Brian Wilson, the mastermind behind the Beach Boys sound. Wilson was often judged by his creative output via the Beach Boys. The triplicate "wall-of-sound" and gorgeous harmonies that make the listener ache.

Wilsons time, however wasn't always spent just on Beach Boys Material. The material here isn't of great monumental consequence, with exception of "Guess I'm Dumb" a presecuer of Pet Sounds quilted material, performed superbly by Glen Campbell (who was touring with the Beach Boys;Brian gave this song to him as a "thank-you"), the rest of album is filled with not-so-one-shot wonders and simple songs.

What we see is Wilson's development as a producer/arranger; with each passing track we see a glimpse of man with a mission. The Honeys (Brians wife Marilyn, sister Diane and cousin Ginger Blake)are prominently featured, Wilson at the time was trying to make the trio a "girl group" similiar to the Ronettes. It would've worked, if material had been better.

Included is the Survivors "Pamela Jean" (actually the Beach Boys extravaganza of spectorish sound), which could've done great as a single but was immediately followed in release by the Beatles "I want to hold your Hand". Of all the luck.

Wilson is not deterred. He holds true to production and effort; I'm saddened that his studio chatter, which is trademark Brian Wilson isn't included as a bonus here. The Honeys version of "Goodnight my Love" is pure pop blush, only by this time (1969) noone was even listening-not even to the Beach Boys.

The album serves how Wilson developed his songwriting, arranging and production; purists say he copied the Phil Spector style, but I have to disagree. Wilson goes much deeper that. We hear a young guy with burning desire to be the best as what we does-creating music. Sure, the materials corny and cliche, but listen to the heart of the performance-and the backing track.

This was originally released as a bonus LP to a superb out-of-print European box set . (which was significantly different from the matching Japanese release -- op.ed)..

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY

Robert M. Burlingam Jr.

These Japanese hi-grade , virgin-vinyl, extended-dynamic range vinyl pressings - while they were imported  in the 1970's and early 1980's - were audiophile and connoisseur delights  (we   have not  seen some of these titles in circulation in years – some of them are highly collectible). These majestic recordings received an  intense, meticulous and laborious treatment like very few other recordings did.   They are characterized by the boosted dynamic and frequency range, almost compulsive attention paid to the fine detail and integrity of the pressing and highest quality  of the material. Many of  these recordings remain unsurpassed, delivering music  reproduction as close to  the actual recording session as possible. In the best tradition of some of the major Japanese corporations -  such as RCA Victor Co. (Nippon),  Warner-Pioneer Corporation of Japan or EMI-Toshiba Corporation  -  the sound quality of the Japanese pressings is, generally,  truly extraordinary - much better, we firmly believe, than the corresponding first pressings of the albums in question.

THE RECORD COMES WITH A DELICATE PVC-INNER SLEEVE  RESEMBLING FINE (RICE PAPER) INNER SLEEVE, LYRICS AND ALBUM  DATA INSERT AND WITH THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE "OBI" (PAPER RIBBON WITH ALBUM INFO, STILL WRAPPED AROUND THE COVER)
