Over the past few years, one of the biggest thrills for
Beach Boys
fans has been their end-of-the-year copyright releases, resulting in
legal bootlegs from the band’s official archives. These digital only
affairs have shed light on their creative process by releasing outtakes,
demos, and live shows from the vaults that not even the most hardcore
have heard. This year is no exception, even as the band released a
wonderfully delightful two-disc set of outtakes and sessions from the
post-Smile Beach Boys, 1967-Sunshine Tomorrow. Of course, that
particular cornucopia would be hard to top, and this year’s release:
1967-Sunshine Tomorrow 2: The Studio Sessions does feel more like leftovers than a main course.
