The Beach Boys have just released two new archival sets, 1967 – Sunshine Tomorrow 2: The Studio Sessions and Live Sunshine – 1967, chronicling the year 1967 as a follow up to June’s double-LP, 1967 — Sunshine Tomorrow. Broken down into unheard recordings from studio sessions and live shows during 1967, these latest albums contain unheard material from the Beach Boys during their height following Pet Sounds.

1967 – Sunshine Tomorrow 2: The Studio Sessions contains material from 29 studio session recordings, including dozens of previously unreleased songs. As outlined by Rolling Stone, highlights from the set include “an a cappella version of ‘Heroes and Villains’, the previously unreleased ‘Tune L’, and outtake ‘Good News.'” On the other hand, Live Sunshine – 1967 pulls from 109 primarily previously unreleased live recordings, including cuts from shows in Hawaii, Detroit, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Boston, and White Plains, New York.
