Annette - Muscle Beach Party (1964)

This album was the soundtrack to Annette Funicello's 1964 movie Muscle Beach Party. It's pretty much by the books surf-girl-pop. Brian Wilson get's a recording credit on 3 tracks on this album, and Gary Usher gets writing credits on almost all of the album. Rumors are that Brian Wilson produced this album, as well as providing backing vocals with The Honeys, however I can't really find any proof of that on the internet.

Here's what Beach Boys historian Andrew G. Doe has to say about it: "Depending on who you listen to, and when, the two Wilson/Usher cuts are either self-recording with no BW involvement or the original soundtrack recordings, co-produced by Brian and with him helping out on the bvs. if I had to come down one side or the other, I'd have to say "re-recordings"."

I think it's a pretty fun album, has a definite early 60's Brian Wilson/Phil Spector feel to it. Though keep in mind it's the soundtrack to a Disney album so all the songs are very, very tame, but still nothing like you'd expect from a teens album now-a-days. This is taken from a mono pressing.

Tracklist:
1. Muscle Beach Party
2. A Girl Needs A Boy
3. Surfer's Holiday
4. I Dream About Frankie

6. Merlin Jones

California Music - Why Do Fools Fall In Love 45 (1975)

1970's super group. As far as I know this is the only single Brian Wilson produced for them. I think Terry Melcher is singing. I can't find much out about this, but it's really fucking good. Sounds like a missing track from The Beach Boys Love You album.

Tracklist:
1. Why Do Fools Fall In Love (mono)
2. Why Do Fools Fall In Love (stereo)
