Pacific Ocean Blue is Dennis Wilson's only solo album and it received glowing reviews for its depth and emotion
After several attempts, starting in 1970, to release his own project, some of which made it to the finished album, Wilson recorded the bulk of Pacific Ocean Blue in the months spanning autumn 1976 to the following spring.
It was notable that Dennis' hard living had begun affecting his looks and more importantly his singing voice, which now delivered grainy and rough, yet still deeply soulful, vocals.
Despite Wilson's pledge to record an even superior follow-up, entitled Bambu, his continuing decline into substance abuse and personal problems ensured that the album remained unfinished at Wilson's untimely drowning death in December 1983 (a stupid, tragic event which happened as he was drunkenly diving for bottle tops and hit his head on a boat hull)
Thus, this album, alongside his pioneering work with the Beach Boys (he was the only real Beach Boy as he both surfed and drove Hot Rods, unlike the rest of the band), remains a focal point of Dennis Wilson's legacy, even being referred to as a "lost masterpiece."
The album has appeared on several "Best-of" lists including Robert Dimery's "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die," Mojo's "Lost Albums You Must Own" and "70 of the Greatest Albums of the 70s" lists. In 2005, it was ranked #18 in GQ's "The 100 Coolest Albums in the World"

Both surfaces shine like new - even under bright light barely a mark can be seen
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
A beautiful copy of this gorgeous record and my play-check at volume found little to fault - nothing but an occasional light click/touch of surface but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so this will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
The matt gatefold is clean and unmarked - all edges and spine are crisp and sharp with nothing but a little rub on the corners
INSERT: NEAR MINT
Again, clean, fresh and barely touched
