Little Deuce Coupe

Little Deuce Coupe is the fourth album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released October 7, 1963 by Capitol Records.

As with the preceding Surfer Girl album, the date assigned for recording all eight of the new tracks (September 2, 1963) is highly doubtful.

[citation needed] This was the last Beach Boys album to officially include rhythm guitarist David Marks until 2012's That's Why God Made the Radio.

[9] After the album's recording, Wilson re-recorded "Be True to Your School" for single release on October 28, resulting in another top 10 hit.

[citation needed] The picture featured on the front cover of the album was supplied by Hot Rod magazine, and features the body (with his head cropped in the photo) of hot-rod owner Clarence 'Chili' Catallo and his own customized three-window 1932 Ford Coupe – known to hot rod enthusiasts as "the lil' deuce coupe".
