It rose to number four in the US during a forty-nine week chart stay, and was certified gold by the RIAA. "I Get Around" preceded the album's release by some two months and quickly raced to become their first number one single in the US; they also had a UK Top 10 debut with a number seven peak. The album's sessions were recorded in the aftermath of the British Invasion, marking a major turning point in the Beach Boys' career, and in bandleader/primary songwriter Brian Wilson as an artist. ''All Summer Long'' was to be their final album which reveled in California beach culture. Songs from this album are also featured on the EP ''Four by The Beach Boys''. ==Background== "Drive-In" was recorded shortly after the release of ''Little Deuce Coupe'' in October 1963.〔 Beginning in February 1964, Bandleader Brian Wilson engaged in a rigorous period of songwriting, emerging some weeks afterwards with songs including "I Get Around", "All Summer Long", "Wendy" and "Girls on the Beach". That April, during the recording sessions of "I Get Around" and "Little Honda", Brian relieved his father Murry Wilson of his managerial duties after three years. An attempt at reconciliation on Murry's part, much of it captured on the tapes for the 1965 recording sessions of "Help Me, Rhonda", cemented the break. In an interview with Hit Parader, Brian later recalled, "We love the () family thing – y'know: three brothers, a cousin and a friend is a really beautiful way to have a () group – but the extra generation can become a hang-up."〔("The Beach Boy Empire" Taylor, Derek. October 5, 1966. Hit Parader, p13 )〕 ''All Summer Long'' was to be the Beach Boys' final album which reveled in California beach culture.〔 Only one song explicitly references surfing: "Don't Back Down"; while "Little Honda" is the only hot rod song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Summer Long (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
