An album of poetry and sparse music arrangements co-produced by Brian Wilson and Stephen John Kalinich in 1966 has to come to light, and will be released in October.
Kalinich was the first artist to be signed to Beach Boy's Brother Records label, and recorded the album 'A World Of Peace Must Come' over the course of one night at Brian Wilson's Bel Air house. However the recorded tapes were lost, only found 20 years after, and a release finally possible now through Light In The Attic Records.

A World Of Peace Must Come will be accompanied with a booklet of all of Kalinich's poems, as well as liner notes by Beach Boys archivist Alan Boyd.

The album is set for release on October 6.

“It was done like a home recording,” Stevie tells Undercover News. “Brian co-produced it with me. We started it around ‘69 after talking about it in ’68”.

The album was Stevie’s idea. “I had it as a concept and recorded some of it myself and then I brought it to Brian. He did ‘America I Love You’ with me first”.

Stevie has fond memories of the recording sessions. “I loved making it,” he tells Undercover. “”We had a blast and fun. We recorded most of it at Brian’s house but we went to other studios like Wally Heider and Sunset Sound to work on parts of it. I have fond memories and it was as important today as the day we recorded it”.
