Brian Wilson Instagram – 45 years ago this week, The Beach Boys released their L.A. (Light Album), their 23rd studio effort. While Brian didn’t have much to do with the recording, his “Good Timin’,” written with Carl was at Top 40 hit and featured stellar group harmonies. Said Brian of this period: “Record labels kept asking us for new albums. Maybe “asking” is a polite word. They expected them, and didn’t expect anything but yes for an answer. So we ended up making records, but they were records that showed how the band was being pulled in many different directions at once, albums like M.I.U. Album in 1978, L.A. (Light Album) in 1979, and Keepin’ the Summer Alive in 1980. Most fans of the band don’t like those records. Some fans don’t even know about them. There are only a few songs on those records that I like when I think about them, like “Good Timin’” and “Goin’ On,” but mostly they aren’t worth thinking about too hard. I didn’t do much on those albums.”
