So hard to find this clean = Original 1964 first pressing in glorious MONO ...

In 1964 Capitol records decided to exploit the car scene and release an album of exclusively car songs by various artists. They named the album Shut Down and used the Beach Boys title song plus “409” as a foundation, along with several other artists, a car theme compilation of sorts. Shut Down sold well and made it to number 7 on the national pop charts. The problem was that the Beach Boys were not asked or even informed beforehand that their songs would be included. So the Beach Boys returned the "favor" by creating their own "Shut Down" album, and called it Volume 2 eben though Volume 1 contained only a couple Beach Boys tracks...

The album cover immediately shows one difference in the group. Al Jardine is pictured and David Marks is gone. Marks was the youngest member of the group and had always clashed with Brian Wilson’s father who served as manager. Marks finally had enough and left the group. A number of years later, when bass player Bruce Johnston left the group for a couple of years, the Beach Boys asked Marks to return as their bass player but he declined. Today he is the forgotten Beach Boy but his contributions cannot be denied as he was an integral member of the recording and touring group during their early period. Al Jardine’s return gave the group a fifth strong voice and he would quickly become a part of the successful Beach Boys dynamic.

Shut Down Volume 2 shows that when the Beach Boys are good they are very good.

The Classic song “Fun Fun Fun” makes its debut. The great Carl Wilson guitar intro and Mike Love’s eternal joyful lyrics would propel this song to the number 5 on the charts. The Beach Boy harmonies are in place and include a wonderful Brian Wilson falsetto soaring above the mix. "Fun Fun Fun" would remain a concert staple for over forty years and remains indelibly linked to the Beach Boys of the mid 1960’s.

Shut Down Volume 2 also includes two classic Brain Wilson ballads. “Don’t Worry Baby” and “The Warmth Of The Sun,” featuring lead vocals by Brain, would both become best known as flip sides of future Beach Boys singles. Both songs deserved better as they are two of the best ballads that the Beach Boys would produce. “Don’t Worry Baby” would be a song of hope. Full overdubbing of the vocal harmonies make this a musical feast for the ears. The “Warmth Of The Sun” is about loss and acceptance. Brian Wilson continued to tinker with the groups vocals and here he is gets it right.

The Beach Boys would cover a number of songs by other artists during their career but Frankie Lyman’s “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” is one of the best. The infectious fun lyrics and beat are perfect for the Beach Boys. Brian Wilson builds a Phil Spector type wall of sound until it overshadows the original.

The classic garage tune “Louie Louie” gts the Beach Boys treatment and “Cassius Love Vs. Sonny Wilson” is a track of studio recording hi-jinks that would appear on several Beach Boys albums. Here Mike Love and Brain Wilson trade barbs. In retrospect, this track is ironic in light of their relationship as the years passed. “Denny’s Drums” features Dennis Wilson and his drums. “This Car Of Mine” is a simple song including an excellent Dennis Wilson vocal.
