    SAIL ON SAILOR [SUPER DELUXE EDITION] compacts all of the Beach Boys' 1972 work, including Carl and the Passions - "So Tough" and "Holland" with new mixes, a cappella and live versions. It is an exquisite journey through hidden gems and jewels for most fans. Songs like "Here She Comes", "You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone", "All This Is That", "Sail On, Sailor" or "The Trader" areSAIL ON SAILOR [SUPER DELUXE EDITION] compacts all of the Beach Boys' 1972 work, including Carl and the Passions - "So Tough" and "Holland" with new mixes, a cappella and live versions. It is an exquisite journey through hidden gems and jewels for most fans. Songs like "Here She Comes", "You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone", "All This Is That", "Sail On, Sailor" or "The Trader" are songs that in my personal opinion should be known by more people and show a period of great creativity for the band. Listening to this album has helped me to discover and become even more interested in the music of the Beach Boys, therefore I highly recommend the listening of this box set to everyone.… Collapse

    Among the out-takes, acoustic sketches, etc here, it's the a-capella versions of various tracks that touch the most, displays of harmonic unity in the midst of disharmony. [Dec 2022, p.83]

    Particularly interesting among the demos (and these really are early sketches) is the entertaining “Out In The Country” (banjos, acoustic guitars, an Eagles vibe), which is taken two radically different ways; seeming to show that the band didn’t just have one route out of the perpetual summer of 1964 and into the introspective, soft-rock 1970s, they had several – this one even involving country rock. [Jan 2023, p.28]

    The result is a fine archival release that goes a long way toward proving that 1972 wasn't a lost year for the band and that their growing pains and tribulations make for fascinating listening.
