Catch the Beach Boys at Their Glorious Best: A Night You'll Want to Spin Forever
Picture this: April 18th, 1980, Philadelphia Spectrum. The Beach Boys have dusted themselves off after a rather turbulent decade, Brian Wilson is back performing with his brothers Carl and Dennis, and somehow they've managed to pull together one of the most splendid live recordings you're ever likely to hear. This is the sound of a legendary band remembering exactly why they mattered in the first place.
Why Choose Our Live Beach Boys Album?
Hear What Reunion Actually Sounds Like: Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine performing together. It's rather marvellous how well these old friends still harmonise when they're not disagreeing about absolutely everything.
Every Hit You Actually Want to Hear: From the opening notes of California Girls through Good Vibrations, Wouldn't It Be Nice, and God Only Knows, this setlist is basically a masterclass in why you fell in love with the Beach Boys in the first place. Eighteen glorious tracks of pure nostalgia and fabulous musicianship.
180 Gram Turquoise Vinyl: Not to get too technical about it, but this pressing matters. The weight means fewer skips, better sound, and a rather gorgeous turquoise hue that looks utterly fetching on your shelf. It's the sort of thing that makes you actually want to drop the needle instead of just streaming.
Limited Edition Pressing: This is the sort of release that doesn't hang around forever. Collectors know that live recordings, especially ones this well-executed, tend to become rather sought after.

SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!
PAYMENT

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands
Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.
Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
