Product Description: Apart from the non-release of Smile, the biggest lament of hardcore Beach Boys fans is that Bruce Johnston aside, none of the non-Brian Wilson solo albums are available on CD. But now, for fans of late drummer Dennis Wilson, there's reason to celebrate as his only-released solo album gets the reissue it deserves. Widely acknowledged as the finest Beach Boys solo effort, it's now presented with clarity, allowing the full sonic palette--the punch of opening "River Song" for example--to be heard in its intended glory. Wilson's raspy vocal may have been past its prime, but it's still affecting and ably supported by the sumptuous production values he gave the album. With high quality tracks such as the funky "Dreamer" and the poignant "Farewell My Friend", this will appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in The Beach Boys, as well as a delight for hardcore fans as the unreleased tracks (from the unfinished follow up Bambu, easily match the original's quality. While the disappointing absence of earlier singles ("Lady" or "Sound of Free") prevents this from being a definitive career anthology, this is as essential a Beach Boys artefact as Pet Sounds or Sunflower/Surf's Up. --Thom Allott

DENNIS WILSON " OUR ANGEL HAS COME HOME" A++++
Well finally God Bless his sweet soul, Dennis Wilson is getting the recognition he deserves. What a out poor of feeling from the inner Soul, what a true revealing emotion in every song sung with love, fear, happiness & understanding. There will never be another piece of art music like this...The Wilson's have a special God given talent in there family that no other musician could ever match! Brian, Dennis & Carl are one of a kind and no one will ever come close...God Bless Dennis & Carl both as they are now singing in God's Quire.
Every song is sung with true meaning deep, deep within the soul. Dennis knows how to really make you feel like he does by pooring out his spirt & soul on this album.
I always thought that the Beach Boys "LA Light Album" was so underated. It has Dennis singing "Love Surrounds Me" that was a song from the Bamboo Sessions which was phenominal. "Angel Come Home" was another great song sung by Dennis. This was great a greatly UNDERATED Beach Boys Album.
But lets get back to POB & Bamboo Sessions....
If there is one CD or Album you should buy this Summer, Buy Dennis Wilson POB & Bamboo. You will not be disapointed. The sound is fantastic & the clarity is beautiful. Plenty of Photos and Memories...
You will not be disappointed!
P.S Now we just need one more great album from Brian and the remaining Beach Boys to close this wonderful journey of Love, Hope, Happiness, Youth & fear all rolled into one solid album "WITHOUT TERRY MELTCHER"!

welcomed reissue....
I have a vinyl copy and the 1991 CD copy of this album.... the remastering on this issue is fantastic. It is great to see this album reissued along with the Bambu sessions; long overdue. There isn't a weak track on POB and the unreleased track "Tug Of Love" is a gem; how this remained unreleased for over 30yrs is a wonder.
I admire the talent of Dennis Wilson, i prefer his solo material above the other BeachBoys, including his contributions on Sunflower and 20/20. The reissue of POB should see Dennis Wilson's talent recogised by a newer and wider audience...... deservedly so...

The Real Review
After reading the recent reviews by "Curt The Rock Expert" who obviously has no clue who "handled" the production of this LP, and the guy who insists that the Explorers Club is superior to this...sigh...I had to weigh in. Granted I'm as biased a reviewer as there is, but someone needed to balance the deficit left by these underwhelming opinions. To me this is one of rock's most original statements ever. This is a great, great release by a completely unique and honest artist. POB/Bambu is a one of a kind listening experience...and once it connects with an individual it never loses its appeal. It penetrates and lives in your heart... forever. I'm happy to see so many of you are feeling it, and I feel sorry for the few who don't. Thanks to Dennis for giving us the truth. Its a beautiful thing.

Magnificent-Expect to listen to and hear in a way different than you have ever listened to anything before! before!
This is an incredible release, anticipated for many many years. I have missed out on this numerous times, and have just never been willing to shuck out the big bucks to get this. Now I'm kind of glad I didn't-what a water
shed of music to sift through. One things for sure the wait was well worth it, even though it's been thirty years.
I have been a Beach Boys freak since 1976, and havebeen listening to them intently since 1968. The
first album that i bought, and didn't leave my turntable was friends, and even at the age of 13, i couldn't get
over the spirituality of their music. This is what has always drawn me to them. Dennis I felt was always at the front of this attitude, and this collection really shows it! While I will say that an edited version (you could do on your own) might be a more polished and stronger release-this is a joy to listen to, in fact I have found that each time I listen it gets a little better! So sit back, and let Dennis take you through his journey in life, if you care to come along, you'll not be the same again!

sentamentalism?
Please people let's not get carried away. As a music producer I understand as perhaps some of you do not that the strength of this CD is NOT it's "songs" i.e. compositions, it's the stellar production, which was handled by the man who produced all of the early Chicago albums.
Yes there are a few high points, BUT what a shame Dennis Wilson DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BEST HARMONY GROUP IN HISTORY, HIS OWN EX-BANDMATES!!!! Yes, Carl Wilson,Bruce Johnston and Hal Blaine are listed in the credits, but their contributions aren't evident in the listening. Take a real look at the cover photo of a man only in his 30's who looks; depressed, addicted and at least 20 years older than his age, this tells the real story of Dennis' life. If Dennis had only had enough humility to ask for Brian's help in the product of this material, it could possibly have been "shined" up to the level of another Pet Sounds. The deluxe package features 2 bios (both almost identical to the other) why bother? The irony is that Dennis real life situation was MUCH more interesting than either of these gloppy centimental fairy tales. For Beach Boys purists and completists ONLY. This material does not stand up on it's own merit and you guys know it.
