Set for release on November 18th is the Beach Boys' latest era encompassing box set, titled, Sail On Sailor – 1972. The package follows last year's critically acclaimed Feel Flows collection and will be available as a six-CD Super Deluxe Edition along with a five-LP, seven-inch EP vinyl box set. The box includes a 12.5-inch-by-10-inch hardback book featuring liner notes and rare and previously-unseen photos.
The five-LP set includes a reproduction of the original Holland promotional book telling the story of the making of the album and four collectable lithographs. Sail On Sailor – 1972 will also be available digitally and in abbreviated vinyl and CD versions.
The collection includes remastered versions of the band's 1972 album, Carl And The Passions – “So Tough” and the following year's Holland. In addition to co-founders Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, Mike Love, and Al Jardine, the albums featured the group's then-latest recruits — South African musicians Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar. The pair, along with their band the Flame, had been signed to the Beach Boys' Brother Records imprint.
