This is truly shaping up to be the summer of Dennis Wilson and the
Beach Boys. Wilson=92s long out-of-print 1977 solo album Pacific Ocean
Blue, the first solo album by any Beach Boy, is back in circulation
and it sounds as sweet as ever. The two-CD Legacy Edition features the
original 12-song album, unreleased bonus tracks, and the aborted
follow-up, Bambu. Meanwhile, the marketing wizards at Capitol Records
have issued The Beach Boys: U.S. Singles Collection =96 The Capitol
Years (1962-1965), a collectible, limited edition boxed set of 16 CDs.
We have reviews of both along with Vintage reviews of past Beach Boys
and Brian Wilson releases. It=92s nice to know it=92s safe to go back out
in the water and frolic in the summer fun of the Beach Boys. Now, if
only Mike Love would realize he needs Brian Wilson and Al Jardine to
call the band he presently tours with =93The Beach Boys,=94 maybe that
perfect set of waves will bring in a reunion well past its due date.
