Songs: God Only Knows & Wouldn't It Be Nice
Beautiful songs by The Beach Boys issued in 1966.
This Capitol rare contract pressing 45 is in NM+ condition. Capitol contracted some of their pressings when they had a demand overflow. In this case the 45 appears to be pressed at the Columbia Pitman pressing plant in NJ. Test played both sides for sound quality. Great clean sound, and very glossy.

About "God Only Knows":
Brian Wilson wrote "God Only Knows" with Tony Asher, an advertising copyrighter and lyricist Wilson worked with on songs for the Pet Sounds album. Asher came up with the title, but the song reflects Wilson's interest in spirituality. It was a big departure from previous Beach Boys songs that dealt with girls, cars and surfing.
"It came from God through me," Wilson told Steve Baltin in the book Anthems We Love. "I was 24 when I wrote 'God Only Knows' and the rest of Pet Sounds. All I know is I wrote what was in my heart. And the lyrics and the music just connect with people."
Paul McCartney considers The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" to be "the greatest song ever written" and one of the few songs that can make him cry.
