Analogman Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 He had several children. Barbara Ann was written by Fred Fassert. There is a Dennis song called Barbara - you can find it on Endless Harmony. There is a photo out there somewhere of all his kids together from not to long ago - I can't seem to find it at the moment.

bigideas Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 i like those two cover images - i'm guessing Bamboo is fan made? i would really just like to hear the albums - hopefully Rhino or someone will get ahold of all of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Wilson's 'Ocean' Set For Expanded ReissueDennis WilsonJanuary 24, 2008, 10:25 AM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y. Late Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson's cult classic 1977 solo album, "Pacific Ocean Blue," will be released May 13 in an expanded edition by Caribou/Epic/Legacy. The project has been out of print for more than 15 years due to copyright disputes. Billboard.com has learned that "Pacific Ocean Blue" will be available in a two-CD edition as well as a vinyl version via Sundazed. Disc one of the reissue will include the original 12-track album plus previously unreleased bonus songs which are still being sorted through by label archivists. Hardcore fans will be delighted with the contents of the second disc, which will make available for the first time songs intended for "Bambu," Wilson's never-released follow-up to "Pacific Ocean Blue." Liner notes for the album are being penned by Beach Boys scholars such as David Leaf, Jon Stebbins, Ben Edmonds and David Beard, and the package will feature photographs by Wilson's close friend, Jan & Dean's Dean Torrence. "Pacific Ocean Blue" was the first solo album from a Beach Boys member, and featured Wilson in songwriting collaborations with his brother Carl as well as Beach Boys frontman Mike Love. The unreleased tracks on the new edition were mixed by Wilson's original engineer, John Hanlon, with "Pacific Ocean Blue" co-writer/producer Gregg Jakobson and Caribou Records owner Jim Guercio.

Analogman Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Pardon my french, but: FUCKING BRILLIANT! Speaking of re-issues - I found out a while back that all the Faces albums have been re-released with bonus tracks in the UK - but not here yet. I have not posted anything about it - as I am waiting on Rhino to put them out here. It is very odd - there is no mention of it on Mac's site and the Faces message board is no longer up. I found them on amazon.uk - I just happened to be digging around there one day and found them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stickman Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I just got Pacific Ocean Blue today and it is pretty incredible. River Song and Rainbows are my two favorites after just the first listen through, but I can already tell that it's gonna be one of those albums that I will always listen to, ya know?

Analogman Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Lady On December 4, 1970 Dennis Wilson & Rumbo (Daryl Dragon) released the single "Sound Of Free" (D. Wilson/M. Love) b/w "Lady" (D. Wilson) in Europe. This was Dennis' first solo release. "Lady" (also known as "Fallin' In Love") was part of an early version of the Beach Boys' SUNFLOWER album, rejected by the record company. Released again in 1972 by the girl-group (American) Spring (Diane Rovell & Marilyn Wilson). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borracho Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 i still hold it against him that he had to go and die a few weeks before i was to see the BB in concert - i had 2nd row! the nerve! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 20 bucks at amazon.com I don't know if I will buy this or not. I am not all that keen on BB solo ventures. The only solo album I have is Brian Wilson - Live at the Roxy Theatre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 if you wait you might find that the same thing will happen that happened to those Moby Grape reissues - they sell out quick and then due to legal disputes they do not make any more, so then they go up massively in price. probably won't happen, but you never know. $30 sounds too much to me, but the proper album is fantastic, and the second disc has some really great songs on it too. basically it's better than most "new" albums out at the moment - and equally as modern sounding (in fact more so, in most cases). if you listen to the "noise" track on "farewell my friend" for example - it could have come off YHF and it was made nearly 30 years before it. the only bad thing on the cd's is that they included a version of Taylor Hawkins (the drummer from The Foo Fighters) singing an outtake called Holy Man at the end of disc 2, but it's easy to press stop before that comes on. it's not utterly terrible, but it's not really needed.

Analogman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 included a version of Taylor Hawkins (the drummer from The Foo Fighters) singing an outtake called Holy Man at the end of disc 2 Who in the hell came up with that idea I wonder. This reminds me of how Gene had Eric C. and now, Eric S. sing Beth. The reason he was singing on the 72/73 tour was due to the fact he tore up his hand and could not play the drums. The Beach Boys - Singles Box (don't buy this - they used the 1990 re-mastered versions of some of the songs - which sound terrible.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Maybe you can find it at a Best Buy or some place like that - I have had good luck there with new releases. best buy is 27.99.i guess if you look at it like this - they could easily sell just the Pacific album at normal cd price and they could have made a seperate compilation for the other stuff, but this way you get both, plus it looks like really nice packaging.of course, i'd much rather pay 20 for it. amazon has a 7 min video on the album page.

Analogman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Looks like the packaging is nice - at least people won't have to mess with shitty Mp3 verisons now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
