Dennis Wilson lost album Tornadoes?

[Magic Transistor Radio]

I would like to give a shout out to the YouTube channel called Beach Boys Talk. They interviewed author and musician Jon Stebbins recently. He mentioned something about Dennis recording enough material to record 3 album's in 76-77. We all know about Pacific Ocean Blue and Bambu. But he mentioned another working title called Tornadoes.  Anyone know anything about this? Have songs been circulating from it?

Tornado was a working title for Bambu...another was End Of The Line, according to Carli Muñoz. Since Dennis had a three-album deal with Caribou, the latter title may have been earmarked for the last of the three. Anyway, there were plenty of reports at the time of him recording all three albums in rapid succession, but as we know the latter two were never completed. There are probably enough unfinished tracks, instrumental-only tracks, alternate versions, alternate mixes...and POB tour rehearsal tapes...to fill up another release, should Mr. Guercio decide to bankroll it.
