Which Beach Boys LP after Pet Sounds

If you ever come across an album by Dennis Wilson called "Pacific Ocean Blue" you should get it. Despite Wilson himself claiming the album had "no substance", Pacific Ocean Blue performed well critically and continues to maintain a cult following. The album was out of print and difficult to obtain for more than a decade, but has been reissued.

Yes, the Dennis Wilson: POB was reissued by sundazed if I am not mistaken. I may order the Sunflower/Surf's up while I am waiting for the Today LP. The shelves in Borders & Barnes & Noble are pretty sparse, so I will have to wait a bit for this one. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when I saw a very large selection of LP's on the Barnes & Noble website though. I ordered the Dire Straits S/T LP, and the new Neil Young: Dreamin' Man live '92. This is the one that is essentially a live Harvest Moon. Back on the Beach Boys. FWIW, there were two Compilation Cd's at Borders. Sounds of Summer and Warmth of the Sun. I am mentioning these because both are HDCD CD's.

Sunflower

I would strongly second "Surfer Girl" - that's an album I think you're more likely to love than a lot of the others. And of course there's "Smiley Smile," if you're into the weirder side of Brian Wilson. Going deeper still, you can find the old bootleg tapes of the "Smile" sessions, which are rather fascinating, albeit disturbing in parts (e.g. - Dennis Wilson's collaboration with Charles Manson).

Thanks, FWIW I started by first buying a used first pressing of Today. It was a real snap-crackle-pop copy, that I immediately retired. So as I mentioned previously, I picked up the the Capitol reissue. I only mention this because, as many of us know, new does not mean better. So I will tip toe in to this, by first hearing the reissue when it arrives. The BB's used vinyl does not seem plentiful, certainly not in the two vinyl shops I have checked out.
