Beach Boys' Party! is the
tenth studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, and their third in
1965, consisting mostly of cover songs played with acoustic instruments. It reached No. 6 in the US and
No. 3 in the UK. The album spawned one single, a cover of the
Regents' "Barbara Ann", which reached No. 2 in the US and No. 3 in
the UK, and was their highest-charting British single to that point.
Party! was recorded
in a music studio and presented as an impromptu live recording of a party, with
informal chatter by friends and family overdubbed later. The record company, Capitol,
wanted an album for the holiday season, but as there was no new material ready,
several options were considered, including a greatest hits album and a live
album, before the band decided on the party theme. The Beach Boys covered songs
by the Beatles, several doo-wop groups, Bob Dylan, and the Everly Brothers.
While the "beach party" atmospherics fit into the Beach Boys style to
that point, the varied musical influences presaged the change of direction that
would occur over the next several years beginning with Pet Sounds(1966).
Because of its
stripped-down approach, Party! is considered to be the first "unplugged"
type album. In 2015, Capitol issued Beach Boys' Party! Uncovered and Unplugged,
an 81-track expansion and remix of Party!.
