I never think of "Caroline No" as a BW solo record - even though I picked up the single a couple years ago. For that matter, I don't think of "Death of a Clown" as anything but a Kinks record with Dave Davies singing lead.

MAY 5 "Then I Kissed Her" released in 1967 in the UK to coincide with the Poll-Winners' Concert. A disastrous move? Release "Then I Kissed Her" as a single in 1967 as the follow-up to #1 Good Vibrations and with Brian Wilson getting the reputation as a genius songwriter and producer? Sure, why not? Capitol Records is thinking, "Let's pick a song, another cover song, from three Beach Boys' albums ago. I'm sure the fans will want that!" But, hey, it reached #4 in the U.K. It didn't chart in the U.S.A., but it did give Al Jardine a song to sing live for the next 57 years.

SJS, I don't think it was released as a single in the US.
Here are Mike's thoughts, though, which wikipedia dates as May 7, 1967:

MAY 16 Pet Sounds, "Brian's ego music", released in the US 'Nuff said. And thus the beginning of an iconic font's rise to glory. (And a pretty good album.)

MAY 19 The vocal parts for "Girls On The Beach", a neglected gem, committed to tape in 1964
An unqualified masterpiece. In my view, "GOTB" is the Boys' finest hour in the vocal harmonies department: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls_on_the_Beach
