| An album put together by Brian Wilson in a couple of hours, to satisfy Capitol records' desperation for more Beach Boys 'product' while Brian was in the pre-planning stages for Pet Sounds. The band (plus session drummer Hal Blaine on bongoes and Dean Torrence of Jan And Dean) bashed through a selection of oldies-but-mouldies and current favourites, overdubbed some 'party noise' on the top, and gave away a free bag of crisps with every copy. The philistinism of the general public was confirmed when this became one of the band's most successful albums, and Barbara Ann one of their biggest-selling singles, at the expense of Pet Sounds and the singles from that.
Given what it is, however, it's OK, and Devoted To You is beautiful...
