Carl & The passions So tough beach Boys Pet sounds US 2LP EX ’73 Sunshine Pop

Carl & The Passions/ Beach Boys

So tough/ Pet sounds

Original US 2LP released in 1973 on Brother/Reprise Records. Cat:2MS2083. This album has a gatefold sleeve. Early 70’s two for one. 

With the addition of drummer Ricky Fataar and guitarist Blondie Chaplin to the lineup, the Beach Boys entered a period of surprisingly earthy arrangements, obviously based on what they'd been hearing on cooler outlets like FM radio and AOR. Kicking off with the rough Carl Wilson rocker "You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone," Carl and the Passions - So Tough cycles through all manner of roots-based rock; Fataar and Chaplin lead the band through a bluesy number ("Here She Comes") and a country song complete with steel guitar ("Hold On Dear Brother"), while Mike Love exercises his spiritual side on the gospel-inspired "He Came Down.

The best Beach Boys album, and one of the best of the 1960s. The group here reached a whole new level in terms of both composition and production, layering tracks upon tracks of vocals and instruments to create a richly symphonic sound. Conventional keyboards and guitars were combined with exotic touches of orchestrated strings, bicycle bells, buzzing organs, harpsichords, flutes, Theremin, Hawaiian-sounding string instruments, Coca-Cola cans, barking dogs, and more. It wouldn't have been a classic without great songs, and this has some of the group's most stunning melodies, as well as lyrical themes which evoke both the intensity of newly born love affairs and the disappointment of failed romance (add in some general statements about loss of innocence and modern-day confusion as well).

Tracks: So Tough: You need a mess of help to stand alone/ Here she comes/ He come down/ Marcella/ Hold on dear brother/ Make it good/ All this is that/ Cuddle up. Pet Sounds: Wouldn’t it be nice/ You still believe in me/ That’s not me/ Don’t talk (put your head on my shoulder)/ I’m waiting for the day/ Let’s go away for a while/ Sloop John B/ God only knows/ Know there’s an answer/ Here today/ I just wasn’t made for these times/ Pet sounds/ Caroline no.
