Making An Alternate Album With Beach Boys 1985 and Brian Wilson 1988

While many people have tried making alternate tracklists blending BB85 and Still Cruisin', the idea never seemed to work for me. The production just sounded too different. The closes thing production-wise to BB85, at least to me, is Brian's 1988 solo album. It's tricky, but I think I've made a decent album out of the two albums:
Side 1
Getcha Back
It's Gettin' Late
Walkin' the Line
Melt Away
She Believes In Love Again
It's Just a Matter of Time
One For the Boys
It kind of works, but I think it could be better. I'm posting this because I want to see what other people on this board can come up with.
Side 2
Love and Mercy
Where I Belong
I Do Love You
Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight
Rio Grande

I'd come up with something like this:
Getcha Back
It's Gettin' Late
Melt Away
Maybe I Don't Know
There's So Many
California Calling
Let it Shine
I'm So Lonely
Where I Belong
I Do Love You
Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight
and on a bonus 7-inch...
Rio Grande

Brian's album with the Boys' vocals and Where I Belong and It's Gettin' Late. I wouldn't touch the rest of 85 with a bargepole

'still cruisin' should have ditched the old stuff, and included 'rock n roll to the rescue', 'laby liberty', 'California dreamin', kokomo (Spanish), even
'runaway' live would have been better...... they would have had a complete 'original' Lp as opposed to some new stuff with some hits.
There was enough in the BB or BW cannon to make this a great album.
To this day, who actually plays this to hear the old hits?

Brian and Carl should have made an album together, but Landy probably wouldn't have allowed that.

I couldn't agree more. I actually like the new tracks on Still Cruisin, with the exception of Wipe Out. I think it's miles better than BB85.
Maybe one day, we'll see an expanded version with the tracks you mentioned, and maybe even Crocodile Rock and Problem Child for completists sake. But, I'm not holding my breath.

how about adding At The Hop or some other unreleased material from the early mid 80s would have been better then some of the songs on that album

Because I'm using a lot of the early 80's stuff for an early 80's alternate album, and At the Hop makes California Calling look like Mozart.

Too right. I think we're getting into difficult territory where, taking a serious view of the Beach Boys canon, we end up elevating passable stuff to works of art.
Leave BW88 as it is.
If you could do something about the awful differences in production sounds, here's one last post LA, pre TWGMTR album with the magical 12 track line-up:
01. Strange Things Happen
02. Somewhere Near Japan
03. Where I Belong
04. Chasin' the Sky
05. It's Gettin' Late
06. Santa Ana Winds
07. Goin' On
08. She Believes in Love Again
09. Soul Searchin'
10. You're Still a Mystery
11. Male Ego (or Oh Lord, if it really was recorded)
12. Don't Fight The Sea (a bit of a cheat, but...)

the unreleased song Turning Point from 1986 would make a perfect fit on The Beach Boys Album 1985. Almost sounds like it was intended for the album! Great song! I would love to see this song released!

Don't Fight the Sea seems to be a bit of a wild card when people on here put together alternate albums, so it's fine. I'm using it for an 81 alternate album, but I've seen people use it for all kinds of things. Some people put it on TWGMTR or L.A, and I've even seen people make a 90's reunion album with Don't Fight the Sea on it.

I think I'm going to take out It's Just a Matter of Time and add There's So Many in there somewhere

I put it on my Alt LA, though I know it still had a lot of work to do, to put it mildly.

"Don't Fight The Sea" would've been perfect on L.A. (Light Album), which needed more Al - and more energy. I think "Don't Fight The Sea" fits nicely after "Goin' South" (or "Full Sail", take your pick) and before "Sumahama".
