Adult/Child is a cancelled album by American band The Beach Boys. Projected between The Beach Boys Love You and M.I.U. Album, it would have been the third album of the "Brian's Back" trilogy (the first album being 15 Big Ones.Just like the two albums preceding it, Brian Wilson was the sole producer and wrote a majority of the tracks. deeply inspired by easy-listening pop music from the forties/fifties, most precisely Frank Sinatra (he even hoped that the legendary singer would cover his work, but to no avail), Brian envisioned another change in sound for the band. Some songs on this album are also taken from Sunflower outtakes ("H.E.L.P. Is On The Way" and "Games Two Can Play") while "Shortnin' Bread" was recorded during the Caribou sessions which took place in 1974. The title of the album is based on a notion psychiatrist Eugene Landy told to Brian about adults having an inner child.The nursery rhyme cover "Shortnin' Bread" has a long history of being recorded and rerecorded through various versions (ranging from "Ding Dang" apppearing on Love You and "Clangin'" which remains a bootleg rarity) before finally being recorded for the L.A. (Light Album). Some bits of the song's arrangement can also be found in various Beach Boys related songs, especially in Brian Wilson's solo discography.The album's cancellation was mostly due to the band's disinterest (with Mike Love straight-up asking his cousin Brian: "What the fuck are you doing?") and its rejection by Reprise Records. Following its shelving, Brian lost his leading position in the band for Mike and Al Jardine to get more creative control. They tried to record a christmas album which was also cancelled (in favor of M.I.U. Album) and six of the tracks on this album remain unreleased.TracklistSide one "Life Is For The Living" (1:52) "Hey Little Tomboy" (2:20) "Deep Purple" (2:24) "H.E.L.P. Is On The Way" (2:30) "It's Over Now" (2:50) "Everybody Wants To Live" (3:10)Side two "Shortnin' Bread" (3:10) "Lines" (1:44) "On Broadway" (3:11) "Games Two Can Play" (2:10) "It's Trying To Say (Baseball's On)" (2:10) "Still I Dream Of It" (3:26)

New Sound Album: Considering how The Beach Boys Love You was already a big change in sound, Adult/Child would have been a Broadway/Big Band album easily standing out in the band's discography.

comment
Vocal Dissonance: Brian's voice is unreliable due to the fact that the album contains tracks recorded in 1969 compared to tracks recorded in 1977 and featuring a huskier Brian with a coarse voice affected by drugs, alcohol and smoking.

The Not-Remix

comment
The Not-Remix: "It's Over Now" was inadvertently slowed down (by around 3%) due to a mastering error on the Good Vibrations box set in 1993, noticeably deepening the voices of Carl Wilson (making him sound drunk and sleepy) and Marilyn Rovell. The 2013 Made in California box set presented an "alternate mix" that was simply the song at its proper speed.
