Free Music Review: Keepin' The Summer Alive / The Beach Boys (Audio CD)
Hit: 5 Stars

Well, like your first reveiwer i never owned Keepin' The Summer Alive in either lp or cd...still don't.So, i can only review and comment on, The Beach Boys 1985 lp.I bought it in 90's well after its release date.

I have tumbed through the reviews, here. Seems, people assume wrongly,a lot facts about this effort.

It has many distinctions, making it a first in many categories for them in 1985.
These are the most notable for several reasons:

One it was the band's first new album to be recorded after the death of Dennis Wilson.Also, the frist new album in five years, was a concerted attempt to regain old glories,which it did to an extent.
Second,it was the first of the band's albums to ever be released first on a CD not on lp.
Thirdly,it was the band's last album written,and recorded by them for CBS Records just ahead of Sony's buy out of CBS Records / Columbia Music.
Fourthy,it was the first album for which Brian Wilson's Svengali,& Eugene Landy [Brians theropist] was noted as a collaborating & songwriter with Brian.
Fifth,it was the band's last album with all new compositions. Not,one single remix or throw-back's from other lps added.
I think its one of there best efforts yet.

Enough has been said, about material, and contributors to it. But,facts, speak volumes here. Saddly it only placed in top 30 hit spot and on album charts, reached #52 in the U.S.but, selling better than any record making it their highest charting album since the release of 1976's album 15 Big Ones, and spinning off the Top 30 single "Getcha Back" and the chart entry "It's Gettin' Late."

But, despite the production sheen and spinn provided by Steve Levine (of Culture Club fame), this became another competent but uninspired effort.

This is not my oppion but, that of the music industry.
Which was due saddly to, after the albums release, CBS Records let the band's contract expire, leaving them without a record deal for the first time in carreer. Not their fault, but without support from their record label, their effort was doomed to failure.

This business can see very good release and still see the effort fail.

This all reminds me of the saddness I feel to another band The BadFinger, which continually met the same fate. The difference here thou is The Beach Boys have valid career already, while The BadFinger were still attempting to establish theirs. But, that is another story....
