For the Completist Only!

"Only 4 video clips exist on this 70 minute DVD by the Beach Boys... lip-synched performances of DO IT AGAIN, CALIFORNIA GIRLS, BREAK AWAY and SURFIN' USA, vintage 1968/1969, from German television. And sadly, the videos are edited with pre-programmed fades, so we lose a bit of the open and close of each performance. The producers have included these videos twice on the disc - the second time including annoying "pop-up" biographical factoids for our viewing pleasure. The rest of the disc is padded out with promotional music clips from other Ventura music releases. If you can live without these four vintage performances, then stay away from this misleading collection."
Wretched

"Bad menus. Sloppy packaging. 7 minutes of Beach Boys...50 minutes of junk adverts."

"This was a terrible waste of money, the (beach boys) content of this could have been put as extras on another DVD, but it is certainly not enough to nessassatate its own DVD. Its filled with crap adverts for other DVDs. I was extremely dissappointed."
Beach Boys Special Edition is not so special

"This was totally disappointing. We wanted a dvd that we could put on and have it repeat continuously, this one can't do it. It is the craziest thing I have ever seen. Would not buy another Beach Boys DVD for fear it would be the same, unfortunately, we bought two at the same time. Both are equally bad."
