Little Deuce Coupe (The Beach Boys) (The MOB) - Songfacts

I was brought up on Bermuda until the mid 1960s, and was about 13 when in 1965 I was just old enough to be allowed to go to a beach party, where the ‘beautiful people’ were 16-17yrs old and were all dancing away by beach firelight to (amongst other hits of the time) the music of The Beach Boys. It made a lasting impression and linked them indelibly to my teenage years.

Fast forward to the 1990s and I have three small children and am always playing music in the car. I get hold of a cassette (remember them ha ha) of Beach Boys hits and introduce the kids to their music and they love it (just goes to show that good music is good music). Little Deuce Coupe was one of their favourites.

So when I started doing home recordings, I just had to cover Little Deuce Coupe. I actually recorded it about two years ago on a 20yr old Fostex VF-160 I won on ebay for £100. The mixing tools available on that device were very limited and editing and mixing a track at all was very difficult. I didn’t have a bass guitar either, so had to use the ‘bass’ on my Zoom RT-123 (another old piece of kit) for the bass line. But, despite these limitations, the recording sounded pretty good and I think it was in part because when the original was recorded, pop musicians only had limited recording facilities, and (early) Beach Boys hits were primarily about the vocals, with a simple but steady beat behind them, and maybe a bit of ‘Chuck Berry’ guitar. If you’re interested, the original can be heard at www.built4comfort.co.uk in the ‘Me Myself and Others’ section.

I’ve remixed the song on my modern recording desk simply to take advantage of things like vocal levelling and stereo width tools (the last helps widen the sound to enhance the headphone experience, but I only used a little – don’t want to lose the original feel too much). Overall, I’ve tried to keep the mix as close as possible to the original VF-160 mix. I think it’s worked out OK and I hope you enjoy this very short (but fun) song about carefree days long ago. Please share if you like it.

Making music with others is allways waiting so I've learned the things I needed and started my one man band. Most home and locations recordings on this site, mixed with great help by Pieter Jonker.
