Shut Down Volume 2 is the fifth album by the American rock band the Beach Boys,released March 2,1964 on Capitol Records. Produced by Brian Wilson,it is the follow-up to the band's Little Deuce Coupe,released the previous October,and to Shut Down,a Capitol compilation album. Shut Down Volume 2 was the first of three studio albums that the band released in 1964 and the first without guitarist David Marks,who departed from the band following disagreements with manager Murry Wilson. The album reached number 13 in the US during a chart stay of 38 weeks and was eventually certified gold.
The multi-tracks for Shut Down Volume 2 went missing shortly after the album's release. In 2009,three reels of session outtakes were unexpectedly retrieved with the help of biographer Jon Stebbins,thanks to a fan who had found and kept the tapes untouched for years. New stereophonic mixes were created by producers Mark Linett and Alan Boyd for the compilation Summer Love Songs,which includes an alternate version of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" featuring a never-before-heard unused intro section as well as a new stereo mix of "Don't Worry Baby".[6]
Partial credits sourced from Craig Slowinski, includes all tracks except ""Cassius" Love vs. "Sonny" Wilson", "This Car of Mine", "Shut Down, Part II" and "Louie, Louie".[7] Instrumental credits for "This Car of Mine" taken from Jon Stebbins.[8] Track numbers in parentheses.
