20/20 is the sole 1969 album release by The Beach Boys, and their last studio album to be released with Capitol Records for the next seventeen years. 20/20 got its name from its distinction of being The Beach Boys' 20th official album release (counting the three "Best of..." packages and Stack-O-Tracks). Brian Wilson poked fun at the title by hiding behind an eye examination chart inside the gatefold cover's photo. Otherwise, Wilson's involvement in the album was far less than perceived at the time. With increasing emotional problems, Brian Wilson began to withdraw from the band's recording sessions. He did participate on over half of the songs, but Wilson's only "new" contributions to 20/20 was a soothing waltz entitled (rather prophetically) "I Went to Sleep" and his and Mike Love's "Do It Again". It had been a hit in the summer of 1968, and was added on as commercial insurance, although a small snatch of the Smile-era "Workshop" session was hidden at the track's fade-out. 01 - Do It Again 02 - I Can Hear Music 03 - Bluebirds Over The Mountain 04 - Be With Me 05 - All I Want To Do 06 - The Nearest Faraway Place 07 - Cotton Fields (The Cotton Song) 08 - I Went To Sleep 09 - Time To Get Alone 10 - Never Learn Not To Love 11 - Our Prayer 12 - Cabin Essence LINK
