Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys is a 1993 boxed set released by Capitol Records which collects tracks spanning The Beach Boys' entire career to that point on four CDs. A fifth disc contains mostly studio session tracks, complete vocal and instrumental tracks, and rare live performances. The set also includes a car window decal. Though it never charted, Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys went gold in the US just over four months after its release.
The first four discs anthologize the band with mostly mono single versions, but also several demos and unreleased songs; the tracks are organized essentially in chronological order. Included is 30 minutes of music from the 1966/1967 Smile sessions, which had never been officially released, though had been heavily bootlegged for years. In addition, there is a hidden recording at the end of Disc 1 of a young Brian Wilson singing "Happy Birthday Four Freshmen" to his favorite vocal group into his multi-track tape recorder in 1960.
All songs by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, except where noted. Tracks noted [*] were previously unreleased. Tracks noted [+] are from the original 1966–67 Smile sessions.
All previously unreleased except part of the "Good Vibrations" sessions.
Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys (Capitol 0777 7 81294 2) never charted in either the US or the UK.
