Ahhh Holland. I was just listening to this album today.

So beautiful. Side two is up there with anything The Boys ever did.

Yep, a nice read. But there's something not right about the dates. The Boys definitely started recording Holland in June, but it didn't last until November.

Technically the last Holland session took place in November (Sail On Sailor), but the last known recording in Baambrugge was August 15th. The next day a new summer tour started in the U.S.. A few more Holland sessions are documented to have been recorded in Baambrugge in late August and September, but those were in between U.S.-gigs, and it's highly doubtful they came back to the Netherlands for that.

Or - as AGD explains on his Bellagio website:

 Although these session dates are clearly incompatible with the established concert dates,
  this is what the AFM sheets say, and they are included for reference: the best guess is that
  someone is misremembering by a month or so as most of the AFM sheets for the
  Holland sessions are backdated, having been filed after the band returned to the USA.

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

Very nice!

Between 1968 and 1973 the music of The Beach Boys revealed ecology, spirituality and love. Carl & Dennis Wilson took the reins, and Mike and Alan, reflected. The results? Something magical happened. Not on the charts, but in the artistic hearts of the group members. In the midst of this discovery they recorded some of their best work [Friends, Sunflower, Surf’s Up, So Tough and Holland].


I think we should not forget that Holland (and Surf's Up too for that matter) was commercially quite succesful.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Purchased the CATP / Holland two-fer a couple of weeks ago.


Just listened to it a couple of times, and most definitely 

 Thumbs Up

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Al's dead on with the Beaks of Eagles of the California Saga . The song pieces are great, the poetry gets in the way.
