Post-Smile Beach Boys albums?

hey mike
hold that long nasal note
and let it float

The question really shouldn't be "Is there anything worth digging up after Smiley Smile?", more "Is there anything worth digging up after Holland?"

I mean, that run of albums from Wild Honey to Holland feature some very good to great stuff. I even prefer Sunflower to Pet Sounds on most days.

I think they were mostly done after Holland, the occasional great track aside. No, I'm not a fan of Love You.

"Love You" was a Brian album anyway. They were good for the occasional track after "Holland" but not much more.

as a whole unit, yeah I think that's generally true

Love You is a masterpiece

Love You is ridiculous but fun

15 Big Ones is absolutely dreadful. I don't mind 'Had To Phone Ya' and 'To Song' is silly in a similar way to the stuff on 'Love You' but apart from that it's practically unlistenable. funny that it was touted as a return to form at the time

Love You is moogifried free association craziness, like a totally burnt out Smiley Smile

MIU and LA both have their moments, quite sweet hotch potch albums really.

Keeping The Summer Alive is no masterpiece but it's got enough decent tunes on it to make me put it on occasionally. I like 'Goin' On', 'When Girls Get Together' and 'Endless Harmony'

looks like there's a ton of 1968 live stuff that came out today too ... which is less exciting but hey.

I'm on a Beach Boys Discord server (shut up) and they had a Q&A with Mark Linnett and Alan Boyd they other day. Mark revealed this super cool thing about the new "Great Shape" fragment that can be heard at the end of CITFOTM on the Wake The World set:

"its from the Drurrie Parks acetates which ended up with a record dealer who sold them for $10k and wouldn't allow us to have a copy. He played it for me once and I managed to get a part on my cellphone and added to the end of the CIFOTM acetate"

CITFOTM

ok lol this one took even me a second to figure out

That CITFOTM story is infuriating.
