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)
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 Right Now!"
Track Listing:
Side A: River Song / What's Wrong / Moonshine / Friday Night / Dreamer / Thoughts Of You
Side B: Time / You And I / Pacific Ocean Blues / Farewell My Friend / Rainbows / End Of The Show
LABELS: The labels are clean, bright, fresh and unmarked with no spindle traces or signs of use - this copy is either completely unplayed or has received a couple of careful plays only - MINT
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original deep, glossy sheen and have a beautiful lustre. Side One is completely unmarked, Side Two has a light circular mark on the first track but this has no real audio consequence - NM/EX+
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio delivery in all respects with a crystal clear, deep, rich and warm sound. This is a really beautiful LP and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps or, in fact, any major audio issues to report (just one or two intermittent, light and very minor clicks) - this is one of the cleanest sounding copies I have heard and it plays beautifully throughout with superb clarity, no groove-wear and no distortion (it's possibly never been played) and is strictly graded NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT++ for audio (but in all honesty I don't think you will find a copy which sounds better than this - I certainly haven't heard one) - this is a sensational 'lost' masterpiece and is very, very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: The matt gatefold has some general light storage wear (a little 'ring' on the back) but is clean and unmarked. Overall, a very fine example of this easily worn, untreated cover - EXCELLENT
INSERT: The thin paper lyric insert is clean and unmarked with just some light signs of handling - EXCELLENT
