop listening to.

ANY WAY AT ALL
New song. Great song.

This is a great compilation, but I wish that Donna would have included "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It", "Spring Affair", "Once Upon A Time", "Rumour Has It", "I Love You", "Sunset People", "Cold Love", "Unconditional Love" (performed by Donna Summer & Musical Youth), "There Goes My Baby", "Supernatural Love", "All Systems Go", "I Don't Wanna Get Hurt", & "Love's About To Change My Heart", but this album is still amazing, featuring most of Donna's greatest hits on one CD.

no one and I mean NO ONE is better than DONNA!!!.......2006-05-31

being only 13 years old, I wouldnt have every thought in a million years that i would become so ADDICTED to donna summer. It is weird, I know, but I can't help it.

I LOVE YOU DONNA!!!!!!!!!! keep it up

hey does anyone know if there is a donna summer fan club????PLEASE let me know if you find out!

Great 70s Disco Music!.......2005-12-25

Donna Summer is the ultimate queen of Disco. No doubt about it.

Summer of Love. Donna is a disco primadonna(some times).......2005-09-21

Sure this is Donna Summer`s greatest hits. Some tracks blow you away, some dont. The new track on this album Melody of Love is not to much to shout hurray to. But when it comes to the classics that`s another cup of tea. And i dont mean the oldest one, but at the end of the 70 ths she troughly shine. It start`s with Track 9. Hot stuff and Track 10 Bad Girls. That`s what i called Disco with a sting in it. It brings sweet memories back to when the disco was cool and has a certain creativity over it. You can skip trough much of the other stuff. Track 10 Bad Girls is the ultimate Summer Hit, no over, no besides. That`s a fact Track 15 She works hard for the Money has enough tempo upbeat to make your dance. Also when she uses the same producers as early Sam Fox used back in the 80 ths(stock/aitken/waterman) Summer shines, especially on Track 17 and Track 18
This time i know its for real and I dont wanna get hurt.
Still Summer is good to listen to when the weather is bad. She still sparks sometimes

Endless Summer.......2005-09-07

I must admit that I never really found Donna Summer that interesting (yes I'm a big disco fan) but somehow she just seemed like an obvious choice, so I stayed away. I woke up one day and decided to give it a try, so I bought "Endless Summer" which has all of her most well known songs compiled in their edited versions. All the hits are here: "Hot Stuff", "MacArthur Park", "Last Dance" and "Love to Love You Baby". I'm so glad that Donna didn't turn into one of those "has been" disco singers like Gloria Gaynor (I feel so sorry for her, aimlessly lost, she recorded some truly awful albums in the 80's with shameless covers of such songs as "I Will Always Love You", "Careless Whisper" and endless re-recordings of her only true worldwide hit "I Will Survive"). That being said, I do enjoy listening to both Gaynor and Summer, but I must say that I prefer Grace Jones and Loleatta Holloway any day over them. :)

Great music from a great movie.......2007-03-19

From when i was 9 to when i was 13 i must have watched endless summer II at least 200 times, literally. When i was 17 i wanted to watch it again but couldnt find it, i remember the soundtrack was awesome so i picked it up. Classic stuff, riptide makes me want to go surfing like no other song. Gary Hoey rules, and the rest of band is good too so it's not totally guitar-centric. Got to do some driving? Put this in, put some shades on, one arm on the wheel and you're good to go.

QUESTION: HOEY? WHO HE?.......2006-08-01

I'm kind of a quirky character - "unique" is the word that my friends have used to describe me. Those who were not my friends used other less friendly words from time to time, but those people are all dead now so there's no point in our discussing them. One of my little "quirks" is to occasionally ask odd questions from out of the blue. It might be a reasonable question such as, "The year of your best Summer?" (Mine was '74, how 'bout yers?) Or the question might be something totally nonsensical like, "What did you do when the crops failed?" Now, if you expect to remain a friend of mine for very long you will be required to consistently reply immediately with something (at least mildly amusing) that we can develop into a full-blown, long-term nonsensical discussion. Acceptable answers to that last question would go something like: "We turned to cannibalism" or "I died in the famine." You get the idea?

