Best of the Beach Boys Vol. 2 is a compilation album by the American rock band the Beach Boys. It is a sequel to the previous year's hits package. It was compiled by Capitol Records after Brian Wilson had announced the shelving of Smile.
Best of the Beach Boys Vol. 2 initially flopped in the US, only reaching #50. The fact that Smile had been shelved two months earlier meant the group had no new material to release in time for the Summer of Love, although the music composed for that album was radical enough to have been part of it. Another commercial blunder came from their failure to appear at the Monterey International Pop Festival, which they had helped to organize and had been slated to headline as the closing act.
However, a reworked track list issued under the same title in the UK in late 1967 proved to be another big success. Like its predecessor, Best of the Beach Boys Vol. 2 is out of print.




Track listing



The Duophonic version of the album features true stereo mixes of "Long Tall Texan", "Don't Worry Baby" and "Little Saint Nick".
"Please Let Me Wonder" and "Little Saint Nick" do not appear on the cassette tape version.
Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2 (Capitol (D) 2706) hit number 50 in the US during a 22-week tenure. In the UK, it reached number 3.
