Holland is the 19th studio album by the American rock group The Beach Boys,
released in January 1973. It was recorded in Baambrugge, Netherlands over the summer of 1972
using a reconstructed studio sent from California, and with two Brian Wilson tracks rush-recorded in Los Angeles
and added to the album at the last minute.
The photograph on the album's front cover is an upside down image of the Kromme Waal, a canal that runs through the center of Amsterdam.
Holland included a bonus EP, Mount Vernon and Fairway (A Fairy Tale),
a musical fairy tale written by Brian Wilson about a magical transistor radio who appears to a young prince.
Narration was provided by the group's manager: Jack Rieley.
Just as Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" was coming to print, the Beach Boys, at manager Jack Rieley's urging,
decided to pack up and record their next album in the Netherlands. They felt the change of scenery would make for some inspirational sessions,
and perhaps even snap former leader Brian Wilson out of his deep depression.
By mid-1972, a combination of Wilson's focus waning from the Beach Boys to other creative outlets teamed with a growing addiction to cocaine led to Brian producing less music for the band than ever before and so the Beach Boys were hoping to jump-start his creative juices. Although he did make the trip (after three separate attempts to get on the plane), Wilson contributed little to the album, concentrating his musical efforts on "Mount Vernon and Fairway", a ten-minute long "musical fairy tale" which was later included with the album as a bonus EP. With Carl Wilson in charge, the rest of the band had to carry the album, and the resulting effort, named Holland, was one of The Beach Boys' more respected 1970s releases.
