REVIEW (not mine): This first Landlocked CD purports to contain tracks from a "last" Capitol Records album which they were putting together, as well as tracks which eventually showed up on Holland, Surf's Up, and the Good Vibrations box set. The compilers, like many bootleggers, attempt to create some order from the chaos of the tapes they've acquired, but their half-hearted scholarship is apparent by the lack of documentation, and generally muddy sound found on every track. That said, there are some items of interest here for Beach Boys fans, including the superior original version of Al Jardine's long-gesting composition "Loop De Loop," and an original mix of "The Monterey Saga" which contains what is, in my opinion, a superior verison of the song "Big Sur" which is taken in 4/4 time, and has beautiful layered harmonies which were stripped off of the final versions released on Holland. Most of the other songs appeared on the Good Vibrations box set, but here is where you'll also find the still-unreleased studio versoin of "We Got Love" - a Holland outtake which has only been officially released on the live document The Beach Boys In Concert. Overall, this series of songs show the Beach Boys struggling to write compositions which match the brilliance of Brian Wilson's talents, and failing miserably; but there is incredible humor to be found here, with "I Just Got My Pay," "Good Time" "Susie Cincinnati," and Dennis Wilson's compositions all having a strange, wacky charm all their own.
