About This Album
In 1998, in conjunction with the release of the the Beach Boys documentary Endless Harmony, Capitol Records issued an album called Endless Harmony Soundtrack. It wasn't a soundtrack to the film, however. Rather, it was a rarities collection containing previously unreleased Beach Boys songs, rehearsals, demos, alternate takes, and live performances. (If there had been any logic to Capitol's decision-making, the album would have been billed as the follow-up to the long-out-of-print 1983 Rarities LP.) It certainly wasn't an album for casual fans, but Beach Boys obsessives found a treasure trove of stuff to drool over, including previously unheard Brian Wilson compositions like "Soulful Old Man Sunshine" and "Sail Plane Song," as well as a demo of "Heroes and Villains" on which Wilson abruptly shifts to snatches of material intended for the never-released Smile project. The later tracks on the album were given over to contributions from the other Beach Boys, and these included Mike Love's "Brian's Back" (from 1978 sessions for a solo album he never released) and two previously unheard Dennis Wilson songs, one of which was the lovely "Barbara.
