It is an Interesting Collection of Brian Wilson's Outside Non-beach Boys Productions in the Early 60's plus the Bonus Track of "i Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", his Reunion with Daughters Carnie and Wendy. An Absolute Essential Disc for Any Beach Boy Collector Or Wilson Admirer.Customer Reviews:
Portrait of an American Pop Producer.......2002-10-26
Wilsons time, however wasn't always spent just on Beach Boys Material. This recent reissued set of Productions documents Wilson's extraciricular activities. The material here isn't of great monumental consequence, with exception of "Guess I'm Dumb" a presecuer of Pet Sounds quilted material, performed superbly by Glen Campbell (who was touring with the Beach Boys;Brian gave this song to him as a "thank-you"), the rest of album is filled with not-so-one-shot wonders and simple songs.
What we see is wilsons development as a producer/arranger; with each passing track we see a glimpse of man with a mission. The Honeys (Brians wife Marilyn, sister Diane and cousin Ginger Blake)are prominently featured, Wilson at the time was trying to make the trio a "girl group" similiar to the Ronettes. It would've worked, if material had been better.
Included is the Survivors "Pamela Jean" (actually the Beach Boys) a extravaganza of spectorish sound, which could've done great as a single but was immediately followed in release by the Beatles "I want to hold your Hand". Of all the luck.
Wilson is not deterred. He holds true to production and effort; I'm saddened that his studio chatter, which is trademark Brian Wilson isn't included as a bonus here. The Honeys version of "Goodnight my Love" is pure pop blush, only by this time (1969) noone was even listening-not even to the Beach Boys.
The album serves how Wilson developed his songwriting, arranging and production; purists say he copied the Phil Spector style, but I have to disagree. Wilson goes much deeper that. We hear a young guy with burning desire to be the best as what we does-creating music. Sure, the materials corny and cliche, but listen to the heart of the performance-and the backing track.
