Title: Wonderful Surprise
Review: I have to admit - I was skeptical. I didn't really think the world needed another tribute album.Perhaps if all tribute albums approached the genius of "Caroline Now" - I'd change my mind.It's worth the price for the booklet alone: unpublished photos, extensive and informed liner notes, just really really cool.Musically it's surprise after surprise - Alex Chilton sounds better than he has since 1974, Eric Matthews is stellar, High Llamas, Eugene Kelly, Pearlfishers, Stevie J. from Belle and Sebastian - straight class.Artists from different eras sit side by side, united by the music.For some, it may be the first exposure to forgotten work from The Beach Boys lesser known catalogue - obviously this compilation is the work of true fans.Highly recommended. This really essential comp does Brian's (and the others') legacy proud.Thank You Marina.
