History

Historical Context

The Beach Boys faced significant challenges in the late 1970s, particularly with their 1977 album "Adult/Child," which was shelved despite being completed. Their previous album, "The Beach Boys Love You," sold only 15,000 copies, reflecting a struggle to adapt to changing musical tastes.
