"The Beach Boys may have rescued themselves from being an oldies act, but their one-time leader's signal had died out by the time Holland hit the shelves in January 1973. It would be three and a half years before the release of their next album, 15 Big Ones, trailed by the "Brian's Back" campaign. As this collection shows, they could weather the storm - but there would be choppier waters ahead".

"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".

"In this new box, we join the group in a period about which we are likely to have mixed feelings. Much of the music is still delightful, of course. But that joy is tinged with a certain sadness as we know what awaits them. Even with new blood in The Beach Boys, Carl Wilson having recently recruited Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar from South African rockers The Flames, we are aware that this is the band's last substantial push forward before a flush of successful retrospective albums and tours sets them irrevocably on a path as an oldies act".
