Title says it all. I always loved this album, but this price gouge is absurd. I suspect loveless Mike Love has something to do with it. Grrr.

a great find --- the "Brother years" are STILL rather neglected!

When I picked up a used copy of this set on vinyl at a record store over a decade ago, I thought it would have been cool if the set came out on CD. I had no idea that it actually HAD been put out on CD until I saw used CD copies of it at Amazon a year or two ago! (It came out on CD in '91.)
This can't really be considered a "hits" collection (The Beach Boys' hit-making days were not QUITE but pretty much over by the time they left Capitol in 1970), but it's still a great collection of the group's later material. Although there are people who say that The Beach Boys did all of their best material during the '60s, I am not among them. The group may have had all but a very few of their hits during that period, and the stuff they did back then may be more appreciated than their later works, but they certainly didn't stop recording great music after they moved on from Capitol.
As well as a lot of tracks from their 1970-1980 singles and albums, this collection includes a couple of songs (in addition to "The River Song," which is a Dennis Wilson solo track) that, as far as I know, haven't appeared on any other Beach Boys releases. These are "It's A Beautiful Day," which was the theme from a movie, and "Sea Cruise," which is an outtake from the Fifteen Big Ones album.
There are also a couple of other tracks that are hard to find. The only other place (as far as I know) that "San Miguel" can be found, is on Capitol's Good Vibrations box set. Capitol's Warmth Of The Sun compilation is the only other place I know of where the single edit of "Cool, Cool Water" can be found. For some reason, the recording of "Come Go With Me" that is included here is an alternate version, not the one that was originally released on album in '78 and was belatedly released as a single (and became a hit) in '81. (This alternate version was also released on the 1991 reissue of M.I.U. Album, or so I've read.)
The "Brother years" of the Beach Boys are STILL rather neglected, at least as far as best-of's and "hits" sets go. Most collections that include tracks from those years really only have a few of them, as the comps focus primarily on the group's '60s Capitol material (and usually "Kokomo"). Capitol's single-disc, 20-song Greatest Hits Volume 3 compilation is (as far as I know) the only other collection that focuses exclusively on the post-'60s period, so Ten Years Of Harmony is a great find, if you can find it (and if the price is good; I managed to get it for a much lower price than the other prices I've seen for it).
Update: The originally released version of "Come Go With Me" was included on the vinyl release of this set, not the version on this reissue. Also, it is the edited single version of "It's A Beautiful Day" that is on this set; the unedited version (which hasn't been on a Beach Boys release) is a good bit longer. Those points slipped my mind when I wrote this review.

I love music, I live for music, I know music (and history and other topics as well). Thanks very much Snorre Fjær

Beach Boys good timin` music to add to your day (and night).

`Ten Years in Harmony` (1970-1980) is the very best compilation of that era. This 1991 2 CD is a replica of a double LP from 1981. All of their ten albums are represented, but I would have included 4 instead of 6 from `Surf`s Up` so the two albums represented with just one track could get one more each. (I do like well balanced compilations that are not dominated by any specific album.) A nice touch is the inclusion of 5 single edits and 2 previously unreleased tracks plus 1 from the `Americathon` soundtrack, also 1 from the Dennis Wilson album `Pacific Ocean Blue` - in other words 9 tracks not from regular albums which makes it even more interesting for any fan of their music. `California Saga` is my favourite song here, `Holland` is my favourite of the albums represented here. All told there is a lot of good music to be heard here, and I can recommend it to anyone who like good tuneful music that will always mostly be a joy to listen to. `Add Some Music to Your Day` indeed, indeed. Thanks and all the best from Snorre Fjær.

My favorite Beach Boys album

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2020

I had the vinyl version of this CD growing up and loved it then and still do. Has a lot of lesser known songs by the Beach Boys, but it does not mean they are not great song because they are. It should also be noted that they played several off this album during their 50th Anniversary Tour. If you are a Beach Boys fan then you will love this album.

Still the only album that has the Beach Boys version of "Sea Cruise" on it.

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020

An interesting album because it has a few different versions of previously released songs and of course "Sea Cruise!" A must for the true Beach Boys fan who can't get enough of their music!

70年代のビーチボーイズの多彩な魅力を伝える1枚

Reviewed in Japan on February 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

70年代以降のビーチボーイズの楽曲を順不同で、しかも当時の未発表曲やデニスのソロ曲を交えた変則的な編集盤。2021年1月に国内盤リイシューされています。

70年代以降のビーチボーイズを、シングル中心で俯瞰するのであれば、"Greatest Hits 3"が最適だと思いますし、このアルバムが気になるコアなファンは既にオリジナルアルバムも手に入れているかと思いますが、個人的にはシングル用のミックスや未発表曲、そして風変りな選曲を最新リマスターで楽しもうと思い購入しました。

リマスターは聞きやすい音質ですが、曲ごとに高音・低音のバランスにバラつきがあり、サーフズアップからの曲は特にモコモコとした印象。なので一貫性を加味した最高のリマスターとまではいきません。とはいえ、ヒット曲も適度に交えながら、この頃のビーチボーイズのクリエイティブさは勿論、メンバー個々の魅力を偏ることなくフォーカスしたバラエティに富んだ選曲は面白いです。お値段はしますがペットサウンズ以降のビーチボーイズも好きという方は一聴の価値があります。

人生山あり谷あり

Reviewed in Japan on January 7, 2007

ビーチ・ボーイズの魅力の一つは、美しいハーモニー。この点だけは、ビートルズに絶対、絶対負けません。そして、ビーチ・ボーイズを聞き続けてしみじみ思うのは、人生いいときもあれば悪いときもある。そしていいときはもちろん、悪いときにもきちんと意味があるってことです。

レコードセールスは最悪。でもライブは大盛況時代のブラザー・レーベル１０年間の軌跡をつづったこの一枚。現在、廃盤となり、ブラザー音源のベスト盤は「グレイテストヒッツ３」のみですが、今は亡きデニスのソロアルバムからの「リバーソング」一曲を聞くためだけでも価値ある一枚だと思います。それに「Ten years of Harmony」というアルバム名の美しいこと！

時を超え、聞くものを慰め、励ますビーチ・ボーイズの名曲たち。ビーチ・ボーイズ苦闘の１０年にも、それ以上の良い意味があったのだと思います。
