Celebrations for the Beach Boys’ 60th anniversary year will continue with the November 18 appearance of Sail On Sailor – 1972. The suite of releases comprises no fewer than six new packages, based on the storied group’s recording sessions for the albums Carl and 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. Introducing the packages today, as an instant grat track, is the live recording from Carnegie Hall of “You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone,” the studio version of which was the first single from the Carl and The Passions set.

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 and 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 six releases in the Sail On Sailor series include the fully remastered Carl And The Passions and Holland albums in 2CD Deluxe editions, featuring 12 previously unreleased bonus tracks; the two albums in a 2LP package with an additional 7-inch EP, the original Mount Vernon and Fairway release that accompanied Holland and has been unavailable on vinyl since the 1970s; and a 2LP, 7-inch 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 6CD Super Deluxe edition celebrating the two 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.
