Potential for Carl's solo albums to be given the Legacy treatment

[Jason]

I like Carl's solo albums, but...the Legacy treatment?

 























Oh....you're SERIOUS.

[Awesoman]

Small problem - they're just not good enough to be afforded this treatment. Given what was on the released discs, can you imagine how iffy the outtakes probably are ?

Yeah, save for "Heaven" there isn't much to speak of on Carl's solo career.  I'd love to have a nicely-remastered version of "Heaven". 

[Bedroom Tapes]

I look at it like this.  Since Stephen Kalinich's album was reissued, I could certainly see a reissue of Carl's solo albums!

[Jason]

Reissued?!?

Kalinich's album wasn't even released until this year. Only the truly hardcore had copies before that.

I would love to see a collection dedicated to Carl that would include:

1. Top picks from his solo albums
2. Picks he wrote as a Beach Boy (Long Promised Road, Feel Flows, The Trader)
3. Songs he sang lead on for The Beach Boys (Good Vibrations, Darlin’, God Only Knows…)
4. Songs he co-wrote as a Beach Boy (Good Timin’, All This is That, Friends, Our Sweet Love, Dance, Dance Dance…)
5. And also work he did outside of The Beach Boys.  Carl’s beautiful voice can be heard on some great songs by other artists like “Wishing You Were Here”-Chicago.  Plus he co-wrote some beautiful songs on the Like A Brother CD.  In addition, there are also at least a few unreleased Carl songs out there. 

All together, a really great compilation could be put together of music where Carl added his personal touch.

I don't see why you guys like compilations so much if you already have all the tracks.

Couldn't agree more... people complain "I don't want all of these Beach Boys compilations"... but then we there is potential for a re-release (even if it's LBWL or CW/Youngblood) people complain that the songs aren't good enough... well wouldn't you still like to see it re-released? It's not like you're forced to buy it

When they keep recycling the same greatest hits compilations under different titles, yeah, that could be considered unnecessary. But, Carl's solo albums are not available (legitimately) on CD, are they? I don't have all of the tracks; actually I don't have any of the tracks (on CD).

I saw both albums on a blog a while back. If you have the LPs, you could always record them into your computer as digital files and burn them onto CD, if you have the capability (proper equipment, etc.) to do that, that is.