When I suddenly blurted out, "Best guitarist?" to my buddy at work, The Great LC, he answered, "Gary Hoey." I said, "HOEY? WHO HE?" I thought I had heard of all the highly acclaimed guitarists but this cat was news to me. Well, the compact disc-addicted Rams fan, The Great LC, loaned me a copy of one of his Hoey CDs and I was turned onto truly one of the most unjustly unknown six-string slingers extant. And it came as an added surprise and bonus when I discovered that 'Who He Hoey' had also written and performed the musical soundtrack for the movie sequel 'ENDLESS SUMMER II' (1994). The first 'ENDLESS SUMMER' movie (1966) you'll remember was the original full-length movie on surfing that -- along with the fabulous music of The Beach Boys -- really pushed the sport into the American consciousness, and it is still considered the classic, holy grail of surfing films. (In the days before art house/cult flick movie theatres and Beta/VHS tapes, they used to show 'Endless Summer' at the packed Santa Monica Civic Auditorium to kids like me who rode waves all Summer long in our quest for skin cancer. That was before the invention of sunblock, ya understand!)

So, is 'Who He Hoey' really the "best guitarist"? Well, The Great LC ain't no dummy, and I'd say that Hoey is darned sure in the running; the cat can really sling it! I think I'd still have to side with Danny Gatton because, despite his amazing versatility, I'm not sure Hoey could quite match Gatton's exquisite finesse on numbers like 'Canadian Sunset' and 'Poinciana.' But I'd certainly be interested in seeing the boys duel. That won't happen any time soon though because Gatton "died in the famine" of '94.

But let's briefly examine this soundtrack and see what 'Who He Hoey' is doing on it: The first thing you'll be happy to find is that this does NOT sound like your typical movie soundtrack album. There is none of that draggy "movie music" with cheesy orchestras sawing away on strings that meander over nondescript melodies - you know wot ahm talkin' 'bout here: FILLER! No way dudes and dudettes, this is a SERIOUS surf guitar rock album! This is the one movie soundtrack album that REALLY ROCKS! I mean this baby makes most so-called "real" Hard Rock guitar albums sound like the "movie filler" we've been talkin' 'bout here!

It opens with 'RIPTIDE', a highly electrified excursion into swirling waters of sonic danger. (How many of you blokes know how to swim out of a riptide? There's a secret to it, but I'm keepin' it to myself.)

'BLAST' is a heavy-chorded piece of menace (think Black Sabbath or sumpin' like dat), but 'SWEET WATER' is a fluidly-picked bit of metal funk and neo-reggae rhythms.

Then we get Hoey's outrageous cover of the old War classic, 'LOW RIDER' - the unofficial theme song of my hometown, Los Angeles (maybe you've heard of the place?) It's obvious that Hoey's amplifiers go up to 11 and that's where he keeps 'em set during most of these recordings.

If you don't get mental pictures of some long-haired surfer dude pulling off spinners and hanging ten on his longboard while Hoey plays his original composition 'WALKIN' THE NOSE' then you simply have no imagination whatsoever (and yer gonna be in big trouble when out of the blue I ask you to, "Tell me about your business with Roger O'Vernout.")

'DRIVE' has a nice little melody; it's not gonna wake the children or anything, but it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.

With 'LA ROSA NEGRA' (that means "The White Petunia" in Spanish), Hoey gives us his Carlos Santana impersonation; it's fairly Latinized for a White Surfer-lookin' guy, and it's a "daisy" of a tune.

OK, yer halfway thru this disc now, Surfcats. 'LINUS AND LUCY' is a cover of Vince Guaraldi's famous theme song for the Charlie Brown TV specials, and Hoey launches into it with all kinds of weird harmonic shifts and...somehow I'm tinkin' dat Linus an' da kids (and even Snoopy) would have had a difficult time doing their goofy dances to this version!

'SURFDOGGIN' is one of my favorite tracks. It's a bit O' tickling Country/Surf pickin' (I dunno; me tinks 'Who He Hoey' may have invented a new genre with this composition) and it really shows off his nimble fingers as they fly all over that fretboard and make me smile - this piece has a real sense O' humor...SERIOUSLY! "No, no, I'm nuh kiddin' you, uh!"

