So beautiful. Side two is up there with anything The Boys ever did. Title: Re: Mike Love & Al Jardine talks about Holland :) Post by: smile-holland on May 14, 2013, 12:28:47 AM 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: Quote Although these session dates are clearly incompatible with the established concert dates, http://www.esquarterly.com/bellagio/gigs72.htmlthis 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.

Quote 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.
