Alternate Universe Beach Boys Albums....

[Magic Transistor Radio]

Here's a hypothetical for you:  to cash in on Endless Summer and further promote the re-release of "Sail On Sailor", in 1975 Warners decides to release a best-of colllection of recent Beach Boys tracks, aimed at the same sun-n-fun market.  Call it "Summer of '75" or "Five Years' Harmony" or whatever...  basically a best-of with room for a couple of tracks from the vaults that they didn't give to Capitol.  Maybe with room for a couple of "Til I Die"s, but ya gotta think commercial, baby.

Whadaya put on it?

Cheers,
Jon Blum
