The Big Beat 1963 is a compilation album released on December 17, 2013, exclusively through digital distribution. It features selections of early demos and recordings made by Brian Wilson in the early 1960s with such acts as the Beach Boys and the Honeys.[1][2]
The compilation's release came as a result of revised European copyright laws, forcing some labels to publish unreleased archival material so that they will not lose their copyright.[1][3][4]
About the music[edit]
A good move, because Wilson is not a great singer. The brave production on No Pier Pressure picks up not so good. It listens all easy way, but at the same time makes little impression. Newcomers can better the great solo albums That Lucky Old Sun (2007) or Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin (2011) listen.

I fell in love with the music from 'No Pier Pressure' in 2016 after seeing the concert on TV. The best song by far is 'Runaway Dancer' but a close second would be 'Guess You Had To Be There'. Another favorite is 'On The Island' featuring Zoe Deschanel. Every song is wonderful and it's nice to hear Brian doing something a little different. No Pier Pressure Brian Wilson.

Up until the time of the album's release, none of the tracks contained within had been commercially released. However many of them had appeared on bootlegs over the years.[5]
'Summer Moon'[edit]
The song 'Summer Moon' started out as a different title, 'Surfer Moon' which was previously recorded by Bob Norberg & Sheri Pomeroy. In May 1963, Brian Wilson got together with some top Los Angeles session musicians who would later become The Wrecking Crew. This time Norberg recorded it with a local singer and future actress Victoria Hale, the song was recorded at United Recorders. Jan Berry took care of the string arrangements.[6][7][8] Victoria Hale was known as Vickie Kocher back then. Having already rehearsed their vocals at Norberg's Crenshaw Park apartment, they recorded the song at the Western Studio. Brian Wilson's vocals were also added to the recording. A three track recording was done and Wilson had made a rough dub was made. Wilson also gave Kocher an acetate to have as a keepsake.[9] According to the Friday Night Boys blog, Victoria Hale who possessed the only known acetate of 'The Summer Moon' was contacted by David Beard of examiner.com. He put Alan Boyd and Mark Linett in touch with her. It was arranged for her to hand-carry her acetate to a professional mastering studio to make a digital transfer from it.[10]
