The Beach Boys’ tumultuous career features a slew of hit singles and over 100 million records sold worldwide. Released in the ‘70s, Surf’s Up marks the band’s most artistic endeavor filled with daring and intricate harmonies. The material and its arrangements were ambitiously bold. The album includes the compelling standouts, “A Day in the Life of a Tree,” “‘Til I Die,” and “Surf’s Up.” This under-appreciated gem is an enduring testament to the band’s iconic legacy.

Friends is The Beach Boys' 14th studio album originally released in 1968. Many of the album's songs were inspired by Transcendental Meditation and the group's recent interactions with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It was initially met with a mild critical reception and peaked at number 126 on the US Billboard charts for what was then group's worst chart performance to date. In the UK, the album peaked at number 13.
