Vinyl LP re-pressing of this gem of an album by the pop-rock icons. With the addition of drummer Ricky Fataar and guitarist Blondie Chaplin to the line-up, The Beach Boys entered a period of surprisingly earthy arrangements, obviously based on what they'd been hearing on cooler outlets like FM radio and AOR. Kicking off with the rough Carl Wilson rocker You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone, Carl and the Passions - So Tough cycles through all manner of roots-based rock; Fataar and Chaplin lead the band through a bluesy number (Here She Comes) and a country song complete with steel guitar (Hold On Dear Brother), while Mike Love exercises his spiritual side on the gospel-inspired He Came Down. You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone, Here She Comes, He Come Down, Marcella, Hold on Dear Brother, Make It Good, All This Is That, Cuddle Up
