PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE Returns On Gatefold Triple LP
"Everything that I am or will ever be is in the music. If you want to know me, just listen." - Dennis Wilson
Arrives in stores June 17, 2008, on CD from Caribou/Epic/Legacy and a gatefold triple LP edition from Sundazed Music
Much is made of his older brother Brian's tortured genius, but Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson had his own deeply artistic statement to make-one he made with moody, heartrending beauty and fathomless, soulful introspection on his 1977 masterpiece, Pacific Ocean Blue. Besides being the first solo album by a member of the Beach Boys, Pacific Ocean Blue is a lost classic of '70s West Coast rock, a richly orchestrated opus that swaths the singer-songwriter's delicate and profoundly personal observations in epic, wide-screen arrangements that easily match the drama of the celluloid blockbusters made in his Hollywood back yard.
PermalinkPOB Track List
Legacy Recordings has issued a press release that features the track list for the reissued PACIFIC OCEAN BLUES:
"In September of 1977 Dennis Wilson released what is still today, in my opinion, the best solo album ever released by a Beach Boy (yeah, sorry Brian) called Pacific Ocean Blue. After its initial release, the record was cut out in 1979 and while it appeared briefly on CD for a few months in 1991, it’s been out of print ever since."
