Apart from the non-release of Smile, the biggest lament of hardcore Beach Boys fans is that Bruce Johnston aside, none of the non-Brian Wilson solo albums are available on CD. But now, for fans of late drummer Dennis Wilson, there's reason to celebrate as his only-released solo album gets the reissue it deserves. Widely acknowledged as the finest Beach Boys solo effort, it's now presented with clarity, allowing the full sonic palette--the punch of opening "River Song" for example--to be heard in its intended glory. Wilson's raspy vocal may have been past its prime, but it's still affecting and ably supported by the sumptuous production values he gave the album. With high quality tracks such as the funky "Dreamer" and the poignant "Farewell My Friend", this will appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in The Beach Boys, as well as a delight for hardcore fans as the unreleased tracks (from the unfinished follow up Bambu, easily match the original's quality. While the disappointing absence of earlier singles ("Lady" or "Sound of Free") prevents this from being a definitive career anthology, this is as essential a Beach Boys artefact as Pet Sounds or Sunflower/Surf's Up. --Thom Allott
Album Description
Deluxe Edition Two CD set of 33 tracks with Limited Edition First Run Collector's Packaging. After 30 years, this lost classic reemerges to the delight of fans worldwide. Since coming out in 1977, this CD had only been released for six months in 1991. This collection contains never officially released tracks from Dennis' Bambu album which only existed as bootlegs for decades. Per Dennis Wilson 'Everything that I am or will ever be is in the music. If you want to know me, just listen.' Features 'Holy Man' an unfinished track that never received Dennis' vocal part with Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters laying down brand new vocals. This limited edition deluxe packing feature 50 page, full color book with two brand new essays and never-before-seen photos and memorabilia.

 Not worth the price!!!! September 3, 2008

Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue has been released in a "Legacy" edition with a second disc of bonus material. The packaging has overblown hype suggesting this may be the best solo release by a Beach Boy. Give me a break!!!!
The original recording is not awful. It isn't particularly interesting either. Nothing about it merits the release of a "Legacy" edition and there is absolutely nothing of interest on the disc of bonus material. That Legacy edition is being sold as a full-price two CD set is shameful.
In the Wilson family Dennis got the looks and Brian got all of the song-writing genius.
For great solo Beach Boys works see Smile or That Lucky Old Sun.
 Great music September 1, 2008

It was a collector`s item for years and this great reissue proves it right. If Holland is one of your favorite Beach Boy's albums - it definitly is one of mine BB-favorites - than Pacific Ocean Blue is a must have-item. Great music.

I'm generally of the opinion that "masterpiece" is a word that's too easily used these days to describe just about anything anybody says is good, and in this case that caution particularly applies. This is a good album, and Dennis Wilson's rough-hewn baritone makes for quite a few high points. But what works best on here are the arrangements for each song, as opposed to the songs themselves. There's a few memorable songs on this album, including "Farewell, My Friend," "The River Song," and the title song, but none are up to the caliber of what this Wilson brother often contributed to the Beach Boys ("Forever," "Never Learn Not To Love," "Only With You," to name a few). Likewise, said arrangements get downright lugubrious sometimes; what might have been intended as a sinking into a pool of sound (as older brother Brian Wilson often managed with his arrangements)occasionally feels like trudging through a mud bog. I can listen to this album in bits and pieces, but trying to listen to it in one go turns into a chore awfully quickly. Most of it is nice to listen to, all the same.

This has to be the best Beach Boys solo album of all. It is also one of the best records of it's time. I can't help hearing goodness knows how many influences this has generated. It has every trick in the book and, when you thought 'ground breaking' artists were responsible for some great sonic virtuosity, Dennis had already been there. It is truly a legacy.
Under-Welmed To Say The Least August 8, 2008

At best Dennis Wilson was a medicore back-up singer and an abysmal drummer. Had it not been for the formitable talent of his older brother Brian, Dennis Wison's fifteen minutes of fame would have been reduced to his passing friendship with the deranged Charlie Manson. As a life-long Beach Boy fan, I'm amazed that Pacific Ocean Blue has had such lasting impact. It's clear to me that Dennis had no voice at the time of this recording. His song writing ability was extremely limited and the arrangements, on this album are bland and lifeless. What on earth are all these five star reviewers listening to? All I hear is the hollow, soul-less voice of a burnt-out and over-the-top old surfer. Sorry Dennis. I wish I could offer kinder words for this dribble, but I'm under-welmed to say the least.
