20/20

produced by the Beach Boys

Band line-up
Mike Love
Brian Wilson
Carl Wilson
Dennis Wilson
Al Jardine
Bruce Johnston

The first Beach Boys album not to feature Brian on the cover, and the last for Capitol Records for 20 years, this album is compiled from recent singles, a couple of SMiLE outtakes and odd tracks the band had in the can. Despite this, it ranks among their best work, with tracks such as Do It Again, I Can Hear Music (Carl's first solo production) and Cabinessence justly becoming fan favourites.
