The Beach Boys - Party! - Expanded Version (1965)

"Party" by the Beach Boys is arguably the first "unplugged" style album. In 1965, the Beach Boys were taking their time recording their next album "Pet Sounds." But they'd been churning out more than one album a year, and their record company wanted more product. So as a stop-gap measure, the band recorded a bunch of songs, mostly covers, in an acoustic style in the studio. Then they've overdubbed some banter by friends and family to make it sound as if the whole thing had been spontaneously recorded at a party. It worked. The album was a big hit, and it contained the hit "Barbara Ann" as well.

In 2015, the album was re-released in greatly expanded form as "Beach Boys' Party: Uncovered and Unplugged," with 81 tracks. That's way too many tracks for my tastes, since the vast majority were just slightly different versions of the same bunch of songs. But this version did contain seven outtakes of unique songs. So I'm posting the original album in full, with the extra songs at the end. That's the best way to do it in my opinion, because the songs flow into each other due to all the banter and noises between the songs.

Although this was designed as a stop-gap measure, it's a really fun album in its own right, in my opinion. The original version was only 31 minutes long. It's a more satisfying listen with the extra songs, making it a 46 minute long album instead.

I kept the original cover. The only change I made was that I added the words "Expanded Edition" in the same font as the original.
