The Beach Boys have decided to team up with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and bring us a new album. This collaboration album will combine vocals from some of the band’s most classic songs with orchestral arrangements.
The Beach Boys With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra album will contain 17 tracks and is scheduled for a worldwide release on June 8th. A double vinyl version of the album will be available on August 15th.
You can check out the orchestral version of the song “Fun, Fun, Fun” below.
“I always knew the vocal arrangements I did back in the Sixties would lend themselves perfectly for a symphony and there is no better one in the world than the Royal Philharmonic,” said Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson. “I am both proud and humbled by what they have created using our songs, and I hope everyone falls in love with it like I have.”
“This album is one of a kind. I think the fact that the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has accompanied The Beach Boys with these great arrangements is just a phenomenal thing. It’s a whole other dimension to our music,” added band’s co-founder Mike Love.
The Beach Boys also gave their fans an insight into the process of recording the album via a video posted on YouTube.
