real one detected this is actually in my top 5 bbs song

the band really proved themselves without brian on this one, outstanding songcrafting

here’s a funny story of the album idk if my bbs hardcore pros knows @Fantasy @Elric but the reason this album is titled as such is that the band were retrying to rebrand themselves as they were seen as washed in this new conscious 70s era

so actually believe it or not the ORIGINAL pressing of the album did not having any indication of the bbs name on the album cover whatsoever ! only on the little corner of the vinyl you know that thin side?

carl and the passions was the band of carl’s band pre beach boys i believe or something to that effect.. ill have to double check

so you can see if you take out the big beach boys writing on the cover they tried to fool ppl and sell it as the band named carl and the passionate and the album called so tough they thot they could get away with that

also i know lot of album covers during that era had these pastel made artworks but this is underwhelming, the hell wannna see the door of a car!!! really doesn’t do the album material any justice

here’s a song i love from the album that is entirely written by blondie chaplin and ricky fataar

this is like the most anti beach boys song ever, sounds nothing like anything they did, amazing bass line! i usually send this to any, like rolling stones stans who never got the bbs and it works !

blondie chaplin (the singer guitarist songwriter) and ricky fataar (drummer) the new band members duo personally recruited by carl wilson when he was down in london to scout some new talents, they’re originally from south africa and had their band the flames which got just one album and is criminally slept on imo: this song for example is glorious

@SoHelpMeDog @Teal_

they got the job in time for surf’s up under the new management of jack riley (thank god he miraculously got involved with the bbs!) until after holland (to which blondie contributed leaving this town, and the nice we got love who didn’t make the album but was included on the 1973 live @Bad_Finger_Boogie ) where he got into a physical fight with a mike love relative and he and ricky both left, altho they still got some gig on stuff like 15 big ones and the miu album afterwards

things turned out fine anyway as blondie joined the rolling stones later on

he then joined brian wilson band when the bbs called it off after the 50th reunion tour, which was cool because even tho blondie was involved through the whole 70s bbs act he never got on record with brian or went live with him, at least only rarely so this made up for it and it was great hearing him replay some of his bbs era catalogue or take on other songs we never heard him sing before

is their walk on by the greatest unfinished cover ever? possibly, how can you make some demo sound so effortless, dennis sounds divine..

the cryyyy harmonies at the end are something out of this galaxy, unreal
@LuJo check this out if you havnt (altho there is out there on yt a longer cut mix that blends different takes or something and makes it even better)

also the extended alternate mix of ‘til i die always blows my mind bc it really sounds like what they did with the beatles “LOVE” a breakdown mix of a song to showcase each sections and put a light on the beauty of every part in retrospective to commemorate and celebrate their gift, but that alternative mix was done during the albums session!!! that’s insane!!!! A that’s like the dude knew right off the bat how everything in that song was beautiful he had to break it down, thank god he did

imo my alternate surf’s up track list:

don’t go near the water
long promised road
4th of july
disney girls
fallin’ in love
feel flows
a day in the life of a tree
‘til i die (alternate extended mix)
wouldn’t it be nice to live again
surf’s up

as good as pet sounds what you think?

SPEAKING of wild honey and how cool jim morrison being a fan of the album is

here’s something just as cool:

tony visconti (longtime producer of countless bowies masterpieces) picks wild honey as one of his fav albums oat:

Wild Honey is, I would say, closer to being The Beach Boys’ answer to Revolver. I’m not sure which came first but I know they followed each other closely; Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney, they kept an eye on each other.

The title track has got such incredible abandon and they were really riffing like they were jazz musicians and yet it was a pop record. Every track on this album is slightly out of control and it was also a lack of reverb – because their earlier records were swamped in reverb and that was typical of the day – but The Beach Boys just knocked that one off the ledge. They came up with this very dry album and if you listen to the tracks they’re very in-your-face recordings.

That kind of shaped the way I work as a producer. My early productions weren’t full of reverb and I was trying to get that sound with everybody. And this is an example of a group – and everyone in the group was extremely talented – and they were six musicians here, like The Beatles were all talented musicians. It wasn’t just the lead singer and a couple of pretty boys banging a drum.

Especially with a track called ‘Here Comes The Night’. I can play that 10 times today and I wouldn’t get bored with it. I still refer to this record as a benchmark in the same way that I do Revolver.
