Almost unintentionally, the album was rush-recorded and compiled when leader Brian Wilson sought to protect his band. Little Deuce Coupe hit #4 in the US during a 46 week chart stay. Capitol Records compiled a "hot rod" compilation album called Shut Down, including The Beach Boys' "Shut Down" itself and "409" - without their approval or involvement. Brian Wilson promptly readied several songs he had already been working on (mainly with radio DJ Roger Christian) and the band zipped through recording sessions to put Little Deuce Coupe on the record shop racks, remarkably, one month after Surfer Girl had come out. Eight of the tracks were new, while "Little Deuce Coupe", "Our Car Club", "Shut Down" and "409" had all come out on their last three albums.Although it was a gamble putting so much vinyl out at once, Little Deuce Coupe became a big hit, reaching #4 in the US, and eventually going platinum. Because it mostly deals with cars as a subject matter (save "Be True to Your School", although even that has a mention of cruising), some observers have retroactively called Little Deuce Coupe an early rock example of what would become known as the concept album. Great Hot-Rod Art on Jacket of 1963 Corvette and great Photo of chopped Ford Hot-Rod Coupe on Back of Jacket. An excellent Beach Boys Collectible in Pristine New Condition.
