15 Big Ones
''15 Big Ones'' is the twentieth studio album by American rock group The Beach Boys released in July 1976. It comprises cover versions of rock and roll and rhythm and blues standards, along with a few new originals. The album was met with mixed reviews, but the highest sales the band had for a new studio album in many years, peaking at number 8 on the weekly ''Billboard'' albums chart. Three singles were issued: "Rock and Roll Music", "It's O.K.", and "Everyone's in Love with You". The first two charted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 at number 8 and number 29, respectively.
With Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar having left the Beach Boys since their previous album ''Holland'' (1973), ''15 Big Ones'' was recorded at a time when the group were struggling with their creative direction. Responding to the unexpected success of the greatest hits compilation ''Endless Summer'' (1974), Brian Wilson, who was not credited as producer for any of the band's albums since ''Pet Sounds'' (1966), was brought into commandeering the ''15 Big Ones'' sessions. Although the band implored his return, they resisted his desire for an underproduced sound. Upon its release, brothers Carl and Dennis Wilson voiced disappointment with the album, calling it "unfinished" and a "bruising process".
==Background==
In the fall of 1974, sessions were held at Caribou Ranch studio—owned by the group's manager James William Guercio—in Nederland, Colorado and Brother Studios in Santa Monica for an album set to be released in early 1975. It was reported that Brian was actively involved in the proceedings but no release occurred. Many of the tapes were allegedly destroyed when the Caribou Ranch and its studio burned down, with only the tapes taken to Brother Studio surviving. Throughout 1974 and 1975, the group had worked on very few tracks that would eventually see release: "Child of Winter (Christmas Song)" in December 1974 and "Good Timin'" in 1979. Dennis Wilson's "River Song" was first worked on at the Caribou sessions along with the Brian/Mike Love collaboration "It's O.K.", with the latter resulting in being the only piece used for ''15 Big Ones''.
In 1975, Brian attempted to establish a Los Angeles collective named California Music, which included Gary Usher, Curt Boettcher, and former Beach Boy Bruce Johnston. The Beach Boys' recent ''Endless Summer'' compilation was selling extremely well, and the band—without Brian—was touring non-stop, making them the biggest live draw in the US. Guercio was then fired by the group and replaced by Mike's brother Stephen Love who urged the group to encourage Brian to return to the production helm. According to Stephen: "We were under contract with Warner Bros., and we couldn't have him going on a tangent. If he was going to be productive, it's gotta be for the Beach Boys." Brian, who had already grown tired of working with the Beach Boys, was then legally ousted from California Music in order to focus his undivided attention on the band. Later in the year, Brian became involved with therapist Eugene Landy who had a major role in keeping Brian from indulging in substance abuse with constant supervision.
