Composed of mostly cover songs played with acoustic instruments, the album reached number 6 in the US and number 3 in the UK. It spawned one single, a cover of the Regents' "Barbara Ann", which reached number 2 in the US. In the UK, it became the Beach Boys' highest performing single yet, reaching number 3 in early 1966. The album was created to buy time for Brian Wilson to produce ''Pet Sounds'' (1966), their next studio album.〔 The original release of ''Party!'' included a sheet of photographs which misleadingly depicted the band at a party. The album was actually recorded in a music studio, presented as an impromptu live recording of a party with informal chatter by friends and family overdubbed later. Because of its stripped-down approach, ''Party!'' is considered the first "unplugged" album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-beach-boys-1965-album-beach-boys-party-remixed-remastered-and-expanded-without-overdubbed-festivities-for-beach-boys-party-uncovered-and-unplugged-300165264.html )〕 In 2015, Capitol issued ''Beach Boys' Party! Uncovered and Unplugged'', an 81-track expansion and remix of ''Party!''. ==Background and recording== In August, after the release of ''Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)'', the Beach Boys' leader Brian Wilson was contemplating his next studio effort, which would turn out to be ''Pet Sounds''. Capitol Records requested a new album for the holiday season. Since ''The Beach Boys' Christmas Album'' had been released the previous year, as had a live performance via ''Beach Boys Concert'', the "live party" idea was selected to reflect the togetherness of the holiday spirit. Sporadically during September, the band and their friends rehearsed current and older hits (including revisiting the Rivingtons' "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow"). Although presented as a live recording, the individual songs were recorded carefully, and laughter and background chatter was mixed in during post-production.〔 The album included versions of the Beatles' "Tell Me Why", "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" and "I Should Have Known Better"; "Devoted to You" by the Everly Brothers; the Phil Spector produced "There's No Other (Like My Baby)" and a send-up of their own "I Get Around" and "Little Deuce Coupe".〔 David Leaf noted: "In an era when rock stars were beginning to take themselves more seriously, the Beach Boys showed how natural it was to make fun of themselves."〔 Author Geoffrey Himes wrote that the party theme was created to justify the casual arrangements. Music theorist Daniel Harrison writes: "''Party'' was an exercise in minimalistic production ... The performances seem unrehearsed, the instrumental support is minimal (acoustical guitar, bongo drums, tambourine), and fooling around (laughing, affected singing, background conversation) pervades every track." It was Wilson's first exploration in "party tracks", a form of music which includes the sounds of people shouting and making noises as if at a party. He would later continue this approach with ''Smiley Smile'' in 1967. Several other songs were also recorded, but not put on the album. This included renditions of the Drifters' "Ruby Baby", the Beatles' song "Ticket to Ride", the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind", the Robins' "Riot In Cell Block #9", and several other songs, all of which were released in its 2015 expanded remix. 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「Beach Boys' Party!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
