More on L.A.
Description from Wikipedia:
L.A. (Light Album) is the The Beach Boys' twentieth studio album, their last released in the 1970s, and their first as part of their contract with CBS Records. Although Brother Records was still in operation, their manager at the time, former Chicago producer James William Guercio had his Caribou Records label distribute the album in conjunction with Brother.
Also co-producing with Guercio and The Beach Boys was Bruce Johnston, who had left the band in early 1972. Johnston was brought in when it became clear that the ailing Brian Wilson was in no fit state to produce the album. Johnston has been with the Beach Boys ever since.
L.A. (Light Album) (Brother/Caribou/CBS JZ 35752) reached #100 in the U.S. during a chart stay of thirteen weeks, and is now paired on CD with M.I.U. Album.
