Hey GoldsmithFan, I've had that Beach Boys album for YEARS...on cassette! In fact, it was one of the first ORIGINAL cassettes I got back in, was it 88 or 89 or thereabouts? It's stored away in my parents' attic now, but I have lots of nostalgia connected to that one. And it's a pretty nifty album too! Cool. I have two cassettes, actually, because I had lost my first one, rebought it, and then found my original sometime later. Ha! Anyway, it was released in 1989, basically to capitalize on the recent success they'd had with "Kokomo," their first #1 hit in just over twenty years. Only about half the tracks on the album were brand new, while the others were standards like "California Girls" and "I Get Around" that had recently been used in popular films. I saw them play all of these and more in concert (my first one ever) shortly after the album came out, so it brings back a lot of memories whenever I listen to it. My parents even gave me the aisle seat at the concert, and I got to slap high fives with the band as they hurried backstage after the show was over. Mike Love even looked at me and said, "I think it's past your bedtime, kiddo," since it was close to 11 by the time the show was over and it was a school night. Still have my concert ticket, too.

That's cool! I wish I'd seen them live...or at least a Brian Wilson solo concert. But I guess I have to make my way over to Florida or California or something for that.
