Little Deuce Coupe is the Beach Boys' fourth album, and third overall LP released on October 7, 1963. Despite the potential for over-saturating the record market, Little Deuce Coupe was a success, reaching number four in the United States during a 46-week chart stay, and eventually certified platinum by the RIAA. Because it largely deals with cars as a subject matter, some observers have retroactively cited Little Deuce Coupe as an early example of what would become known as a concept album.
