Hawthorne, CA, subtitled Birthplace of a Musical Legacy, is the second anthology collection by
the Beach Boys and released through
Capitol Records. A double-
compact disc, it was put together after the positive reaction to the Endless Harmony Soundtrack to give hardcore Beach Boys fans more rarities and alternate versions of well-known songs. The collection features spoken word tracks from different band members recorded throughout the 1990s during production of the Endless Harmony documentary, as well as a clip from a 1969 radio show. Home recordings dating back to 1960 and a backing track from 1973's "
Sail On, Sailor" were also included. It never charted in either the United States or the United Kingdom, and it is currently out of print.
