(“20/20” is the 15th studio album by american rock group the Beach Boys, released in ‘February 1969’)
.
The album was named for being the Beach Boys’ 20th album release when compilations were included in the tally.
It reached No. 3 on UK record charts and No. 68 in the US.
As the fourth-consecutive album not to be produced by Brian Wilson alone, the album includes songs that span across a variety of different genres including hard rock, country and psychedelic pop.
Wilson was absent during most of the album’s recording after admitting himself into a psychiatric hospital, requiring Carl and Dennis Wilson to retrieve several outtakes he had recorded years earlier.
While Brian does not appear on the front cover, the inner gatefold of the original vinyl release features him alone, behind an eye examination chart.
The singles “Do It Again” and “Bluebirds over the Mountain” preceded the album’s release by several months.
The former was the band’s first attempt at revisiting the surf sound they had abandoned since All Summer Long, topping UK and Australian charts, and the latter contained a B-side written by Charles Manson: “Never Learn Not to Love”.
20/20 would be the last studio album released on Capitol Records that would contain new material for the next 17 years.

(the following singles “I Can Hear Music”, “Break Away”, and “Cotton Fields” concluded their contract)
