Editorial Review: Album Description: Deluxe Edition Two CD set of 33 tracks with Limited Edition First Run Collector's Packaging. After 30 years, this lost classic reemerges to the delight of fans worldwide. Since coming out in 1977, this CD had only been released for six months in 1991. This collection contains never officially released tracks from Dennis' Bambu album which only existed as bootlegs for decades. Per Dennis Wilson 'Everything that I am or will ever be is in the music. If you want to know me, just listen.' Features 'Holy Man' an unfinished track that never received Dennis' vocal part with Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters laying down brand new vocals. This limited edition deluxe packing feature 50 page, full color book with two brand new essays and never-before-seen photos and memorabilia. Amazon.co.uk: Apart from the non-release of Smile, the biggest lament of hardcore Beach Boys fans is that Bruce Johnston aside, none of the non-Brian Wilson solo albums are available on CD. But now, for fans of late drummer Dennis Wilson, there's reason to celebrate as his only-released solo album gets the reissue it deserves. Widely acknowledged as the finest Beach Boys solo effort, it's now presented with clarity, allowing the full sonic palette--the punch of opening "River Song" for example--to be heard in its intended glory. Wilson's raspy vocal may have been past its prime, but it's still affecting and ably supported by the sumptuous production values he gave the album. With high quality tracks such as the funky "Dreamer" and the poignant "Farewell My Friend", this will appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in The Beach Boys, as well as a delight for hardcore fans as the unreleased tracks (from the unfinished follow up Bambu, easily match the original's quality. While the disappointing absence of earlier singles ("Lady" or "Sound of Free") prevents this from being a definitive career anthology, this is as essential a Beach Boys artefact as Pet Sounds or Sunflower/Surf's Up. -–Thom Allott Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Royal reissue of first Beach Boys solo releaseAs a drummer, harmony vocalist and occasional songwriter, Dennis Wilson wasn't the obvious member of the Beach Boys to be first to market with a solo album. But with this 1977 release he stepped outside the shadow of his brother Brian and showed off surprising. These rock productions, thick with guitars, drums, keyboards and orchestration, combine his legacy as a part of Brian Wilson's troupe, along with influences of West Coast collaborators like Gary Usher and visionaries like Curt Boettcher. Interestingly, ... Read More Rating: - With a name like Wilson, it has to be goodMuch of Dennis Wilson will always be a mystery. The Manson connection will always overshadow the talent this Beach Boy had. This album is a perfect example of how good Dennis Wilson was, and the unknown will always be how good could he of been? Rating: - ignore the naysayers...this is a great release...disc one, the original release sounds great. the real treat, though, is the second disc of unreleased stuff. even if you have a bootleg of the bamboo sessions, you need to still get this. the unreleased tunes sound better and more finished than the tracks you might have heard before on unofficial releases (ie wild situation, he's a bum, love surrounds me). the tune "companion" is very different than the one on this official release. the one i heard on the bootleg version of bamboo has a kick butt latin flavoured ... Read More Rating: - A Lost ClassicBeginning in 1970, Dennis Wilson had been working on material for a solo album. In August 1977, Pacific Ocean Blue was released and enjoyed moderate chart success; staying on the Billboard album chart for 12 weeks, while peaking at #96. Brian Wilson praised the album - though some critics felt it was a lukewarm effort in trying to emulate the older brother's orchestral movements - and Dennis Wilson vowed to record a follow-up, Bambu. Though sessions were held prior to his death in 1983, Bambu was never ... Read More Rating: - Dennis Wilson's Gift to the Country: A Seminal Underappreciated AlbumAll that is best about 70's rock, with none of what is worst about 70's rock. In the end what comes through is the personality of Dennis Wilson: Beach Boy. bad boy, sensitive, misunderstood Dennis Wilson. This album is a tour de force, and while indulgent in places, is always earnest. While 70's rock is earnest to a fault at times, Wilson's ability to create hooks out of the flotsam and jetsam of his doo op roots combined with honest self-revelations, is what distinguishes this album from less ambitious (if more successful) ...
