Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })First Love is Mike Love's first recorded album. Conceived and recorded in 1978, it didn't get released since. Contrasting with the rock music he wrote/performed as a Beach Boy, First Love is closer to Easy-Listening/Adult Contemporary music.Produced by Paul Fauerso (member of Mike's side-project Celebration) the album's recording took place in 1978 while The Beach Boys were working on L.A. (Light Album). Mike was also working on another solo record called Country Love which also got canned. One track in particular, "Brian's Back", features fellow Beach Boy Carl Wilson and "Sumahama" would end up in the tracklist of L.A. . Other songs would end up released way later in Mike's career on his 2017 album Unleash The Love.Mike has continually been asked about the fate of this album (as well as Country Love) and he said there might be an official release. For know, it remains known among bootleggers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the First Love trope or Hikaru Utada's debut album. Mike Love's actual first album, in terms of official release, is Looking Back With Love which came out 3 years later.Tracklist "First Love" "Too Cruel" "You're Looking Better" "Little Darlin'" (also named "Little Leila") "I Don't Wanna Know" "Brian's Back" "Viggie" "The Right Kind Of Love" "Sumahama" "Daybreak Over The Ocean"Outtakes from the album are "Tricia" and "Glow Crescent Glow" |

Special Guest: The album features members of the band Celebration who remains known for their song "Almost Summer" which was penned by Mike and Brian Wilson. The only other Beach Boy who took part in the album's recording is Carl Wilson who provides backing vocals and sings the chorus of "Brian's Back" |

Rearrange the Song |
| | First Love (Mike Love Album) (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 |
comment |
Rearrange the Song: "Daybreak Over The Ocean" went through several changes. After being recorded for this album in 1978... It got rerecorded in 2004 for Mike Love Not War, another Mike Love album which was shelved. Its 2004 mix was reused for The Beach Boys' Thats Why God Made The Radio in 2012 (with additional singing from the Boys). It was rererecorded for Mike's 2017 album Unleash The Love. "Sumahama" is quite different from its L.A. (Light Album) counterpart as it contains less orientalist elements as well as no japanese verse. |
