Carl and The Passions!
Rare original 22 track vinyl album!
This is a form of rock music archaeology -- the unearthing of the lost tracks for the never-released Smile album by the Beach Boys in 1966-67. This album was recorded in an atmosphere of friendly but anxious competition to be the number one pop group. But not just a pop group -- to be a pop art group. The Beatles were about to
release Sgt. Pepper, and Paul McCartney has said from time to
time that he was directly influenced at that time, especially in
his style of bass playing, by Brian Wilson, especially the
Pet Sounds album (available as a single CD, Pet Sounds,
or as the box set, Pet Sounds.
But something happened on the way to the record plant. The Smile album never appeared. The Beach Boys (with Brian Wilson's live replacement, Bruce Johnston) had just returned from a hero's welcome in the U.K. to find Brian mixing these outrageously different tracks with the incredibly weird lyrics of Van Dyke Parks. Also at that time, The Beach Boys were in the process of suing Capitol Records, and the other Boys apparently did not want to depart from the commercial formula and release Smile. Brian's pop art masterpiece was lost. This is pretty much the definitive unreleased album! With great glossy deluxe cover, detailed insert sheet by Washington big wig and super BB fan Secretary James Watt and The Brother Records Indian Label.
