The Beach Boys - Sunflower (European Pressing) (1970)


This album is often critically acclaimed as The Beach Boys creative re-birth. I'm not sure if I agree with that statement entirely, as I don't really think The Beach Boys released any bad music at all before this album, if anything, their most creative period was in the years right before before this album. Though after Pet Sounds, Smile, and Smiley Smile, this album does show The Beach Boys as a fully working band again, and a return to the style of songs they were recording in the mid-60's, similar in sound and feel to albums like "Today!" and "Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!!)".

This is ripped from a European pressing of the vinyl, which includes a recording of "Cottonfields", alternate to the version found on "20/20".

1. Cottonfields
2. Slip On Through
