The Beach Boys (album) | Caribou. It also
Monday, December 31st, 2007
The Beach Boys is an album by The Beach Boys, released in 1985. This album is notable for several reasons:
- It was the band’s first album to be recorded after the death of Dennis Wilson.
- It was the first of the band’s albums to be released on CD.
- It was the band’s last album for CBS Records (now Sony Music).
For the album, the band hired Culture Club producer Steve Levine, who took them into the world of drum machines, synthesizers, sampling, and hi-tech recording technology. All the members – Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, and Al Jardine – took an active role in the project, writing several new songs for it, with Stevie Wonder and Culture Club each donating a song.
Although “Getcha Back” (composed by Love and his new musical partner, former Byrds producer Terry Melcher), was a top 30 hit, the album only reached #52 in the U.S. (making it their highest charting album since the release of 1976’s album 15 Big Ones). After the album, CBS Records let the band’s contract expire, leaving them without a record deal for the first time in years.
