In August, after the release of Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!) leader Brian Wilson was contemplating his next studio album. Summer Days (and Summer Nights!! is the eighth studio album by The Beach Boys and their second overall in 1965.

Capitol Records is a major United States -based Record label owned by EMI and located in Hollywood California and New York City as Since a live album, Beach Boys Concert, had already been released the previous year, the "live party" idea was selected. Beach Boys Concert is a live album by The Beach Boys, released in 1964 Sporadically throughout September, Wilson led the band and their friends rehearsed current or older hits (including revisiting The Rivingtons' "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow"). The Rivingtons were a Doo-wop group noted for being one of the loudest and most raucous of the genre 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" and "I Should Have Known Better", The Everly Brothers' "Devoted To You", Phil Spector's "There's No Other (Like My Baby)" and a send-up of their own "I Get Around" and "Little Deuce Coupe". The Everly Brothers ( Don Everly, born Isaac Donald Everly February 1 1937 Brownie Muhlenberg County, Kentucky Harvey Philip Spector (born December 26 1940) is an American Record producer and Songwriter. Beach Boys' Party! was meant as a fun album created without a single, because Wilson was readying "The Little Girl I Once Knew" for single release concurrently with the album.
The new single's inventive use of silence was disliked by radio programmers, causing "The Little Girl I Once Knew" to stop at US #20. The last track of Party!, a cover of The Regents's "Barbara Ann" was promptly issued as a single, and became a #2 smash in early 1966. The Regents were a Doo-wop vocal group from New York in the late 1950s and early 1960s
Beach Boys' Party! reached #6 in the US (though it never went gold). Beach Boys' Party! and its surprise hit single became The Beach Boys' biggest successes yet in the UK, both reaching #3 in early 1966 and making them stars in The Beatles' homeland.
