Hoping to placate the record company and thereby buy himself valuable time to continue working on Pet Sounds, head Beach Boy Brian Wilson conjured the Party! concept. The band invited a gang of friends to the recording studio, sunk a few beers and proceeded to record the supposedly spontaneous results. In fact, the waggish banter and party atmosphere were overdubbed later. For once, the--admittedly sparse--acoustic instrumentation, is actually provided by the band. With the exception of a medley of their own "I Get Around" and "Little Deuce Coupe", all the tracks are covers. Highlights of this ragged and far from essential set include the surprise hit "Barbara Ann", featuring a harmonising Dean Torrence of Jan And Dean, and a Dennis Wilson-led take on John Lennon's Dylan pastiche, "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away".
Stack-o-Tracks is probably the most bizarre album in the Beach Boys catalogue and frankly, that's quite some achievement. It consists of instrumental backing tracks from 15 of the band's biggest early to mid-60s hits, with the vocals simply erased. Fundamentally, it's an early attempt at karaoke. Indeed, the original release was accompanied by a song booklet, complete with full musical arrangements and lyrics, to aid those wishing to play and sing along. It's most odd. --Chris King
