Sail On Sailor 1972

Celebrations for the Beach Boys’ 60th anniversary year will continue with the November 18th, 2022, appearance of "Sail On Sailor 1972". The suite of releases comprises no fewer than 6 new packages, based on the storied group’s recording sessions for the albums "Carl & The Passions So Tough" and "Holland".

The releases feature 120 tracks, 80 of which are previously unreleased, and follow the success and acclaim for 2021’s "Feel Flows", highlighting their seminal 1969-71 period, and the recent, vastly expanded compilation "Sounds Of Summer".

The new project focuses on the period after the seminal "Sunflower" and "Surf’s Up" albums, when Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, and Al Jardine launched into their 18th studio album, "Carl & The Passions So Tough", then left Southern California to relocate in the small village of Baambrugge in Holland in the summer of 1972 to make "Holland".

The 6 releases in the "Sail On Sailor" series include the fully remastered "Carl & The Passions" and "Holland" albums in 2 CD editions, featuring 12 previously unreleased bonus tracks; the 2 albums in a 2 LP package with an additional 7" EP, the original "Mount Vernon And Fairway" release that accompanied "Holland" and has been unavailable on vinyl since the 1970's, and a 2 LP, 7" EP package also including extensive liner notes, by noted radio veteran and Beach Boys aficionado Howie Edelson, and a reproduction of the original 16 page promotional book, which tells the story of the making of the "Holland" album.

A 6 CD super deluxe edition celebrating the 2 albums includes a 48 page book with extensive liner notes, rare photographs and more. The remastered versions of the original albums are augmented by outtakes and session highlights from the original "Mount Vernon And Fairway" EP from "Holland", as well as a previously unreleased Beach Boys concert at Carnegie Hall in 1972. The lavish package also offers dozens of studio and live bonus tracks, sessions and alternate versions.

"Sail On Sailor 1972" will also be available as a 5 LP + 7" EP edition, which adds 4 lithographs, 4 unreleased tracks and a 38 page booklet and the Carnegie Hall concert, as well as liner notes and rare photos. It has 4 previously unavailable bonus tracks and includes the "Mount Vernon And Fairway" EP from "Holland".