'PIPE' is an almost indescribably moody composition with Hoey's sparking guitar trading licks with Bud "Barefoot and Slippery" Shank's nasty Tenor Sax and Tony Franklin's great grumbling Bass pushing everything through the whitewater - probably my very favorite cut.

Hoey duets with one of his heroes, surf guitar legend DICK DALE on Dale's classic 'SHAKE & STOMP (Part II)' and it sounds like that wacko who used to juggle live chain saws on Venice Beach...only faster and louder. Forget about waking the children, this one's gonna getcha evicted from yer apartment.

'THEME FROM THE ENDLESS SUMMER' is the theme song from the movie 'Endless Summer' (guess that's why they called it that) and I've liked the tune since I first heard the original recording by The Sandals. (Maybe that's the version some of these other reviewers here had in mind.)

'ESCAPE' is pure Heavy Metal "Shock 'N' Awe' pyrotechnics. You might as well crank it up because the manager's already on his way over to yer unit with the eviction notice in his hand anyway.

And the disc ends with the surprisingly "spiritual" 'THE DEEP' - it's an electric ballad with long notes of sustain. With this one, 'Who He Hoey' proves that still waters really do run DEEP - this is a genuinely moving piece of introspection and a fitting way to end what is otherwise an energetic assault, like an electric eel attack while riding waves in the Big Blue. And for that reason, I love to workout to this disc! Yer gonna dig it too.

I'll end this review now with just one question for ya: "What were you doing on the trail with Lewis and Clark?"

Wow!.......2005-12-14

First, I have never seen the movie and nor do you need to, to enjoy this CD. This CD came out at a very formitive point in my life and has helped me recover from a surgury or two. The music contained herein is magical. Gary's not preoccupied by beating you over the head with riff after riff. He's able to convey real emotion and pathos out of each song. There are quite a few homages to other guitar players works on this disk. But, Gary is able to maintain his style throught each song. Other players like Vai and Satch seem to favor more of a style over substance approach. Don't get me wrong, they are both great players. Gary's work seems less like a guitar playing exercise and more like a spiritual convergence. Brilliant album.

The best guitarist you've never heard of..........2003-08-11

Gary Hoey does things with a guitar that I find amazing. As a guitarist myself, I know how difficult some of the things he does are. He plays some really fun songs, like 'Linus and Lucy' the Peanuts Theme, and gives them a hard rock edge. He's also done 'Low Rider' and a bunch of other songs that I think are great.

This CD, the soundtrack to the surfing movie, The Endless Summer II, is great. There is a wide assortment of songs on this disk from Linus and Lucy, to The Deep, one of my personal favorites.

Having never seen the movie, I can't tell you anything about it, but the soundtrack is fantastic!

WHAT A TALENT.......2003-06-26

I've now got 6 HOEY CD's and enjoy each and every one of them. This man is a genius. There may be better technicians playing the guitar today, but rarely does another guitarist write such consistently beautifull tunes. These are more than just vehicles for his solo's. These are great songs ( without words ) that at times are emotional enough to speak to you. Even when HOEY plays at full tilt he doesn't loose sight of the composition. The more I hear of this outstanding talent the more I love his stuff. VI and SATRIANI never reach the emotion that HOEY reaches with his musik. He rarely if ever plays for the sole purpose of impressing with his chops. His quiter moments bring tears to my eyes. Simply brilliant!!

ENDLESS PLEASURE.......2006-03-11

Endless Summer is a chronological collection of Donna's greatest hits from the middle 1970s (Love To Love You Baby) through the late 1980s (This Time I Know It's For Real).

It offers the best of her dance classics like I Feel Love, MacArthur Park, Hot Stuff, Bad Girls; the best of her ballads such as Dim All The Lights and On The Radio; plus great pop songs from the decade of the 1980s when she worked with a variety of producers.

My favourites amongst her post-disco work include the majestic State Of Independence and This Time I Know It's For Real. This collection proves that Donna could do it all - her mastery of various styles is complete and her talent has stood the test of time.

Five stars for this great album by a singer who was once the Queen of Disco but has proved herself a consummate vocalist and a true original long after the disco lights had faded.
