(April 2009) Shut Down Volume 2 Studio album by The Beach Boys Released March 2, 1964 Recorded January 1-10, & February 19-20, 1964 Western Studios Gold Star Studios Genre Surf rock Length 27:05 Label Capitol Producer Brian Wilson Professional reviews Allmusic link The Beach Boys chronology Little Deuce Coupe (1963) Shut Down Volume 2 (1964) All Summer Long (1964) Shut Down Volume 2 is the fifth studio album by The Beach Boys, and the first of four they would release in 1964. The album's "Volume 2" refers to the 1963 hot rod compilation Shut Down, released by the band's label, Capitol Records, which included "409" and "Shut Down" but was not a Beach Boys album. Shut Down Volume 2 hit #13 in the US charts during a chart stay of 38 weeks. Shut Down Volume 2 (Capitol (S) T 2027) is now paired on CD with Surfer Girl, with bonus tracks from that period. The albums are paired out of sequence to avoid the duplication of "Little Deuce Coupe" that "Our Car Club" that appear on Little Deuce Coupe. Contents 1 Album history 2 Cover art 3 Track listing 3.1 Singles 3.2 Sources Album history Recorded just as "Beatlemania" was beginning to reach American shores (and would soon profoundly affect leader Brian Wilson's writing and career goals for The Beach Boys) Shut Down Volume 2 was meant to cement the band's position as the biggest band in America. Instead, The Beatles' invasion was so overpowering that the album peaked at US #13 (though it eventually went gold). Part of the blame for the album's less than stellar performance was due to possibly the weakest ending to any Beach Boys album, with the last three tracks being considered, by common consent, filler. And although humorous, the addition of " "Cassius" Love Vs. "Sonny" Wilson" (a mock-fight between Brian and Mike) served to illustrate the need to fill up the album. However, the high points of Shut Down Volume 2 are arguably among the strongest moments in The Beach Boys' saga thus far: "Fun, Fun, Fun", "Don't Worry Baby" (Brian's response to Phil Spector's "Be My Baby"), "The Warmth of the Sun" (written just hours after JFK's assassination)[citation needed] and a cover of Frankie Lymon's "Why Do Fools Fall In Love". "Pom, Pom Play Girl" also features Carl Wilson's first official lead vocal on a Beach Boys song. Shut Down Volume 2 was marketed as a "hot rod" collection after predecessor Little Deuce Coupe had performed so successfully, but The Beach Boys were not able to maintain the theme as consistently this time around, signaling that prime songwriter Brian Wilson was already running out of car songs and would need to shift gears, subject-wise, soon. Cover art The front sleeve photograph, taken by Capitol staff photographer George Jerman, shows the band (now with Al Jardine making his cover debut) posing next to a selection of cool cars - notably, a blue Corvette Sting Ray owned by Dennis and Pontiac Grand Prix owned by Carl.
